Bridge ...... We outgrow - Word of the taxpayer! Competitions 
Between Scylla and Charybdis
a retelling of the biblical battle between little David and Goliath.
A clash between

NO BRIDGE one hand, and
powerful advocates for its implementation other. The class struggle on the "mother of the great works."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMjzJnQUM9M&feature=related A project of 65 million euro, given by "the Strait of Messina" to the general contractor Eurolink, whose construction start date is still uncertain, having to first receive the approval, not fully discounted by the CIPE.
The question mafia linked to the attainment of the bridge, the same as that already in 1985 sparked the second war for Mafia, has now passed under the plaster. Without going into the merits of taking such a sense of responsibility on the part of the policy that holds power, it is nevertheless appropriate, on the eve of the execution of a work so impressive, open a reflection on the real opportunities.
the data on hand .............. hydrogeological the territory, and the poor condition of existing infrastructure, would lead one to believe the most urgent of other works, such as those for commissioning safety of existing structures, to protect those who live in certain areas of urban and environmental degradation, not to mention that priority is the implementation of the Palermo-Messina motorway director (today we must move from Catania). Only in Messina have already been applied for public funding of € 219 million, an expense untenable in a city devoid of social services and public parks.
Bridge is certainly not an illusion, for graduates of the Strait, to find stable employment, but the same could not have imagined that with the start of work (just started), would been snatched away the only infrastructure created, locally, to support innovative youth entrepreneurship: The Messina Polo Universitario, converted into the headquarters of the "New Executive Office of the Bridge"
makes it more bitter the taste of the hoax, the evidence none of the construction companies that make up the ATI for the work of the Bridge has offices or subsidiaries in ' Strait area , indeed, some are even stranger, and they all head to groups of old stock of national importance (the Benetton family, Ligresti, Gavio).
Finally, from an ethical and moral seems intolerable to follow the work is the "Parsons Transportation Group, the same company that, at the same time, he had made to the regime of Saddam Hussein Bridge" July 14 "on the Tigris and a huge central electricity, and had, on behalf of the United States, provided assistance for mine clearance and destruction of weapons and alrecupero major oil and gas pipeline networks in Iraq.
L'Affaire summarizes the corollary of the Strait Bridge to transactions based on the subtraction of public spaces, on the denial of real job opportunities to the younger generations, in the interests of private contractors and the most active theaters of war international.
Benefits?
For a car to save time is approximately 30-45 minutes (taking into account the toll). The Rail is the most of it, because they will earn one hour of time. So tourism does not benefit greatly, as well as freight traffic: the saving of time is too small to be a sufficient countermeasure to significant cost difference between the two tolls (bridge and ferry) .. The cost of the toll is one of the Achilles' heel of this great project!
costs and revenues
Despite saying for some time that the cost for the construction of the bridge over the Strait would amount to 6 / 7 trillion, is by believing that it only relates to the product. We do not want to happen what has already happened in many other cases: the private local government or others who realize the only artifact Central Bridge (at taxpayer expense), leaving the public with the care you put it in context of the entire structure (access roads, etc ...). As often happens, in fact, the corollary to the appropriations were not provided, and so arose the crumbling skeletons, real waste, of which Italy is full, especially the South and Sicily.
forecasts a cost of 12-15 trillion are such that no private agree to take on the creation: the payback would be too long and therefore not desirable, nor can you think rates are too high, otherwise revert to prevail use the ferry, much cheaper, and that, among other things, it must be said, would still continue to function as an alternative to the bridge.
The cost also affects the financial burden: it can be estimated at 700 billion and more than a year the cost of financing required, ie 2 billion per day interest . It must be added charges for maintenance, staff, taxes ... All this translates into a cost 5-6 times more expensive than today's to the present day crossing of the Strait . Given then that the particularly windy days, and to allow regular maintenance, the bridge should be closed for about 60 days. year, the costs cited above, those should be added to provide for the maintenance of two systems (bridge and ferry), with significant cost burdens.
THE COMMON GOOD AGAIN is trampled upon, to make room for who profits without risking anything
"This beautiful country, full of poetry, has many claims
but in our western world is the periphery ...
It 'all too clear to the people that everything is calculated
and nothing works.
will be that Italians, by long tradition,
are too passionate about any argument.
