Trials of peace between the Region of Sardinia and the organizers of the America's cup of sailing . And a window is reopening for the World Series regattas in Cagliari, after the frictions that had put into question the challenges already financed and assigned to Sardinia in October. This afternoon, the regional councilor for tourism, Gianni Chessa, spoke for two hours by videoconference with a legal representative of the organizing company, the Spanish lawyer Luis Sáenz Mariscal. Chessa reiterated the main reasons that led him to express his intention to revoke the Region's financial commitment for the tenders.
First point, the announcement of the headquarters in Vilanova, Spain, as the first stop. The commissioner reiterated that he received reassurance last August that Cagliari would be the first city to host the demonstration.
Second point, the bureaucratic problems: Chessa reiterated the need to receive even formal reassurances with respect to various points of the agreement. But there was also openness: precisely because of the importance of the event, the Region would also be willing to accept becoming the second stage of the World Series.
Always in compliance with the needs underlined and reaffirmed by Chessa again this afternoon. Interlocutory meeting for now: the decisive appointment is set for tomorrow morning when the Spanish lawyer will report what the organizers' intentions are.
