In view of the vote, in La Maddalena many parties are preparing the "assault" on the Town Hall in Piazza Garibaldi n.1 , until now firmly in the hands of the mayor, Fabio Lai, who in 2020, at the head of a right-wing civic coalition -left, largely won the electoral competition. To this end, the Democratic Party is preparing, not currently present in the City Council, as those "disappointed" who plan or aspire to oppose the coalition that currently governs the city, as well as other groups, made up of young and less young aspiring administrators, and " déjà vu”.

"There is an ongoing debate within the club," says Antonello Naseddu, city secretary of the Democratic Party. « We plan, in the next few days, to start a dialogue with the other components of the centre-left ; being the only organized local party, we are leading this process for the formation of a list." We will have to start talking about contents, continues the PD secretary, "and later about names". Is the “Campo Largo” also proposed in La Maddalena? «It is an idea that I have always pushed for», in any case, he concludes, «we aim to create an alternative list to that of Fabio Lai, oriented to the left or centre-left».

Still with regards to the Democratic Party, it will be interesting to see if the great rift that occurred within the section will be resolved, with the departure of the secretary in office, Laura Pirina and the former councilor, Mauro Bittu, who, in the last regional elections, supported Renato Soru (Bittu was also a candidate). "We will open up to associations, people on the left, who do not identify with the Democratic Party and also to those who are no longer in the Democratic Party for various reasons," says Naseddu.

But will the mayor, Fabio Lai, run again? "For now I have to think about concluding this cycle well, completing the pact with the voters, I'm referring to our electoral program", replies Lai. "I don't rule out a future candidacy, but I don't confirm it." And he adds: «I certainly cannot nominate myself; if the group were to propose it to me again I will evaluate at that moment. Right now it is really premature to think about a future candidacy."
