Even in Cagliari, university students in tents against high rents: "Strong increases after the pandemic"

Cagliari like Milan. Even in Sardinia students in tents against high rents .

A camping tent was in fact set up by the Sardinian students of the University Union in front of the entrance to the former Aresu clinic. The initiative on the occasion of the national mobilization to denounce the housing crisis and ask for answers from the Government.

"Homeless, no future" is the slogan.

"An intolerable situation also in Sardinia - explains Matteo Pisu, coordinator of UniCaralis representative of the Faculty of Political, Economic and Social Sciences and of the Department of Law -. In Cagliari, for example, after the pandemic we are seeing sharp increases in prices. They start from 250-300 euros per bed, but demand is higher than supply. And this is a mechanism that raises the costs of exercising the right to study ».

The request is to " create university residences that fall within the right to study , the only ones that can guarantee that all students can study, regardless of their economic situation". Among the requests is also an increase in the support fund for non-residents, the 4 million provided for by the budget law are "a ridiculous figure given the colossal housing crisis and high rents" .

Minister Bernini has signed a decree setting up an inter-ministerial working group made up of experts called to quickly respond to the issue.

Even the rectors are moving to identify properties to be converted with funds from the Pnrr to give students leases at subsidized prices.
