“Coldiretti Sardegna together with its president - reads a note - has always acted and will act in the interests of the Sardinian agricultural and agri-food world. He does it with passion and honesty, in the sunlight and putting his face on it without hiding in the darkness of the night or finding scapegoats. For this reason, in transparency, it will continue on its way, highlighting the problems and distortions that penalize agricultural and livestock companies and making concrete proposals to solve them and improve the system and the well-being of society ".
“Violence is an end in itself, both physical and verbal, the daughter of weakness and cowardice and does not find citizenship in the democratic discussion of which the agricultural organization belongs. It will be the task of justice, on which Coldiretti places the utmost trust and which he always relies on to prosecute these criminals and also those who spread poison and violence, many in social networks, playing on the desperation of people oppressed by an epochal economic crisis and generating a climate of hatred among the weakest ”, reads the association's statement again.
Other messages arrived from Anci Sardegna through the words of President Emiliano Deiana who spoke of “human, political and civil closeness to Battista Cualbu and Coldiretti, the victim of an ignoble intimidation act in the past few hours. An unacceptable intimidation that 'describes' a very heavy situation in Sardinian communities weakened by the crisis and the difficulties of this very complicated time. A situation which, if not countered with the weapons of politics, risks creating social tensions that are not easily curtailed. In this phase, the institutional forces, the social partners, the local authorities must find a way to counter the crisis and support the economic categories weakened by the crisis and, at the same time, isolate those who focus on chaos and violence ".
"A violent and ignoble gesture that strikes an esteemed person, a man who is a symbol of our rural world - is the comment of the President of the Region, Christian Solinas -. To Battista Cualbu goes my total solidarity and that of the whole council, and I hope that these hate-foment criminals are identified as soon as possible ". "A hard worker is struck, who has always been at the forefront to defend the interests of all Sardinian farmers and breeders. A man who works in the name of dialogue, in search of the best choices for the many operators in his sector. it will stop him ", concludes the governor to whom Gabriella Murgia, councilor for agriculture is added:" In this delicate moment the rural world needs serenity and concrete and daily support. Vile and criminal acts such as the one committed against Battista Cualbu deserve the strongest condemnation ".
"In my personal name and in the name of the council - writes the mayor Andrea Soddu from Nuoro -, I express my closeness and solidarity to the regional president of Coldiretti Battista Cualbu, the victim of a very serious intimidating act. The moments of difficulty such as the ones we are going through are overcome. only if we are united, through dialogue, and not through hateful and cowardly acts like this, useful only to fuel tensions and divisions in the community. Violence is not, and never will be, the answer to solving problems ".
Also from Copagri Sardegna "full solidarity and closeness to the regional president of Coldiretti Sardinia Battista Cualbu after the cowardly intimidating act he was subjected to". "Dissent with the political-trade union action of an organization can be expressed in various ways according to democratic rules, in a fair and open manner - reads the note signed by President Ignazio Cirronis, by the regional director Pietro Tandeddu and by regional presidency -, but it is unacceptable that it be expressed in forms of cowardice far removed from the culture of civilized life ”.
