The Sa Die de sa Sardigna celebrations are underway in the Regional Council, in memory of the popular uprising of 1794 in which the Piedmontese and the Balbiano viceroys were expelled from Cagliari. "Today we celebrate in a different way, with the kids", said the president of the Assembly Piero Comandini at the opening.

In fact, students from the comprehensive institute of Cabras and the global institute of Sant'Antioco will also participate and speak in this year's edition. «Sa Die becomes the day of young Sardinians», added the president who addressed the young people directly: «You must consider these spaces as yours, be protagonists because here the right to study, your future, is decided. We politicians need your voice and your dissent: only in this way will we be able to play well the role that the Sardinian people have given us." Obviously, he explained, "the actions of 1794 continually take on new meanings in view of the new challenges that await us in this legislature". Today, for example, " we face the issue of environmental protection, we must say no to all the lords of the wind and the sun who want to exploit our land for economic reasons ".

Marco Meloni , senate commissioner, spoke after Comandini and insisted on the need for Sardinia to defend its interests. «For over thirty years - he recalled - we have witnessed the affirmation of regionalist forces present mainly in the richest areas of the country, this must induce the Island to have its own strategy for defending its interests and redefining its specialty, up to of the processes of reform of the relationship between the State and the Regions currently being examined by Parliament". The Democratic Party senator is evidently referring to the bill on differentiated autonomy which is about to enter the Chamber of Deputies. «It can and we can do it - he underlined – being able to count on a recent and very important achievement, the inclusion of the principle of insularity in the Constitution and which can be a key to reaffirming in terms of rules and resources the necessary equalization of rights between citizens, businesses and workers of Sardinia and the rest of Italy and Europe in fundamental matters such as education, health, physical and social infrastructure, energy, the right to mobility and territorial continuity". Defending one's interests is important because «the gap in the Sardinian GDP compared to the Italian one has grown, and a lot, furthermore for some years Sardinia has once again been part of the Regions with the greatest development delay in Europe, the Island is in the last places for dropping out of school". For these reasons "we need to claim and obtain greater forms of autonomy and self-determination requested by citizens through representatives".
