The Region had decided not to decide. And now it's paying the price for its inaction. It's a small sum (€7,686.35) when you consider the interest involved. But it pays.
The issue at hand was the environmental impact assessment for the RWM bomb factory in Domusnovas: a process initiated "ex post," meaning after the plant had already completed all the work. The Regional Council, led by Alessandra Todde, was tasked with completing the process. But no action had been taken. The company, controlled by the German company Rheinmetall, had filed an appeal against the government's silence. And on October 17, 2025, the administrative court ordered the Region to make a decision. That is, whether or not to grant the environmental impact assessment.
In response, the Council spoke of the need for further investigations and further investigations. A way to stall for time. And avoid making a decision.
Thus, in February, the Government intervened by appointing a commissioner ad acta who authorized the entire operation, on which Sardinia had decided not to take a position.
Except that architect Orsola Renata Maria Reillo, a ministerial official commissioned by Rome, must be paid for the work performed. And who should pay the "fee?" The Regional Administrative Court (TAR), once again called into question by RWM, has ruled . The ruling "assesses the compensation paid to the commissioner for the work performed at a total of €7,686.35, placing it on the Autonomous Region of Sardinia."
