Controversial back and forth between Alessandra Todde, candidate for governor of Campo Largo, and Paolo Truzzu, "rival" supported by the centre-right.
The sparks were triggered by Todde's words during a visit to the San Benedetto Market in Cagliari , the city of which Truzzu is mayor.
«Cagliari – said Todde – is in disarray and the people are exhausted with how the administration has worked. A dirty, insecure, stopped, blocked, untreated, forgotten city." And again, the M5S exponent added in a post on Facebook: «Cagliari is marked by endless construction sites and inadequate waste management, with dirty streets and schools in difficulty. Added to this is one of the worst air quality in Italy. A disaster. Who is responsible for all this? Paolo Truzzu. The third to last mayor of Italy by approval who asks the Sardinians for a promotion. He asks for the vote and promises to continue. Continuity with the inability to manage, with the incompetence, unreliability and dishonesty demonstrated by the outgoing council. A shame. On February 25th we can change all this."
Truzzu's reply was not long in coming: «For some, the electoral campaign is a no-holds-barred competition, to the point of forcing reality in order to recover a few percentage points», was the response of the mayor of the capital.
«Cagliari – adds Truzzu – is a beautiful and lively city, administered in recent years to become even more beautiful and even more functional, for the benefit of its citizens and those who live there. Even by making decisions which, at times, have had the flavor of unpopularity, but which, as soon as the work is finished, can be judged, especially by the people of Cagliari. I am aware, and it is understandable, that public works within the city may have created inconveniences, obviously temporary. But they have a concrete growth objective, rather than a forgotten city."
Then Truzzu reels off the data on the works underway, the amounts of investments and the results achieved. And he concludes: «Of the 300 million investments, 80% went to Sardinian companies with a significant socio-economic impact on the entire regional territory. Furthermore, we will leave a legacy of 240 million to the next mayor to invest. As for the gratuitous accusations of inability, incompetence and unreliability , it would be easier to look towards Palazzo Chigi in the period between June 2018 and January 2021. "
