Salvini says the Messina Strait bridge will be a unique work of engineering, able to resist high winds and earthquakes. That's Salvini saying it...

I reckon a lot of newly-elected Reform councillors with embarrassing social media posts from the past have decided not to delete them all so they have an excuse to quit if they discover the job means too much hard work and heavy responsibility.

Italian President Sergio Mattarella has blocked Salvini's attempt to "simplify" the normal antimafia regulations for large infrastructure projects in the case of the Messina Strait bridge. Salvini is said to be "bitter" about it. ilpost.it/2025/05/22/qui…

NGO ship rescues 48 people. 35 are minors. Italian authorities order ship to Livorno 1,150km away. Court orders minors be disembarked in Sicily for humanitarian reasons. NGO asks permission to disembark remaining 13. Refused. They must go to Livorno. It's performative cruelty.
