The Punta Giglio Seaside Refuge has all the credentials to be able to continue its business . Three sentences of the TAR say so. «This year Santa Claus arrived early», is the immediate comment of the members of the Il Quinto Elemento cooperative. «We were confident, but after almost a year of uncertainty, we are now finally breathing a sigh of relief. We thank all those who have shown us support in these complicated months and we are grateful to our lawyers, Valeria Lai and Roberto Uzzau, for representing us with competence and professionalism. We have always been serene and now we sincerely and finally hope to be able to continue with our business in the interest of those who have already shown that they appreciate it and of all those who will be able to do so. Obviously we will never give up protecting our good name and our honour, which has been tarnished too many times».
The reference is to the Punta Giglio Libero committee, which has always been against the redevelopment project of the former military posts transformed into an accommodation facility with an attached restaurant. The battle went on with stamped papers, protests and press releases.
Today the three sentences restore serenity to the managers of the Refuge di Mare. " The cooperative society Il Quinto Elemento has all the legal requirements to carry on its business ", while the judges would have demolished every request contained in the appeal of the Punta Giglio Libera committee.
"It will probably be the Council of State that will put an end to this surreal diatribe generated by subjects that we did not understand where they were when the Ministry decided with the "placet" of the Municipality to put the structures out to tender", commented regional councilor Marco Tedde . "I don't think the dispute over Punta Giglio ends with the sentences of the TAR".
In the opinion of the former mayor of Alghero it is useless to raise controversy when the oxen have already escaped. «And we continue to wonder where the political movements protesting today were and, above all, those two or three exponents of the Algherese gauche "caviar and champagne" when in 2017 the State Property Agency published the announcement and in July 2018 the anti-aircraft station of Punta Giglio was given a free concession for nine years plus nine to a cooperative». . “And now someone's trying to lock the barn doors. But it's too late: the oxen have escaped!"
