"Funds to municipalities are not being cut, services provided to towns and citizens are being cut, the productive economic fabric of communities is being impoverished."

Even the new mayor of Cagliari Massimo Zedda lashes out against the decision, announced over a month ago and confirmed in a communication from the Ministry of the Interior, to apply the spending review provided for by the budget law to municipal administrations.

A position taken by the mayor of Cagliari, which comes after that of Anci Sardegna .

«Each Municipality will have to understand which essential services to make cuts on - highlights Zedda -, two million less for the Municipality of Cagliari means not being able to close the budgets: we have gone from 1,400 employees in 2011 to just over 1,000 today, without counting the retirements of 2024".

The alarm raised by the mayor also concerns "the impossibility for administrations to use European resources and the same Pnrr funds", on which the criteria for the Meloni executive's cut were based. The mayor of Cagliari, a leading exponent of the Progressives, broadens the field and goes beyond political affiliation: «This situation concerns everyone, and being of vital importance for the provision of essential services to citizens, regardless of color political, we should demonstrate to the government that these cuts are absolutely not bearable for the municipal system."
