The regionally appointed civilian members of Comipa, the Joint Committee for Military Easements in Sardinia, have sent a request for clarification to Defense Minister Guido Crosetto and Comipa Sardinia President General Scanu regarding the Navy's exercises in the La Maddalena archipelago, scheduled for June 15 to July 5, 2026 , during the height of the tourist season and in apparent violation, they write, of the memoranda of understanding signed between the Ministry of Defense and the Sardinia Region.

The question harshly highlights "the failure to inform the committee about these exercises, highlighting that this is the place designated to analyze issues related to military easements, environmental protection, and the planning of training activities."

The document cites rules and regulations that appear to be violated. The finger is pointed at the decision to conduct these exercises in the La Maddalena archipelago —an area of exceptional environmental, scenic, touristic, and strategic value—"precisely at the peak of tourist and yachting influx, with potential impacts on navigation, safety, accessibility of marine areas, and tourism enjoyment of the area."
