Sardinia leader wants to close US nuclear sub base
The top politician on the Italian island of Sardinia, computer tycoon Renato Soru, wants the United States to close its nuclear submarine base there for environmental reasons.
Soru, the left-leaning founder of major European Internet service provider Tiscali, said the island “had done its bit” by hosting the base for 32 years but it was time for it to close.
“I say this in a friendly way: the moment has come when it’s necessary for the Americans to abandon their nuclear submarine base,” the la Repubblica newspaper quoted Soru, now president of the island’s regional government, as saying.
The base at Maddalena on the island which lies off Italy’s western coast was established under a bilateral agreement with the United States so the regional government could not close it on its own, an Italian government source said.
