Francesca Ghirra goes to Rome but does not lose her seat in the city council in Cagliari . Elected to the Chamber with the Green and Left Alliance, which recorded an exploit in the Cagliari area, she decided that she will not leave her place in Palazzo Bacaredda: "For the moment", she explains, " I have decided to continue to take care of the city in which I was elected , compatibly with the commitments of the new office. Later I will evaluate, together with my group, what is best to do ".

THE CHOICE. Ghirra had been elected in 2019 in the ranks of the Progressives, as a mayor candidate of the center-left in the lost challenge with the current mayor, Paolo Truzzu. In the event of resignation, Cristiano Castangia would take over in the courtroom, who was part of the “We are Cagliari” list and now passed to Possibil, a party that is already represented in the town hall by Giulia Andreozzi and Francesca Mulas. For now Castangia remains out.

NO EXPENSES. A choice , that of the new deputy - who has yet to settle in Montecitorio - which does not involve any disbursement for the public coffers: the two positions - parliamentary and city councilor - are not incompatible and for the second, in case of non-participation in the works, they are not there is no compensation.

THE REFLECTIONS. However, there may be a reflection. And it would be on the strength of the opposition. The Chamber's activity is concentrated between Tuesday and Thursday. The same days in which the municipal hall meets. It is unlikely that Ghirra, when his parliamentary work becomes fully operational, will be able to sit among the benches of the Cagliari center-left. Not only will his competence be lacking, a thorn in the side of the Truzzu administration.

THE COUNT. There is also the risk of being one less vote for the minority. And it happens in a difficult period for the center-right. The four former UDCs, who joined the Solinas group as president, are on the barricades: they often lack the quorum and could decide to vote against the junta line (where they demand two departments). In addition, the Northern League player Andrea Piras, also regional councilor, is never in the town hall. All things considered, an extra vote on the left could cause the shaky majority that governs Cagliari to go steadily underneath. Ghirra remains, Castangia (for now) remains out. And among the center-left allies there are already those who say: we celebrated the election of Francesca, but now it is necessary to discuss this decision.
