The Italian government has confirmed that the new Rwm war plant in Domusnovas, Sardinia, is now fully operational. This announcement marks the resolution of an intense conflict between local environmental and pacifist movements, which were supported by the regional government led by Alessandra Todde, and the demands for enhancing one of Europe's most significant aircraft bomb production facilities. The conflicting interests stem from the desire to boost military capabilities versus the need to protect the local environment and community values.

The dispute highlighted deep divisions within Sardinian society, with proponents of the bomb factory arguing that increased military production could bring economic benefits and job creation, while opponents raised serious concerns about the environmental impact and moral implications of producing weapons. The factory, which is seen as a key site for Italy's defense industry, plays a crucial role in the wider context of Europe’s military facilitation, especially in light of recent geopolitical tensions.

This decision not only solidifies the factory's role in the arms manufacturing sector but also poses questions about the future of environmental and social activism in Sardinia. As the regional government appears to have sided with economic development over environmental protection, it may ignite further debates and protests regarding military production, environmental sustainability, and the community's right to influence such significant local developments.
