At the FASI congress, scheduled for Thursday through Sunday in Alghero, all delegates will be able to vote . Thus, following the intervention of Labor Councilor Desirè Manca (responsible for the Federation of Sardinian Emigrants in Italy), Bastianino Mossa, outgoing FASI president, has failed to implement his plan to rewrite the Statute and the implementing and congress regulations. These changes would have allowed him to secure a second presidential election after the first in 2021, being chosen solely by the club presidents. Currently, there are 68, for a total of over 270 voters, given that each club, according to the current rules, casts four votes.

The proposal immediately sparked controversy within the Sardinian emigrants' association. A few days ago, Sara Nicole Cancedda and Rita Danila Murgia sent a letter of complaint, also forwarded to President Alessandra Todde, Councilor Desirè Manca, the Executive Committee, and the Council, in which they spoke of " worrying and unexpected proposals to amend the Statute that would seriously undermine the participation of young people and women in the democratic life of the Federation ." This internal conflict, detailed in two pages, was aimed at defending the right to vote: at FASI, women and young people, who increasingly represent the backbone of emigration, were at risk of losing it. To put it in the law of numbers, in each of the sixty-eight districts that make up the Federation, one woman and one young person represent two of the four electors called to choose the president at the congress.
