"Regrets? We feel a bit like Cassandras: we said that the failure to reconfirm the outgoing president would have put at risk a victory that was truly a foregone conclusion, as the 40 thousand more votes of the center-right lists demonstrated at the polls". This is how the president of the Psd'Az and former regional councilor for Transport, Antonio Moro, responded during the interview broadcast on Radiolina during the program "A tu per tu". The question was about the regional elections in February, lost by Paolo Truzzu against Alessandra Todde, after the coalition had decided not to confirm the candidacy of the outgoing president, the Sardinian Christian Solinas.

Moro distances himself from the center-right: " In light of recent events, perhaps we should have had the determination not to be influenced by the positions of the outgoing councilors," he reflects, "and find the strength to forge an alliance with the political forces that have placed themselves outside the Italian poles. We will have anticipated a political phase and a confrontation that for the Sardinians I believe is an unavoidable step."

Our thoughts immediately go to Renato Soru, who during the election campaign was a thorn in Todde's left side. There was talk of a negotiation between Sardinians and the former president: "There was more truth to it than what emerged. We should have made a synthesis with Soru and also told him that an all-Sardinian pole cannot have the barrier of an alliance, neither on the right nor on the left."
In practice, the politics of the two ovens? "We only feed the oven of the Psd'Az because we believe that it is the one that makes identity politics and the interests of the Sardinians rise", Moro claims, "others forge their careers today in one oven and tomorrow in another. Burning, in the bonfire of vanities, the votes that are needed to make the quotients to elect them".

In this context, three regional councilors seem to have moved, who, elected in the ranks of Psd'Az, have moved to Forza Italia. Moro does not name names, but says: "I am referring to those who use parties to build careers on the back of the honest and loyal militancy of many and to the system that sees political forces today, co-opting the lords of preferences to gain a few more percentage points in the elections".

And the relationship with Forza Italia? "No, I'm not angry. It favored the rebirth of the Psd'Az with the Sardinians and reopened the political field for us. The Forza Italia operation did not damage the Psd'Az but the entire center-right, which today has been reduced in Sardinia to the re-proposal of the Italian center-right model that has never won elections here. For us, however, that operation freed us from the constraint of coalition and from the obligation to be in opposition, giving us back political centrality and wide room for maneuver."

Psd'Az has its own position on renewables: "It is clear and firmly against the speculation underway in Sardinia. The Solinas Council, in July 2022, with the opposition of much of the left and some unions, is the only one to have filed a legal appeal against the Draghi decree, others instead, in addition to being in the Draghi government, did other things, even in notaries' offices".

And on Pratobello 24: «Recourse to the statutory competences in urban planning to stop the invasion and safeguard the environment and landscape in Sardinia is the element that cannot be ignored, but even before the technical legal reasons we maintain that the signatures of two hundred thousand Sardinians cannot be cancelled by anyone. Even less by those who have made click day the mantra of democratic participation».
