New Year's Eve in Cagliari: «Barrels prohibited in the concert area». Worry about "Messi's ball", he can knock down a house
«Firecrackers will not be tolerated in the concert area, as a reminder of what happened in 2017 in Turin»The novelty for the New Year, in terms of illegal barrels, is Messi's ball: two and a half kilos of explosive capable of knocking down a house . Even in Cagliari there is maximum attention in view of the celebrations for the last year with the great concert by Blanco in via Roma.
For this reason, the Cagliari Police Headquarters invites you to celebrate, but while trying to avoid excess alcohol, be careful when driving. And above all, as commissioner Paolo Rossi explains, « barrels and firecrackers will not be tolerated in the concert area . What happened in Turin in 2017, with the death of two people and 1500 injured among the fans who followed the Champions League final due to the chaos caused by the explosion of a firecracker, must be a warning".
The service for December 31st and New Year's Day will be impressive. The police patrols are in action to fight crimes in the city: « Often there are thefts in the house when they are left empty for celebrations. Keep precious objects safe and ask a neighbor to keep watch », recalls the manager of the police cars, Massimo Imbimbo.
Great attention on the streets to counter the phenomenon of drunk driving : "There will be many trips", highlights the manager of the Cafliari Roadway, Catia Paganelli, "because finally we are returning to normal. So let's remember that you shouldn't drive when you're drinking. The dangers and risks are many. In addition to the sanctions, there are criminal complaints and the withdrawal of the license depending on the blood alcohol level ».
Veronica Madau, spokesperson for the police station, underlines the importance of "returning to the celebrations in the square, but trying to do so without creating dangerous situations". Andrea Basile, from the Artificeri nucleus of the Cagliari Police Headquarters, reminds us to avoid «collecting unexploded barrels . It is important to use freely sold firecrackers but by adults, following all the instructions on the packs. We must pay the utmost attention in order not to suffer serious damage. Obviously, the purchase and use of illegal or counterfeit barrels is prohibited.
