Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi will be in Sardinia on Wednesday .

At 11.20 he will take part in the presentation of the project "Legality and active citizenship" at the Istituto Comprensivo Statale 2 of Sinnai , at 1.00 pm he will participate in the Provincial Committee for public order and safety convened by the Prefect Giuseppe De Matteis in the Prefecture of Cagliari . At the end of the meeting the member of the Interior Ministry will also release some statements in a press point.

Piantedosi therefore arrives on the island a few days after the focus on crime from which data emerges a "Sardinia felix", in which crimes are few and decreasing . And in which there is the province of Oristano which is actually last in Italy for crime.

But it is only one side of the coin, because from the same data it emerges that Nuoro is the third province in Italy (behind Agrigento and Foggia) for voluntary homicides . The latest is the one that stained the "Cortes Apertas" celebration in Lula with blood in recent days.

Then there is the marijuana market, of which Sardinia is the absolute queen : 15 tons seized last year, 46% of the entire quantity intercepted in Italy, as reported in the annual report to Parliament on drug addiction. A market that is becoming more and more flourishing from year to year, if you consider that 18 thousand plants were seized in less than a month.

Finally, perhaps minor crimes but which influence citizens' perception of safety much more than others. The fights, the robberies and the violent nightlife, and here it is Cagliari itself that is called into question .

«You have to take care of security at the Navy. Or we will take justice into our own hands", thundered Claudio Mura, owner of the Antica Hostaria, a historic restaurant . Two North Africans, his story, started fighting and ended up on a table where there were customers, destroying the glasses and an umbrella. "I will defend my freedom with sticks," he added, asking the Municipality and the police to guarantee safety.
