The sun – almost a taste of spring, twenty degrees at lunchtime – seems like a blessing on the Sunday of reconstruction. In Su Pardu, in the countryside of Selargius, where the electrical corridor of the Tyrrhenian link will become a double station, they have been working since morning to put back on their feet the shack that burned in recent days . "It's our anti-cable garrison", even if the expropriations, or the sales of the land, are now almost all closed games. Translated into a timetable, it means that the start of the work is ever closer. "But the civic and civil resistance, no, it doesn't stop".

The story of the Tyrrhenian link no longer needs any introduction, for a while now. The double cable will connect Sardinia and Sicily and then reach Campania. It is 970 kilometers in total, between the western front that from Terra Mala, in the municipality of Quartu, will reach Fiumetorto, in Termini Imerese. Then from there to Torre Tuscia Magazzeno, in the province of Salerno. Terna says that "it is a strategic infrastructure, an enabling factor for the energy transition and for decarbonization". For the "No Tyrrhenian link" committee , however, it is only "devastation of the territory". Who, in recent days, tried to destroy the shack with fire, is not given to know. "We will rebuild it", has been repeated in Su Pardu since the morning, when the work begins with the holes to beach the wooden structure on the ground. Before sunset, the bulk of it is done. With the flag of the Four Moors in full view.

Paolo Loddo , of the Parteolla Committee , is in Selargius "as a sign of solidarity. It is clear - he says - that all these operations, from the cable to the assault on renewables, are just energy speculation, Sardinia is under attack". Ivan Monni, of the "No Tyrrhenian link" Committee , doesn't think differently: "This work should not be built here or anywhere else in Sardinia. Imagine this plain devastated by two stations, one for distribution and the other for accumulation and transformation. Four twenty-meter buildings will be built, plus two smaller ones". Rita Corda adds: "The problem is that politics has moved badly: there is no more time for appeals, they are just decoys. The opposition to the authorization process should have been made some time ago. Instead, it appears that the Municipalities of Selargius and Quartu approved the agreements with Terna almost like a blank cheque, before the company approved the final project, in September 2023". But for the mayors of the two towns, Gigi Contu and Graziano Milia, " everything is in order ."
