The very long lines at the stalls , to sign the popular initiative law. The full squares , at every demonstration. Energy speculation sent back to the sender, using the very powerful weapon of democratic participation. To retrace the last month and a half in Sardinia, these are the frames of Pratobello 24 that today reaches the finish line . The first, with the closing of the signature collection and a flashmob-tribute to Sassari . Then the signatures will be taken to the municipal offices for validation . On October 2nd the delivery to the Regional Council .

There is an air of a date with history among supporters and activists. "We really didn't expect it," says Luigi Pisci, spokesman for the Sarcidano Committee. Pratobello 24 reaches the finish line with the record of one hundred thousand signatures exceeded. 10 thousand would have been enough to conquer the gallon of the popular initiative law .

It was late July when the mayor of Orgosolo, Pasquale Mereu, filed as promoter the Pratobello 24, making the date of September 16 official as the last day to sign the law. A deadline that in Sassari is celebrated with "The signature is only the beginning", a flashmob "with pens in the air", at 7 pm in Piazza Castello (but the speeches begin two hours earlier).

Barring bureaucratic obstacles, the other historic date that is added to Pratobello 24 is the deposit of signatures in the Regional Council, the Parliament of Sardinia. " Wednesday 2 October everyone in Cagliari to deliver the signatures ", is written in the poster that is circulating on social media and chat. The meeting is at 10, then another flashmob before physically going up to the Palace with the boxes.
