It's not a state secret, but something very close. Accessing the documents of the Tyrrhenian Link, as well as other wind farm projects like the Mistral project in Alghero, appears to be difficult: the contents have actually been classified. The Gallura Committee for the Defense of Sardinia, which had requested access, was left with nothing, and the only option, which has not yet borne fruit, was to issue a formal notice . As for the Tyrrhenian Link, the documents have not been classified, but it is difficult to access, especially the more in-depth technical studies.

The consultation

This applies, therefore, to all projects that committees or associations have set their sights on. Reports of difficulties in accessing documents are commonplace. The latest, on Tyrrhenian Link, comes from Fulvio Nessi, a citizen of Sinnai, who wrote to L'Unione Sarda to inform everyone about the difficulties in finding technical documents.

The letter

"Terna's website does not provide complete technical documents, limiting itself to general information and press releases," writes Nessi. "The public notice boards of the affected municipalities, including Sinnai, Quartu, and others, often publish only administrative notices, without attaching technical documentation. In some cases, search systems don't work or don't index the documents correctly. In other locations, the documents are incomplete, difficult to locate, or no longer accessible. The result is that citizens, even those wishing to exercise their right to information, are unable to view the documents essential to understanding the project's impact on the local area, the environment, and private property. I believe this situation conflicts with the principles of transparency and participation that should accompany public works of this magnitude. A strategic infrastructure like the Tyrrhenian Link cannot proceed without the population having clear and complete access to the documents relating to it," Nessi concludes. "Their right to be informed and understand what is happening in their local area is also being undermined."
