More than a hundred farmers left the island to join the demonstration in the capital. A representative also in front of the Ariston, but Rai says no to intervention on stage: «A statement will be read»Per restare aggiornato entra nel nostro canale Whatsapp
There is also Sardinia in the delegation of farmers marching towards Sanremo who this evening wanted to make their voice, and that of the tractor protest, heard from the most followed stage in Italy: that of the Ariston. Fabio Pitzalis, from Guasila, will represent the island. But the enthusiasm clashes with a position taken by Rai. During the presentation of the third evening of the festival the company announced: «We have received and continue to receive hundreds of emails from farmers who want to go on stage. Rai will bring the problems and requests of the agricultural world to the attention of the general public through their press release. Now we need to understand who the representatives of these farmers are. The Prefecture will understand it, we for our part with Amadeus have given our willingness to read the press release that will reach us."
Pitzalis, headed to the city of flowers, had said: « We also want to represent the problems of our region, but from what transpires for the moment from our contacts on the spot, mine and the tractors that are moving from Milan could be a journey useless . In fact, they don't seem to have any intention of letting us get on stage."
And the usual problem of continuity also arises: «It should be noted that I have been traveling since yesterday by plane, trains and cars to get to Sanremo - adds Pitzalis - because from Sardinia there are no flights to the rest of Italy, beyond Rome and Milan ». An odyssey, then. The Sardinian representative is expected to arrive at 5pm.
Meanwhile in Cagliari the garrison at the port continues - which will only be dissolved after hearing national coordination - after the ninth night spent in front of the Customs pier. However, around a hundred farmers are temporarily leaving the headquarters: heading towards Rome, for the demonstration scheduled for tomorrow in Piazza San Giovanni.
They will leave tomorrow morning with the first flight to the capital: «We will bring the voice and protest of our campaigns with our presence and our banners», explains Roberto Congia, one of the spokesmen , «waiting for answers. We want those united with concrete facts: it will be a march in the city on foot, but if we don't have guarantees from the ministry, the movement is ready to enter the capital even with all its tractors."
