«The Lai management is better off going home and moving on to another chapter. Given the facts, it is clear that he is no longer capable of governing." The three opposition group leaders, Annalisa Gulino (with Alberto Mureddu), Rosanna Giudice and Giovanni Manconi, are asking for it. The trigger for this request was the recent approval, by the majority alone, of the amendment to the Regulation on the Functioning of the City Council "which lowered the quorum for the approval of resolutions to the minimum legal threshold".

For the opposition, "a clear political signal that the majority no longer has the numbers to administer and needs to reduce the quorum". What does this lowering mean? For the opposition "it means limiting participation in political-administrative choices, limiting the possibility of those who think differently to express their point of view, it means cutting out those who perhaps no longer share the administration's thoughts".

In the same City Council meeting on 8 March, as already published a few days ago, the Lai Administration annulled, in self-protection, resolution no. 70 of 22 December 2023, concerning the integration to the PUC in compliance with the PPR and the PAI. Resolution which had been the subject of disputes by minorities and recently also of appeal to the TAR. The objection raised concerned the existence of a quorum in the chamber at the time of the vote, which was sufficient according to the interpretation of the City Council regulation in force at the time, for the majority, but insufficient for the minorities.

And so last March 4 the mayor, by decree, had appointed the council commission on the regulation of the municipal council with Valerio Pisano as president, a commission that was immediately reunited and which made some changes to the 60 existing articles, including the one that lowers the quorum of attendance (1/3 in second call). "We opposed this modification", write the opposition, "with our votes against (Gulino, Mureddu, Giudice, Manconi)". «At this point, the Lai administration must have the courage and awareness to resign for the good of the country!».
