Sardinian municipalities excluded from urban regeneration projects, the case ends in Parliament
Question by the deputy Francesca Ghirra (Green Left Alliance): "Investments essential to mitigate the problems of our small municipalities"
The exclusion of Sardinian municipalities from investments in urban regeneration projects ends in Parliament .
Francesca Ghirra , deputy of the Green Left Alliance, presented a question to the Ministers of the Interior and for the South "to understand if it is possible to integrate the funds destined for urban regeneration projects and if they do not consider it appropriate to change the evaluation criteria " which penalize Sardinia.
"With the 2022 Finance Act - explains Ghirra - 300 million euros have been allocated to encourage investments in urban regeneration projects aimed at reducing phenomena of marginalization, social degradation, improving the quality of urban decor and the social and environmental fabric . On October 19, 2022, the beneficiaries of the grant were disclosed and, with great surprise, it was learned that there is no Sardinian municipality . "
"The president of Anci Sardinia - continues the progressive Sardinian parliamentarian - sent a letter to the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Minister for the South, the President of Anci, expressing bewilderment, disappointment and indignation in relation to the complete exclusion of Sardinian municipalities from the list of beneficiaries of the grant. "
"In Sardinia - specifies Ghirra - 361 out of 377 municipalities, or 97.6%, have a population of less than 15,000 inhabitants. Of these, 350 have applied for funding through aggregations of municipalities, demonstrating an extraordinary planning and initiative capacity ".
"The seriousness of the data relating to depopulation and isolation of the Sardinian territories is under the eyes of all", the deputy stresses, "urban regeneration projects are an indispensable tool to mitigate the problems of our small municipalities".
