History

The movement was founded in 2012 with the aim of establishing a free zone regime in the territory of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia. Its founders were the lawyers Maria Rosaria Randaccio, Paolo Aureli and Francesco Scifo.

In the 2014 regional election, the movement took part in the centre-right coalition in support of the candidacy of the outgoing president Ugo Cappellacci, obtaining 1.6% of the vote and one seat, [1] won by Modesto Fenu. [2] However, in 2015, the Council of State declared Fenu lapsed from the charge along with three other regional councilors. [3]

In 2018, Paolo Aureli and Francesco Scifo, respectively outgoing vice president and secretary of the movement, announced their adhesion to the list "Free Sardinians", headed by Mauro Pili, on the occasion of the 2019 regional election. [4]

In the same election, Randaccio, remained president of the movement, was a candidate among the ranks of Forza Italia in the constituency of Cagliari, [5] but without being elected.

A few months later, Randaccio is still a candidate on the Forza Italia list in the municipal elections of Cagliari on June 16, in support of Paolo Truzzu's candidacy for mayor. [6] However, even on this occasion she was not elected.
