The crisis is now open and confirmed in the Oristano council chamber. The mayor himself stated this at the end of a heated council meeting , amid clashes with the opposition and now evident tensions within the majority. "Until I understand that there are no longer the conditions to move forward," Massimiliano Sanna insisted during the debate requested by the minority. Shortly before, he had asked, also on behalf of the council, for the budget item to be withdrawn: a request granted, as were those of Maria Obinu and Francesco Federico to openly discuss the crisis.
Sanna admits the difficulties: "It's not an easy situation, and it feels like reliving the first year when I dismissed the council." He asserts his mandate and assures that he will continue as long as the conditions are met , also quoting Guido Tendas: "If the conditions are right, a mayor must continue until the end; otherwise, he must acknowledge them."
On the political side, the tone becomes more decisive: " We have the courage to carry forward our choices. We cannot be submissive in the face of dissent from one side . Things must be done: restricted traffic zones, outdoor areas." He calls for discussion and dialogue, rejecting the idea of choices dictated by the fear of failure: "This is courage."
Seventeen members of the Italian Communist Party (FdI), the UDC, and the PSD'Az (PSD) were present in the chamber, with six absent. These were the parties that sparked the crisis by demanding the dismissal of Councilor Ivano Cuccu over the limited traffic zone process. The mayor refused to sign the dismissal, further straining relations.
From the majority benches, Roberto Pisanu speaks of "personal interests" and requests for council positions "only for personal gain," with a mayor "pulled by the jacket." Gianfranco Porcu acknowledges that "there is a crisis," but defends the work done and urges "setting aside individual ambitions for the good of the city." Giuliano Uras points the finger at "personalism: you go away, I want to come in" and warns that "this is also why we're going home."
