The bridge over the Strait, it is now understood, is much more divisive than it could unite. The continent that it would connect to Sicily is tiny compared to the party that is pushing the reasons for the No. Engineering, economic, structural, geological reasons. But above all political. The “No”, in Italy, is rarely to what is proposed; but to who. Parenthesis: when Berlusconi proposed the bridge they said it would change the migratory routes of dolphins…
Now the WWF has also made its voice heard. The environmental association, well-deserving let it be clear, has sent a letter to all the senators (who will have to discuss the Infrastructure DL already passed in the Chamber) in which it denounces that the Bridge with its structures, cables and decks will occupy an airspace of 70 thousand square meters, that is, an enormous barrier on the route of birds flying over the Strait. Which, you will understand, is a big problem.
The risk of bribes, waste, structural defects and environmental disasters is now compounded by the sad fate of the Lesser Kestrel, the Lesser Kestrel and the Pallid Harrier.
It has nothing to do with it, but why do we never hear environmentalists protesting with the same vehemence against the impact of wind power on birdlife?
Conclusion. There are a thousand reasons to say “No” to the bridge. Please: let’s use just one, the most convincing one. Let’s say that Matteo Salvini disgusts us, he sweats, he’s a fascist, he’s fat and he only eats polenta.
Use your head, not your dick.
