On October 24th, Matteo Salvini – Italy’s new infrastructure minister and leader of the right-wing populist party “La Lega”– announced his intentions to build a sprawling, multi-billion-euro bridge between Sicily and mainland Italy.

Salvini stated that the bridge’s construction would create close to 100,000 permanent jobs for Italians.
