La Maddalena, preventive refusal of the National Park to the San Giovanni trek: the council minorities intervene

«The modus operandi of the Park continues to disorientate which, on the one hand is so meticulously nitpicking towards the initiatives of the residents and, on the other, it does not see entire groups coming from the hotels on the coast who invade Caprera and La Maddalena every day for trekking, walks, mountain bike excursions, without this disturbing them in the slightest».
