"We are not a colony, we are not the rubbish of Italy." The great heat does not discourage the many people who have been queuing since this morning at the town hall in Nuoro to add their signature to the "Pratobello24" bill against the ongoing wind attack against Sardinia.
The goal is to reach ten thousand subscriptions by September 16th, but in the promoters' expectations the real goal is to reach fifty thousand.
A battle , the chorus is unanimous, «which must be everyone's» . To support "the right of us Sardinians to decide as an autonomous region" and so that decisions in the area "depend on us and are not imposed from above" .
«We are not against the energy transition – the clarification – but against energy speculation». And as for the desire to support the popular initiative bill, "they are our rights - the clarification - and we must be involved".
The proposal and how to vote
The exact name of the initiative is: "Proposal for urban planning law of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia - Urban planning regulations in application of article 3, letter f, of the Autonomous Statute of Sardinia (Constitutional Law 3 of 26 February 1948) - urban planning regulatory provisions relating to the installation of ground-based industrial photovoltaic systems and terrestrial wind farms with the implementation of protection and valorisation principles and obligations contained in supranational, national and regional programmes”. And it uses article 3 of the Sardinian Urban Planning and Landscape Statute to claim the Region has primary competence in the matter.
After reaching the necessary signatures, the Pratobello Law will be discussed and possibly approved in the Regional Council .
And in these hours almost all Sardinian municipalities make collection offices available.
Thus, by September 16th, interested citizens will be able to sign the form by going, with an identification document, to the electoral office of their city.
