«Heartfelt congratulations to the new president of the Sardinia Region Todde, the first woman to hold such a prestigious and burdensome position. However, it is unfortunate to note that, from some statements released to the media, he attributes his victory to the alleged "repressive" policies of the central government, implemented at the hands of the police, citing in an instrumental way what happened in Florence and Pisa ".
The complaint to the new governor of Sardinia comes from the regional secretariat of the Siap State Police union , which refers to a passage from the first press conference after the election of the Campo Largo candidate. "The island responded to the truncheons with pencils," said Todde, speaking of the clashes between agents and students that occurred in Tuscany in recent days and were the subject of bitter political controversy .
To the words of the governor, Siap replies in a note: «President, you first, who have represented and represent the institutions, should know the condition of third party that characterizes the police forces and know that the women and men in uniform have always guaranteed any form of freedom exercised in compliance with the law ( Sub lege libertas is the motto of the State Police). Among the exercise of the rights that the Police Force has the honor and burden of ensuring, there is also that which allowed the Sardinian citizens to choose it as their representative. And if today the symbol of democracy in our country is still a pencil in the hands of the voter - concludes the union - much of the credit goes to those who contribute to maintaining that democracy with their daily commitment".
