It is a complicated moment for Alessandra Todde . It would be for anyone after a sentence that, although first-degree, nails her to her "serious and multiple violations" in the reporting of electoral expenses . Yet to the May 28 verdict , two other dates are added that risk shattering the (fragile) balance of the majority. Five days earlier, that is, May 23, at the coalition summit the Democratic Party had asked for a collegial management of healthcare ; but the day after the sentence Giuseppe Conte shielded Armando Bartolazzi from Nuoro . To frame it all, a year of legislature in which Todde should have started to guarantee the right to healthcare, as promised as a candidate for governor; instead, as president of the Region, she has to deal with the 17.2% of Sardinians who gave up treatment in 2024. The same figure was 13.7 in 2023. Numbers from Istat, not the center-right.

It is a huge unknown, this one of health care. They know it well in the opposition, where the wind of an early return to the polls, even at the beginning of 2026, is considered a certainty, "given the sentence" . The secretary of the Democrats Piero Comandini, president of the Regional Council, brings water to the embers of the majority. "There has never been a rift between M5S and Pd on health care. The strength of the coalition is, if anything, the ability to tell us things without hypocrisy and pretense, so I wouldn't speak of a crisis".

This is how the shelving of the reshuffle becomes in things, to which Bartolazzi himself had given credence speaking of his return to Rome "after a year". Instead, Conte in Nuoro said that the center-right in Rome should "roll up its sleeves like our Bartolazzi is doing". End of the hypothesis of a Todde bis. Even if it is difficult to imagine a Democratic surrender. At least in terms of numerical weight within the majority.
