Messina. Bridge over the Strait, Councilor Oteri attacks De Luca and Basile

Regarding the project of the Bridge over the Strait of Messina, a new controversy ignites: “Messina first or Cateno first?”.

This is how the councilor of the Misto Group Cosimo Oteri asks himself: “Following yet another change of direction by Cateno De Luca, this time involving the mayor of Messina and his successor in Palazzo Zanca Federico Basile in an enigmatic political dance”.

Messina first or Cateno first?. The request is made by Gruppo Misto councilor Cosimo Oteri who underlines “After yet another about-face by Cateno De Luca, who this time has dragged with him, no one knows how badly, also the mayor of Messina and his successor at Palazzo Zanca Federico Basile”.

“The need to protect the Messina territory – explains Oteri – also involves the construction of the bridge over the Strait, as both De Luca and Basile have reiterated over and over again in the past, making it one of the workhorses of the 2018 and 2022 electoral campaigns. Basile, who has a degree in economics and commerce, claims that the more he reads and studies the project, the less convinced he is of its validity. On what basis he might claim this is unclear, unless, unbeknownst to us, he got an engineering degree from an online university.”

Every week – urges the Councillor – we have internationally renowned technicians (like today the prof. Diana) who come to the Bridge Commission and explain the quality and sustainability of the project. But all this doesn’t matter to Cateno De Luca and his faithful Federico because they possess the Word and that’s it.

It remains to be seen, given that they betrayed the trust of thousands of voters who wanted and still want the bridge and that only thanks to the 5.4% brought by the League did they get the majority bonus which then, with its shocking policy, he lost.

In short, – concludes Oteri – we would not like that behind this hostility at work there is disappointment at the failure to include the mayor of Messina in the Strait of Messina SpA. If this were the case, it would be unforgivable behavior that at the June appointment the voters did not they will be able to forget.”
