A silent protest: this is how the opposition advisers had imagined it and so it was.

The discussion of the new safety and urban police regulation ignites the clash in the municipal council in Cagliari.

While the mayor Paolo Truzzu illustrates the novelty of a regulation that surpasses the previous one, dated 1931, all the centre-left councilors get up from their benches and silently display protest signs. “Homeless, no money, no alms and out of town”; "A city that excludes and marginalizes, here is the real degradation", reads among those on display.
While the mayor goes on for eleven minutes to explain that "this regulation certainly does not establish a police regime but sets the rules of civil coexistence".

"It is a political, cultural and social shame," replies Matteo Massa, group leader of the Progressives. "It is impossible to hit the last ones, such as those who are forced to beg or sleep on the street".
