Change the electoral law through a broad and participatory reform process that brings the forces present in the Council, majority and opposition, to a confrontation with the external forces or those excluded from the Sardinian Assembly. The proposal comes from a broad political and social alliance led by Sardegna chiama Sardegna , which today launched an appeal for a democratic and inclusive reform .
The aim is to build a new law starting from five fundamental principles: a proportional system with the election of the President of the Region in the Regional Council, elimination of the split vote which favours clientelism, lowering of the thresholds for greater equity in political representation, rebalancing of the constituencies for better representation of the territories, a rule of equal democracy which leads to a composition of the Council in which each gender is represented in a measure not exceeding 50% .
In the line-up of movements, in addition to Sardinia calls Sardinia, there is space for, among others, Sinistra Futura, Sardegna possibile, Liberu, Rifondazione comunista, Potere al popolo, Progres, Sardigna Natzione, Autonomia e Ambiente, Usb, Confederazione sindacale sarda, Unigicom, Comitato Quartu No Tyrrhenian Link, Comitato Su Entu Nostru, Generazione Italie .
"The electoral law has distanced people from voting and has built rules of the game that exclude minorities and do not give voice to the vote of tens of thousands of Sardinians - explained Danilo Lampis of Sardegna Chiama Sardegna - for this reason a change is needed aiming for a law that represents the Sardinian people in their differences". In particular, " in 2024, about seventy thousand votes of Sardinians were lost who did not find representation within the Regional Council ". The reform process has an official start: on March 15 at 4 pm in Bauladu, at the "Emilio Lussu" Civic Cultural Center.
"It will be the first moment of discussion of this itinerant assembly - says Lampis - with which we aim to involve all of Sardinian society to re-discuss the rules of the game together with the forces inside and outside the Council". The end of this process is expected within the first half of the term of office: "We will arrive at a document that collects the synthesis of the proposals in which each of us takes a step back to reach a law that gives voice to the differences" .
