Cagliari's new stadium: "The project needs to be revisited, too many risks for the municipality."
Giuseppe Farris, lawyer and leader of Civica 2024, said: "A 25,000-seat facility would be better. I disagree with the decision to build a hotel."Per restare aggiornato entra nel nostro canale Whatsapp
Memorandums filed with the City Council. Not a single line of the economic-financial plan has been overlooked. Numbers and clauses under scrutiny. Giuseppe Farris, the lawyer and leader of CiviCa 2024, continues to fight for the new Sant'Elia.
They signed her up to the anti-stadium party.
"I've said it in every way: I want the stadium. And in fact, I'm working hard to make the project a reality. But while safeguarding the community's interests."
Isn't it happening?
"Just look at the numbers. The procedure is flawed, however: the economic and financial plan still needs to be evaluated."
From whom?
"From the municipal offices. But in my opinion, the PEF presents obvious critical issues."
Explain it to us.
Meanwhile, the risks are borne by the grantor, the Municipality, and not the concessionaire, Cagliari Calcio. If, for example, the cost of raw materials increases during construction, the administration will be exposed to higher costs. It is expected that it will also issue guarantees to credit institutions.
Councilor Macciotta says there won't be any.
The public sector is investing much more in this project than is commonly believed. The project bond issued by SFIRS, the regional finance company, guarantees the proponent preferential, non-market interest rates. The loan is repaid not at fixed terms, as with a standard mortgage, but when cash flows are generated. All this shifts the risk from the private sector to the public sector. Furthermore, the municipality is waiving fifty years of TOSAP, the tax on the occupation of public land, on 100,000 square meters: the revenue loss will be enormous. Add to this the provisions the administration will have to make.
