Asinara, park appointments at a standstill: "All we have left to do is occupy the island"

Appointments that fall through, internal clashes in the search for figures capable of covering at least the temporary role of extraordinary commissioner of the Asinara National Park. An extraordinary case compared to the La Maddalena National Park and the Geominerario Park waiting for a guide. In four days Asinara will also be without its director, whose term expires on February 11. "I will wait until that date, in the hope that tomorrow the appointment of the park commissioner will arrive, even if I am not convinced, otherwise the only action we have left to do is to occupy the island, I would say "armed" this time, because the symbolic occupation of the laid-off workers has served no purpose". Words that sound like a provocation, those uttered by the mayor Massimo Mulas in his speech in the city council.

The challenge has also been taken up by Bastianino Spanu, who from the opposition benches is calling for the island to be occupied indefinitely. " There is no single political color to be held responsible, but for a long time no one has taken care of the governance of the Asinara park ," adds the mayor. "I don't understand how in almost ten years a president has never been elected," he continues, "and yet one of the innate abilities that politics possesses, in which it usually excels, is that of finding a seat to place someone. It means that in this case the seat evidently has some drawbacks that make it difficult to sit on." The procedure for the nomination of the president has not even been started. There is no news on the list of three names that the ministry should submit to the presidency of the Sardinia Region.

The Minister for the Environment, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, has also withdrawn the decree appointing the commissioners of the national parks, and the Maddalena biologist Gianluca Mureddu, a member of the Brothers of Italy party, is now out of the running. Michele Ennas, regional secretary of the League, has also been excluded from the ministerial appointment for the Geominerario park . "I have reached the point of keeping quiet until the most difficult moment arrives," the mayor continues. "Yes, because the serious problem is that I am also losing my director and there is a risk that everything will fall through: the budget forecast to be approved, the activities of the operators who must plan the next tourist season," Mulas emphasizes.

About 350 concessions to renew, documents to sign that only a legal representative can sign . "We will try to continue to push for an end to this martyrdom", Mulas specifies, "even with a commissioner who comes from any part of Sardinia, since the person in charge of managing emergencies is the Municipality of Porto Torres".
