Alessandra Zedda left her posts as vice president of the council and councilor for work this morning . The earthquake shakes the Executive that the President of the Region Christian Solinas had intended to reset just this week, finally implementing the reshuffle officially announced at the end of March.
Zedda's resignation is significant : the blue has always been considered, by the majority and the opposition, among the most authoritative and most active exponents in Solinas's team. For the moment there are no official reasons . The decision would in any case be the result of an "individual choice", dictated by the will of the Zedda to re-enter the Sardinian Assembly and contribute to relaunching the action in her capacity as regional councilor. The exponent of Forza Italia would also be tired of the stalemate that characterizes the action of the Giunta . Who, at this point, will have to continue working without her. It is not even a mystery that Zedda aims to be a presidential candidate for the 2024 regional elections . But, he would have clarified in these hours, his eventual race will have to be legitimized by the parties.
Now Solinas will be forced to accelerate on the verification front because the uncovered boxes have become three: the Work, the Transports of which he has the interim since September (from the resignation of the former Northern League player Giorgio Todde) and the Environment that soon Gianni Lampis ( FdI) will leave in order to be a full-time deputy. The cancellation of the Executive and subsequent appointment of new councilors are expected within the week. But Alessandra Zedda's decisions may have made the closing of the circle imminent.
THE MESSAGE - "Dear President, dear colleagues, in these three years I have been by your side above all with passion and dedication, now by individual choice my commitment will be in the Chamber, always at your side. I hope my individual choice will strengthen our commitment to Sardinia and the Sardinians. A big hug and thanks to all of you ". It is not the letter of resignation as vice-president and councilor for Labor, but a message that Alessandra Zedda transmitted in the chat of the council after deciding to leave her posts. The content of the letter is not yet known but, according to what transpires, the conduct of the meetings of the council not in the presence and with many topics left blank would be among the reasons for his choice to resign.
REACTIONS - A majority meeting immediately. This was asked by Franco Mula , leader of the PSd'Az in the regional council , after the resignation of the vice-president of the council Alessandra Zedda. " A news that we did not expect and that opens a serious reflection for the resignation of the vice president of the council and of a very exposed and highly experienced councilor - comments Mula - now, what comes naturally to me is to ask for a meeting and a verification of majority as soon as possible. It is unthinkable to continue in this way. We need to understand the future of this majority and, if there is a future, how we have to go forward ”.
"The resignation of Vice President Zedda shows that the majority no longer exists". This was declared by the leader of the Progressives in the Regional Council , Francesco Agus , who speaks of a "term that has been over for months, perhaps since last year".
"The news is a bolt from the blue", the words in a note of the Pd group in the Regional Council . Sardinia decides, officially for personal reasons, to abandon Christian Solinas to his fate. He does so with a confidential communication and he does so more than a month and a half after the umpteenth announcement by the president of the council reshuffle. Whatever the reasons, to us It is important to underline that if the rumor leaked also in the press about his dissatisfaction with the work of the Executive and the President is true, this seems to be out of time given the diligence with which he replaced and justified his president. "" Solinas acknowledges the disaster and follows his vice president, resigning for the good of Sardinia, "the conclusion.
"The resignation of Vice President Zedda certifies, if ever it were needed, that the crisis of the Solinas Council has taken on the evident aspect of agony", the words of the deputy Pd Silvio Lai . “Solinas has failed. Take note of this as quickly as possible. We will expect a jolt of dignity but we know that unfortunately it will not come and that we will continue to sail having a captain at the head of the ship in disarray who on several occasions has proved inadequate and who now has a mutiny crew ".
