G. Bolacchi, Un'autonomia in regime di dipendenza, in: P. Savona (a cura di), Per un'altra Sardegna, Franco Angeli, Milano, 1984

«The situation in Sardinia from 1944 (establishment of the regional constituency) to 1949 (election of the first regional council) is a historical example of how political élites behave in the management of power and a historical example of the disconnect between the political class that holds power and the remaining part of the community that engages in a pure political behavior of acceptance, delegation, and legitimation with respect to the power élite. […] The ruling classes of the time, particularly the political class participating in the regional constituency, were in the best possible conditions to exert a pedagogical and leading role apropos of the historical idea of autonomy. It could have allowed the Sardinian people (negatively conditioned by centuries of subjugation) to acquire a real autonomist awareness, namely to establish the principle of autonomy, in its historical dimension, as the founding principle of all political action in Sardinia. Two factors prevented the political class from realizing this leading role: ideology and dependence.»

«The state-region relation was conceived in asymmetrical terms, as pure and simple dependence. The relation prefigured, on the one hand, accepting a subsuming and all-encompassing state; on the other hand, granting an administrative and political space completely irrelevant to the state and the relation with the state. It was an unequal exchange, which placed the region in a situation of marked inferiority. Given the institutional conditions that characterized this situation, the latter was bound to a dialectic relation carried out only through more or less resolute forms of financial claims thrust.» IT
