A few words with silences calibrated, but with the tear of personal considerations. Renato Soru inserts the sentence of three-year sentence for tax evasion in “a serious moment of life.” unjust sentence – he says – he did not expect. Hopefully it overturned, but meanwhile will reflect on the resignation. Two assignments until this morning: MEP Pd (with record Preferences but also absent in Brussels) and secretary of the party in Sardinia with the last months of feuds three three currents. But then the leadership post of the local party has already left him, immediately after the judgment.
Class 1957, successful entrepreneur, one of the Scrooge of Italy, brusque and manor attitude (say those in the know) before the politician was Internet pioneer and patron of Tiscali , which has become one of the leading European providers. Tax evasion dispute revolves around a triangulation with a company name in Sardinian identity Andalas and the capital two pounds, with headquarters in London: an “internal” loan, which were not paid taxes. But on which Soru is already paying with a agreed tax . Also why his lawyers speak of “singular judgment” facts “that the same financial offices were interpreted differently, considering them non-existent”. Before another court case on custody of an institutional advertising campaign ended with acquittal . And a sentence to loss of revenue from the Court of Auditors . Both related to its presidency of the Region, 2004 to 2008.
His ambitions, including political, over the years have gone beyond the borders and that the islanders have guaranteed estimate perhaps more in what they call “the mainland” that in his land. Training Bocconi , little drawing-room – although a member of the National Democratic Party machine – almost monastic , but still present. Since his return to the island starting the career of the Middle Campidano, Sanluri its base: before the market buying and selling, then the “discovery” of the Network. Characters from the broad interests and strong contradictions became editor of ‘ unit in liquidation, of which then sold its shares in 2012. Inspiring shade even in projects of excellence in other areas such as Shardna (search genetics of Sardinia).
visionary : thanks to him Sardinia at the turn of the 2000s has become the cradle of the digital revolution . By buying Videonline and the departure of two unlikely places, apparently, for the new economy: the Sardinia and the current Czech Republic in partnership with another entrepreneur in his own way histrionic and innovative, like Niki Grauso . Only later comes the birth of Tiscali, in 1997, that still gives a nod to the interior of Sardinia. And ‘the name of a nuragic village built inside a cave in the Nuoro: impervious but imperishable. From there the listing on the Stock Exchange and success will come only after the first economic shadows and even the conflict of interest.
Everything revolves around the candidacy for president of the region: win and will be in office from 2004 to 2008 with Sardinia Project , the center with a pinch of autonomismo (the symbol is a plant of a nuragic). Formally depart from his company to come back in 2009. Ideas and scenarios that go beyond Sardinia: his project Master & amp; Back in support of excellence from youth to study and train in Europe or in Italian cities: powers to exploit the island. It realized only in part, because many are not turned back.
Especially Soru imposes its vision “environmentalist” against speculation coasts . Different idea of Sardinia, not only bathing and the consumption of VIP tourists (among all Briatore) who finds his forte in the “luxury tax” for yachts and regional landscape plan : the construction limits on the coast and even in the countryside, protection of historic centers that cost in the long run the consensus – also – internal. And at the end of term arrive in fact resign on new planning law under discussion in the Council. A few months later fail to beat the rival center-right Ugo Cappellacci , for his election campaign, he had received the blessing Berlusconi with a lot of frequent incursions by his side .
But also on the side of the defense of the coastline, in such a sensitive area and territory, as the Sardinian no shortage of contradictions. Like the Project Funtanazza , on the south west coast: the recent ok to redevelopment of the former colony looming on the beach (owned by the family Soru) kicks off recent political controversy on the protection of beaches and their entrepreneurial enhancement. To many it does turn up their noses at his villa Villasimius , then put up for sale.
But the political success to the European had partly reaffirmed its formal weight but distant, within the Sardinian Pd: up to resign. His guide was already undermined by the fighting, already present before his inauguration. A party wear and tear from the If Barracciu (which had supported in the primaries) and the back dictation from Rome – even with approval of Soru – in front of the notice of guarantee for embezzlement. With the eternal constant of the matter. “Moral”
