" When we have migrants landing at Su Siccu, shall we send the local police boat? " This was the most direct part of Mayor Massimo Zedda's speech at last night's City Council meeting. The deliberately provocative question about the migrants who landed on Viale Colombo was formulated by the mayor to reiterate the government's responsibility for security and underscore the limitations of the tools available to municipalities. In response to accusations from the opposition and those who blame public order problems on local governments, the mayor recalled that "security apparatuses are the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior and obviously also of the Prime Minister."

But Cagliari's mayor didn't stop at the local level. Again addressing the center-right minority, Zedda highlighted Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's position, which could soon prompt her supporters not to raise the issue of security and make it the center of the debate, so as not to penalize the center-right and pave the way for Roberto Vannacci . "You're not talking about it," the mayor added, "because you would have to apologize for security. There won't be a discussion with the mayor of Cagliari or the group leader Marta Mereu. There will be a good debate with Vannacci and Meloni," Zedda said yesterday in the chamber.
