The garrison of sa Barracca de su Padru against the Tyrrhenian Link, the contested electricity pipeline between Sardinia and Sicily, was evacuated in Selargius.

The area was surrounded by the Police , who marked off a large perimeter: all accesses were blocked to clear the area and seize material.

For months, a group of activists have been protesting against the expropriations, asking to save the olive trees that grow in the area where Terna's future electrical conversion station is due to be built.

The police are executing a preventive seizure ordered by Judge Michele Conti at the request of the prosecutor Emanuele Secci, who opened a file arising from a complaint by Terna regarding the occupation of the land. The crimes contested, prosecutable by the court, are complicity in invasion of land, private violence and damage. About ten people are under investigation , all of whom have appointed Giulia Lai as their defense attorney.

A Terna bulldozer is in action to remove the trees and workers are erecting a fence.

Also on site were Giulia Lai and Michele Zuddas , reference lawyers for the groups and committees against energy speculation. It seems that the activists decided to leave the picket line peacefully to avoid tensions.
