«Since I put up the first poster for an electoral campaign - I don't remember if I attended high school or university - the first thing that was explained to me by those who were a few years older was that you always need to have glue ready to replace the posters that are torn or messed up every day."

Francesco Agus, regional councilor of the Progressives, intervenes on the case of the defaced posters of the mayoral candidate of Cagliari Alessandra Zedda.

«It is a nuisance for those who suffer it, of course – he says – and it is also an unpleasant and extremely rude gesture on the part of those who carry it out. However, seeing something different in it means being gripped by conspiracy theories. I therefore advise my colleague Sorgia to abandon the attempt to exacerbate a competition that up until now has had other tones and other arguments ."

The reference is to the words of the former municipal councilor for Productive Activities Alessandro Sorgia : «We do not want to believe that there are instigators behind this unacceptable disfigurement, but certainly an act like this deserves full condemnation towards those who were responsible and who, in some way, hides with cowardice."

«The misunderstanding of the centre-right's sense of legality is worrying – continues Agus – I say this because in his search for solidarity, the exponent of the same party as the candidate for mayor, Salvini's Northern League, has omitted a detail which is not exactly secondary: those scribbled they were abusive posters. Because in clear contrast with the regulations and with the legislation which, in addition to being quite clear, has been the same for decades and prohibits "exchanges and transfers of spaces of the surfaces assigned between lists" as well as mandatorily fixing the dimensions of the posters . 70x100 cm, in this case, cannot be replaced in any case with posters of several meters displayed, without interruption, in spaces of different lists ".

« The Cagliari and Sardinian right has the habit of bending the rules at its discretion – concludes Agus – The last 5 years in government of the region and the city have demonstrated this and they also demonstrate it with this “epic fail”. Fortunately they will no longer have the opportunity to cause damage in the city."
