In Sardinia, several regional issues have emerged. In Narbolia, a legal impasse persists regarding a closed five-star resort in the Is Arenas pine forest, where the company Reinvest seeks to launch a 100-million-euro project despite municipal claims that existing agreements are outdated.

Safety concerns have also risen on the Is Arenas coastline following the drowning of a 47-year-old German tourist, marking the third such incident in the Narbolia area within 50 days. This has drawn attention to dangerous local currents and the absence of lifeguard services during certain periods.

In Olbia, Mayor Settimo Nizzi is responding to local crime and violent incidents by planning a specialized unit within the local police force. The administration is also focusing on addressing illegal housing and unregistered rentals to improve urban safety and decorum.

Further regional development has been announced for the Baccasara industrial area, where 21.3 million euros have been allocated for redevelopment. This funding is intended to target the local nautical district and various research centers.
