After the go-ahead from the Senate, the Bill on the recognition of the principle of insularity in the Constitution travels to the Chamber for the second reading. Another step to establish the importance of the battle of the Sardinians and the islands within the fundamental Charter.
COSSA - According to a study carried out by the Bruno Leoni Institute, underlines Michele Cossa (Riformatori), exponent of the Committee, "the per capita cost of insularity is approximately 5,700 euros: approximately 9 billion euros a year compared to a Regional GDP of about 20 billion euros ".
“Getting such strong attention from Parliament was a result in some ways unexpected - continues Cossa -. What we collect today is the fruit of the commitment and the will to have a concrete and positive impact on the future of the Sardinians. Today we can mark another historical date on the calendar that projects us into the future ”. "Fully understanding the effects that the bill will produce is the first step to guarantee equal opportunities between Sardinians and the rest of the citizens - he adds - and we can finally say that even the most skeptical have understood the importance for the Islands, Sardinia in first and foremost, to restore balance, equity and justice to the Constitution. The deadline we had set ourselves, reaching the approval of the Bill by the end of the Legislature is getting closer and closer ”.
SOLINAS - "The Parliament today gave further testimony that it understood the need for Sardinia to see the permanent disadvantages deriving from its island condition recognized", comments Governor Christian Solinas. Who adds: "A result that takes on an even deeper meaning to eve of the day of the pride of the Sardinian people, Sa Die. Today we can feel ever closer the recognition of those rights denied for too long, which are reflected in an evident and dramatic way on transport, on the isolation and depopulation of the territories, on the lack of infrastructures, on socio-economic development and on the lack of the network system in general ".
