The Sardegna Vera list was officially presented in the conference room of the Porto Torres Port Museum about twenty days before the June 7 and 8 elections, bringing together a broad alliance inside the Sardinian Identity Center. The coalition also unites Sardegna al Centro 2020 and the Sardinian Action Party led by mayoral candidate Sara Dettori.
The list includes 14 candidates drawn from current and former administrators, professionals and young talents, with the group saying its political proposal is built around protecting local identity and putting citizens back at the center of political debate. Former Prime Minister Carlo Cossu is the coordinator, while Michele Bassu is the outgoing city councilor. Marco Ballisai, Giada Solinas, Antonio Giordo, Francesca Cugurullo and Mosè Braghin outlined the program’s priorities, which focus on social policies, trade, youth policies and cultural policies.
Among those on the list are Sara Paola Chen, also known as Sara, Alessandra Leoni, Pietro Appicela, Giuliana Pitzanti, Nadia Fattacciu, Chiara Loi and Daniele Zirulia. Their names were presented as part of a campaign effort aimed at showing breadth inside the identitarian camp and giving the coalition a visible team ahead of the vote.
Dettori framed the evening as proof of public demand for political change in Porto Torres. “Tonight's extraordinary public response demonstrates that Porto Torres is demanding change—a change that is genuine, proud, and rooted in the values of our land,” she said. She added that the Sardegna Vera list and the wider Polo Identitario coalition were bringing “expertise, passion, and a concrete program” to restore the city to “its rightful leading role in the landscape of northern Sardinia.”
The presentation was an election campaign moment, but it also showed the coalition’s strategy: to fold different identitarian currents into one list and present a common message before voters go to the polls. With the June 7 and 8 vote approaching, the test for the Sardegna Vera camp is whether that message can turn a crowded room in Porto Torres into votes at the ballot box.
