Political orientation
Politically, the L'Unione Sarda was traditionally a center-oriented newspaper. In recent years, however, since the purchase by Sergio Zuncheddu, there has been a rapprochement with the political center-right movement and the PDL .
She is known for having campaigned against Renato Soru . The cause of these attacks on Soru and its operations in the area could, according to some, be in real estate deals.
Soru had prevented a real estate project along the Villasismius coast and other construction projects in Cagliari with the “Salva Coste” ( Save Coasts ) law . He is also said to have prevented the public purchase of properties that had been built by Zuncheddu.
