They've dubbed it "The March of the Talking Stones." And more than a form of protest, it's a defense of the land and what it represents, in a difficult moment when the entire island is exposed to the assault of multinational renewable energy companies.
The permanent Sardinian People's Garrison is taking the field, kicking off the identity march tomorrow from Santa Cristina to Paulilatino and on to Barumini , where the peaceful protest will conclude on July 18. A good number of participants are expected, given the protest's themes.
