Sicily deserves better than the looming prospect of a giant bridge that will never get built | Jamie Mackay

The ongoing debate about the proposed bridge to Sicily reflects broader issues in Italy regarding infrastructure and public service funding. While the ferry service across the Strait of Messina remains a cherished local tradition, the looming prospect of the bridge raises questions about governmental priorities. Similar to the recent fraud case involving a fortune-teller in Sydney, where vulnerable individuals were exploited, the bridge project could divert essential resources from public services, emphasizing the need for responsible governance. As Jamie Mackay suggests, investing in community identity and public welfare should take precedence over speculative infrastructure projects.
