Some have moved from the majority to the opposition. But there are also those who, after being removed from the executive table, have decided to get some things off their chest. In the Municipality of Milis, things aren't all rosy among the administrators .

The Deputy Mayor

Mayor Monica Ortu's City Council continues to creak . After losing Nino Manca, former councilor for agriculture and productive activities, whose mandate had been revoked by the mayor and who is now a minority councilor, Maria Celeste Pinna, now deputy mayor, has also been removed. During the most recent City Council meeting, which was more heated than usual, there was no shortage of accusations and controversy.

The document

After announcing that she had revoked Pinna's mandate, thanking her "for her commitment and service to the administration over the past three years," Mayor Ortu announced the appointment of Paolo Puddu, Councilor for Budget, Planning, Heritage, and Urban Planning, as Deputy Mayor . Councilor Pinna immediately requested permission to read a document.

"Since the day after this Council was inaugurated, the mayor has shown clear and constant unease with my presence on the Council," she said. "A tension that has reached the point of sending me, through intermediaries, explicit and repeated requests for my resignation. I cannot describe these three years as an edifying experience. On the contrary, I have felt constantly targeted from within the executive branch, surrounded by prejudices, false accusations, and rash judgments." Pinna speaks of a united "us" group: "The true structural limitation of this majority lies in the total lack of a sense of unity. Administration means perceiving the fundamental needs of the community and translating them into citizens' rights. Here, however, every single request or need has been mistakenly interpreted as an attack or a sign of personal criticism. We have never been a group. Within it, a scientific approach has been implemented aimed at dividing rather than uniting. Decisions have always been made in a one-way manner." Pinna then spoke about projects that never got off the ground: "This administration has chosen to focus on new construction that produces no real increase in wealth or well-being for the community. It has deliberately ignored the truly urgent and structural interventions that the country desperately needs: the repair of the water and sewerage networks, the recovery and enhancement of existing real estate, the design of tourism, nature, and landscape itineraries capable of generating the local economy, and the valorization of our historical and archaeological heritage. I left the Council with my head held high, knowing that I defended the rights of our community against personalistic approaches and unwanted and unnecessary decisions. I will continue to carry out my role in this Council in the exclusive interest of the country."

The mayor

In the Council, Ortu immediately responded to Pinna : "All decisions were shared and voted on by the majority with your presence." She then added that "the majority group has always been there" and that, if anything, it is Councilor Pinna "who has always felt outside of the group." Ortu, consulted outside the City Council, addressed the matter in more depth: "At the next opportunity, therefore at the next Council meeting, I will respond in detail to all the accusations made by my former deputy mayor. Putting a document down on paper takes time, and I have little time, given that I work daily for the citizens. My goal is to govern and not indulge in gossip, not criticize the work of those who dedicate their time to the community every day." Opposition councilor Franco Frongia reflected on the matter: "After three years of this administration, two councilors have resigned and two councilors have had their responsibilities revoked. It's worth noting that Maria Celeste Pinna was deputy mayor, a position of extreme trust. Now, Ortu can only count on seven out of thirteen. Very limited. It won't be easy to navigate these last two years, especially when willingness to engage in dialogue is at a minimum, when proposals from the opposition are treated with disdain and simply seen as an obstacle."
