«I prefer a day off to a day of mourning in the city» .
On the day of the controversy alert , Massimo Zedda defends his decision to double-lock Cagliari by closing schools, universities, parks and cemeteries.
The mayor of Cagliari, the subject of several memes on social media, explains: «We discussed at length during the Coc. There was a red pre-alert, but only at dawn would they have given us an indication of a change from orange to red and there would not have been time to set up safety procedures. I remember that this summer Pirri went under water with the green alert. And Valencia teaches us, these phenomena should not be underestimated. Better a day of vacation than a day of mourning in the city ».
The mayor of Quartu Graziano Milia , who has not closed the schools, raises a fundamental problem: «The red alert is among the operators for the legal consequences in case of damages or victims. This terror induces a subtle game of passing the buck through which all the responsibilities are poured onto the mayors , even using ambiguous and unclear expressions in official press releases. But a society that closes schools for two drops of water is a sick society ».
