"We have undertaken this action is to political level that on the jurisdictional plan - it has emphasized - and we will continue until the final result: that to restore the rules of the free market and giving to flood effettivity to the right to mobility of the Sardinians, than cannot be questioned in the name of private economic interests and of situation rents that nothing have something to do with the interests of the collectivity".

Al moment is the only four in all Europe procedures subordinates to the EU commission arrived to the second phase, that of the deepening, to confirmation of as is not simple to arrive to us. We have demonstrated, also thanks to the dossiers managed from the associations of the consumers, than the agreement between the three companies it would have generated a monopoly on the seas, with the green light of the national government, strongly oriented towards network CIN".

"The true objective - it has found Solinas - is that to succeed to find a balance point that allows with the Region to govern the system of the marine transports, defining broken, quality of the services and rates, getting ahead a battle of people in order to ask for definitively the attempt of stuffed captive in house ours".
