Piazza XX Settembre is packed as the march begins. Around a thousand people are marching through Guspini demanding answers about local healthcare. The march, promoted by all the council groups, is making its way along Via Gramsci, Via Di Vittorio, Via Malagoli, and Via Sereni toward the municipal health center, where a public meeting on the right to healthcare is scheduled. The problems that have driven the town to take to the streets are well-known and have been dragging on for years : three general practitioners for nearly 11,000 residents, ASAP clinics that cannot meet the population's needs, and a medical emergency service that struggles to maintain shifts, especially at night and on holidays. Those paying the highest price are the elderly and chronically ill, with long waiting lists, postponed appointments, and constant travel out of town. The meeting in the square in front of the local health authority (ASL), on Via Montale, will then feature speeches from the council groups .
