The verdict comes from the highest hill in Rome. The timing is that of the news, the strength is that of the "constitutional" history of Sardinia. The powers of the State have always been measured in authority and symbols. The Quirinale Square, in the heart of the capital, for example, since times gone by, has been divided into two buildings, in the center that of the Presidency of the Republic, on the side, like a sentinel of the laws, that of the Constitutional Court.
The coincidence
When the agencies are giving the first flashes of the State-Region agreement on the areas to be devastated with wind turbines and photovoltaic panels, in the Palazzo della Consulta the Supreme Judges are deciding on Sardinia, on its "constitutional" and statutory powers in matters of “Territorial Government”, on primary skills starting from those on «Urban planning and construction». It seems like an astral coincidence, but it isn't. Precisely at the moment in which a "halter" agreement is imposing on Sardinia thousands of hectares of photovoltaic panels to be slapped in the best agricultural lands of the island and thousands of wind turbines to be stuck in the most suggestive headlands, in the halls of the Court of Laws a very serious appeal by the Meloni Government against the Sardinian Region, then led by the same centre-right of Rome. The object of the dispute is a law approved by the Regional Council on 23 October 2023. As often happens, it is an "omnibus" law, much more. The title is eloquent: «Provisions of an institutional, regulatory and financial nature on various subjects». In particular, art. 13. The content is a multiple subject: urban planning, civic uses, energy. The legislative subtitle summarizes it: «Change of destination in the event of installation of renewable energy systems». The content is even more explicit: «for the installation of renewable energy production plants it is mandatory to request the opinion of the Municipality in which the identified areas are located, which expresses itself, with a resolution of the Municipal Council with a majority of two thirds of its members, within twenty days, after which it is waived".
