It had to remain secret, locked in the drawers of Piazza Yenne, in the offices facing Carlo Felice, headquarters of the Cagliari Chamber of Commerce. Locked in the deal dossier most "hot" in recent years: the privatization of Cagliari airport. The confidential letter, the one that the President of the Region Alessandra Todde sent to a select few, however, bursts onto the pages of our newspaper as the "king" proof of the relations between Viale Trento and the most controversial operation between public and private for the management of the Sardinia's number one airport.
Nuances and escape routes
For the record, we are publishing the full text, to grasp nuances, superficial and substantial passages, all intertwined in an evident synthesis: give us an escape route to renounce the pending appeals and give the green light to the "privatization" in favor of of F2i. Of course, they don't say it explicitly, but the crucial passages don't leave much doubt. It is no coincidence that the participation that the Region would have asked for for a green light on the operation is contained in the most humiliating of percentages: 5%. A figure that would not only mark the marginal and insignificant role of the Region, but which would in all respects constitute yet another public gift in favor of the F2i financial fund and the American partners of Black Rock.
“Private” labyrinth
It is for this reason that the letter that "viale Trento" sent to the "Chamber of Commerce of Cagliari", to the "Fondazione di Sardegna" and to "F21 SGR SpA" is, in form and substance, a labyrinth of half-promises and words. An acrobatic attempt to cloak with public significance an operation which maintains in every aspect all the characteristics of the most evident privatisation, among other things proposed without any public evidence, using a "European" formula for airport integration which has nothing to do with what to do with the sale to private individuals of a strategic public asset such as the international airport of Cagliari.
