Cagliari, beatings and violence at the Navy: «More security or we will take justice into our own hands»
The restaurateur: «Two North Africans fought among the customers and ended up on the tables. Neighborhood invaded by drunk kids. So every evening, no one intervenes. Thats enough"«Hostages of these do-nothings. Every day of the week. You have to take care of security at the Navy. Or we will take justice into our own hands."
Claudio Mura is the owner of Antica Hostaria, a historic Cagliari restaurant in the neighborhood close to the port. From Via Cavour he entrusts his angry tirade to social media to denounce the latest episode of violence involving his business: «The customers were eating outside when two North Africans started fighting. While they were giving it to each other, they ended up on a table, they destroyed the glasses and an umbrella."
"Cursed" and "negligent", defines them the entrepreneur, who says he is exasperated. Because what happened on Saturday night, he claims, is not an isolated episode. "The police arrived, they didn't even take the complaint, because nothing would have changed anyway, they would have freed them immediately." Mura continues: «While they were there, another one of them arrived, drunk, and ended up in the police car». And a few minutes later, when tempers were still heated, «here is another one, who passes by a table in front of me and steals an ashtray. I kindly made him return it", says the restaurateur, showing a grimace that suggests the opposite.
Mura is not afraid of being branded as "racist": «Here they must respect our rules», he continues, «if the Municipality does not guarantee safety, these gentlemen should know that their freedom ends where mine begins. And I will defend it with sticks."
An outburst, that of Mura, which comes from a neighborhood where tensions, especially at weekends, are continuous. Gangs of kids "who wander around drunk at all hours" also end up under accusation. The same ones that provoke protests from the residents of the historic center, gathered in committees and increasingly aggressive.
Only a few evenings ago one of them had to intervene to chase away an accordion player who was blasting notes from an amplifier, while asking for money among customers of other commercial activities.
