«In Sardinia , the reconstruction of a bridge was halted due to the presence of trout and frogs in a pond. It can't go on like this." Words of the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, during his speech at the Coldiretti Forum.

The leader of the League points the finger at what he considers the attacks of the "lords of the no", to whom "we cannot continue to give strings. If they had won and the Mose hadn't been built, today Venice would be submerged by high water». Meanwhile, "by decision of the TAR, a field of carob and almond trees is blocking the construction of the high-speed train in Bari".

An invective, that of Salvini, who criticizes the excesses of the bureaucracy in terms of public works. The reference to Sardinia is not clear at the moment: according to what transpires, the minister is referring to the Diana bridge over the Coghinas, state road 392, in the Oschiri area.

An important infrastructure for the area, which Anas was forced to close in June due to critical issues that did not make it viable. The road management company had also presented a safety project some time ago and the approval process was started.

The point is that neither the Department of the Environment nor that of Public Works has any impediment caused by amphibious species or fish. For that work or for others. «Additions had been requested», explains the mayor of Oschiri Roberto Carta, «also regarding the impact on the ecosystem. They have been provided." Trout were also mentioned in the papers for the environmental assessment. But the problem has been overcome.

Not only that: in the last meeting of the regional council, on 22 November, the plan for the intervention that will lead to the reopening of the bridge was approved. In record time.
