Passive resistance with a small battle won by Matteo Pedditzi, a farmer who this morning climbed onto a drill engaged in an intervention in the Selargius countryside for the Tyrrhenian Link, blocked the activities and forced the company's employees to take it away.

"If your work kills me, because it takes away my job, what should I do?", he said, addressing the employees of the contracting company. " I have nothing against you," he added, speaking to the workers, "but you have to go. Go dig somewhere else."

The scene took place in front of other demonstrators and under the watchful gaze of the carabinieri, who this morning patrolled the entire area in view of some expropriations linked to the construction of the exchange station, the final destination of the large Terna cable which passing over the bottom of the sea will connect Sicily to Sardinia: an infrastructure, for a total investment of 1.9 billion, which will serve - in the end - to export to the Peninsula the electricity produced by wind and photovoltaic systems that are to be installed throughout the territory Sardinian.

The workers spoke with Pedditzi. Eventually they loaded the drill onto a truck and moved it. Small victory for the committee, which is waging a war against the invasion in the name of renewable energy and decarbonisation.
