There is also talk of insularity at the European Committee of the Regions. A theme that - Michele Pais, president of the Regional Council of Sardinia said in his speech on the sidelines of the plenary session - “is now central to European policies and the proof has been given by the unanimous approval by the Parliament of a resolution that proposes a new pact for the islands, and the other test was the election as president of the Committee of the Regions of an islander, President Vasco Cordeiro ", who is Portuguese from the Azores islands.
In short, a renewed attention on the part of Europe "with respect to the island territories where 20 million Europeans live and the majority share lives in Italy precisely between Sicily and Sardinia".
Another decisive step came from Parliament because the Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Chamber of Deputies gave the green light to the modification of Article 119 of the Constitution for the inclusion of the principle of insularity: "We hope, we hope, we are sure that it can arrive in the classroom very early, to give answers to those rights denied for too long to the island territories and therefore also to Sardinia, which suffers from a condition that is no longer tolerable for some time ", added Pais, claiming" the attention of the Sardinian political class who knew find alliances with other European islands, but above all with Sicily "and also" thanks to a popular movement it has been possible to reach an objective of a historical nature which is fundamental for the progress of our island ".
