The rebirth of Fornaci Picci in 2026, the completion of Poetto, the newly restyled Palasport, 53 kilometers of asphalt paving and the goal of the university center in place of Distillerie Capra. Mayor Graziano Milia draws up a four-year balance sheet for the city government, with an eye on the 2026 Administrative Elections. Without excluding a possible re-candidacy.

What kind of city did Quartu find and what kind of city will it leave in 2026?

"I found a suffering city, with an administrative activity weakened over the years, apart from the Ruggeri parenthesis. Instead, I will leave a Quartu where a profound change has begun."

Some examples.

"The budget is always approved on time, we have improved the spending capacity of the available resources. There has been a recovery of cultural activity, many projects, works in progress such as those at Poetto and others concluded, among all those at the Palasport, together with the 53 kilometers of new asphalt. With taxes that have not undergone increases, unlike other municipalities. The city is changing, the Quartu residents and the many private individuals interested in investing in Quartu can perceive it".

When will we see the Fornaci reborn?

«The work must be completed by 2026. The remediation has begun and in recent weeks there has been a significant acceleration in the process».

And the Capra distilleries?

"We have the certainty of the 6 million from the Development and Cohesion Fund and a collaboration with the University of Cagliari already underway. In the first days of 2025 we will decide which path to follow, I think we will proceed in batches. It will be a hub for research and innovation that, together with the student house on Via Cilea, will attract new presences to the city".

We are also waiting for the safety of the 554.

"We managed to save the funds and the expropriations were done. We are ready, it is the company that must tell us if it wants to do the work otherwise we will look for another. In any case it will be resolved quickly".

Satisfied with the results for Flumini?

"Sewerage and water networks were the priorities, and it is precisely on these that we are achieving significant results. We have also managed to assign the tasks for the remediation plans, in addition to bringing a series of services that were missing."

The center-right says that there are many unfinished public works.

"They are wrong because there will be none unfinished. But I am happy they say it, because if this is their campaign figure I doubt they will be able to win the elections."

Will he seek a fourth term as mayor?

"There will be a discussion to be had, I think by the end of next spring, to establish whether my presence is necessary. If necessary, I will not back down, but I always hope that a new political generation will come and chase me away."

Are there political forces that are asking him to do so?

"Yes".

Which?

«It doesn't seem right to me at this time to make simple exchanges of opinions public».

How are the relations with the Democratic Party?

"Good, as they are with many other political forces. I was among the founders of the party, my history is there and it still is beyond the administration of Quartu."

Is the political model to be carried forward always the civic one?

"Certain".

Open dialogue also with the centrist moderates?

«Yes, but for them there is the same rule that applies to everyone: act within the perimeter of the civic spirit built in 2020».
