>Environmental groups have lodged complaints with the EU, citing concerns that the project will impact migratory birds
Seems like environmental groups oppose absolutely any infrastructure construction. It really dilutes actual concerns, because they get categorized into the “usual complaints” bucket.
They would need a job first. Where do these unemployed people have the money for all this action?
I still don't get why we don't investigate who is funding these groups.
Tinfoil-hat version of me believes at the core of all these protests groups and NGOs that negatively affect EU development and seek to economically, socially and politically destabilize it, lies funding from Russia, China and maybe US(AID) since they're the most likely to profit from this.
don't worry it will be 45 billion but we won't build it anyway. But you know, between expropriations, bribes, friends of friends, projects, etc. some money will have to be spent.
WeBuilt, the general contractor, is one of the biggest building companies in the world. They even built a part of Panama Channel expansion.
Why do you think that they are mafiosi?
Personally I don't know if this bridge would be useful or not, but I think that refuse to building it just because mafia risk it's a stupid reason. Italy has a strong law and control system to prevent that and I remembered exactly the same argument about Bologna-Firenze high speed train tunnel and highways that after almost 20 years are successful infrastructures.

Lots of hammer+sickle and palestinian flags in the protests; everyone needs a hobby?

Maybe some semi submersible, low-safety tube for cargo could make sense tho, but I'm not holding my breath.
New government cancelled $1.45b ferry replacement project for cost blowout and everyone expects it to cost even more.
But that’s just an engineering challenge so relocating and reclaiming some land so it fits would be a better idea.
Italy has one of the lowest TFRs in Europe. They should be spending infinites amount of money fixing that instead of bridges to graveyards.
