(Dis) Sardinian territorial continuity: but whose fault?

Probably, and it certainly fails to surprise me, we are destined, in spite of ourselves, never to receive any satisfactory feedback on this point. And do not answer me, with the usual sufficiency that accompanies an unwanted or otherwise avoidable contradiction, that the inclusion of the principle of insularity in the Constitution is the only solution to every "evil" because evidently it would mean not having really understood anything of the problem. All the more so when we have limited ourselves, as underlined by many, to requesting the mere "constitutionalization" of the principle (the usual "red herringbone" useful for gilding the pill for the Sardinian people but unable to reflect efficient solutions) without offering any indication on the objectives to be pursued through the singular and, it would seem laughable, "claim" advanced, however, in total disregard of the "Specialty of Autonomy" that we like to flaunt so much but that we have never been able to implement due to the constant tendency to act, in undoubtedly a de-responsible and de-qualifying way to be inspired by unidirectional and unproductive welfare dynamics, through the constant request for the transfer of public resources to underline, always and in any case, with "hat in hand", our inability to manage a "Self-government" has always existed only and exclusively "per tabulas": poor "Sardigna Natzione", who died in the bud and for having dissolved itself at the very act of its first ideological structure. But, even if we want to neglect statements of a very general and generalistic nature on the recognition and foundation of the "right to mobility", it would still be almost "criminal" to continue to ignore, by side, the absolute relevance of the service in question, as well as the circumstance that, even in an economic context inspired by the maximum "liberalization", it is extremely appropriate, on a different and further profile, to solicit and demand, not only and primarily, the activism of our Regional Government, evidently unable, up to now, to offer convincing answers and to undertake useful initiatives, but also, in a secondary and consequential way, a limited public intervention of productive investment aimed at guaranteeing adequate connections, at accessible conditions, with those areas in which those connections do not appear to be make sure.

In other words: it is a question of supporting, through forms of secondary partnership, that legitimate expectation of the citizen to an offer of suitable transport at acceptable service conditions in terms of quality and convenience, intervening directly through the preparation of an alternative growth model with respect to that so far adopted and / or not adopted by the major island institution: after all, article 13 of the Statute of Special Autonomy of Sardinia, which has remained unchanged with respect to its original declination as noted by various and authoritative scholars on the subject, expressly provides for an intervention state, that "with the help of the Region", is useful to define "an organic plan to favor the economic and social rebirth of the island". So let's stop pointing the finger at the Government of Rome and / or the European Union as the "Mother of Childbirth and wanting Stepmother" (see Giacomo Leopardi, La Ginestra) of the Peoples, and let's be the first to roll up our sleeves to overcome the impasse structural deriving from the existence of the so-called "double track" which has always been the characteristic and condemnation of our condition as southerners and islanders.
