On October 5, the Sardinians are called to vote on three referendum questions. The first two questions have to object to the repeal of two articles of the law establishing the regional water service. More specifically, the first question seeks the abolition of the territorial one, coinciding with the region. The objective is to establish eight provincial territories in order to differentiate the service and reduce costs for users.
The second one aims to eliminate the single charge that has also resulted in increases of 200% bills.
The third question concerns the repeal of the so-called "save-coast" on the basis of which it was adopted the Regional Landscape Plan and has provided, on a transitional basis, a number of provisions including the prohibition of indiscriminate building within two km from the coast.
Youth Action is in favor of the "Yes" to all three questions. The basis of our choice is the firm belief that the environment and humans are inextricably linked, as both part of the living. Between man and nature, there must be a ratio of organic and non-instrumentality. Development at all costs has led, in fact, to regard the environment as a mere factor of production, and on the same plan is also to ask those who conceive the environment as a museum exhibit, to be closed in a display case, making the made impenetrable to man.
In contrast to the man we should not assume neither the owner nor the role of mere "collector" of Nature. The right solution must be sought in a new relationship between communities and territories, in which the environment is combined with the natural human activity.
This is the meaning of the slogan "Reuniting the Community to the territories and territories with the Community."
The road to this goal hinges on the repeal of the Regional Landscape Plan.
As regards the first two questions, our idea is that water, as well primary and fundamental to life, can not and should not be the subject of business activities, more so if conducted by private parties. For this reason, it needs to be managed by the public sector and this that the citizen must be the management body may not, under any circumstances, exceed the costs of managing the service. In addition, the relocation of management can only lead to a reduction of the bills and improved service. Previous experience with Abbanoa proves it.
