It was new, hadn't touched the water yet. And it will never be used. Bitter Christmas for the fishermen of the Marceddì Fishing Consortium, in the Terralba area. Late last night a boat belonging to the president of one of the cooperatives in Corru S'Ittiri caught fire. Antonio Loi, president of the Consortium that brings together around one hundred fishermen, reports the unfortunate incident, yet another in recent months. «It is yet another cowardly act against us - he commented this morning from the Marceddì fishpond where several fishermen gathered - It doesn't take much to understand that there is someone against us. In Corru S'Ittiri both the carabinieri and the police made an inspection. We can no longer go on like this. The boat was new. Ready to be used for octopus fishing. Instead nothing. This is major damage."

During 2022 the Consortium was the victim of many vandal raids. "For us - concludes Loi - there has never been a truce".
