Barracelli on a war footing for the failure to reform the sector loudly requested by over 6000 rural police operators . «It must be said: so many promises as a sailor! In the meantime, the Region has not yet found a well-defined location for the barracelli , despite the fact that they are included in the local police sector in its statute, rejecting the proposals received from the base by the operators who find themselves having to fight every day with the operational problems caused by the current law n.25 of 1988 and ignoring the opinions of the Ministry of the Interior and Justice. If, on the one hand, the Region of Sardinia is struggling to curb the reform proposals considered "impossible and unacceptable", on the other hand, with collaboration protocols and year-end evaluations, it stumbles over issues of consistency with its acts and declarations ". Unione Barracelli and Syndicato Autonomo Barracelli write in a note .
"Well yes - continues the document - while the Barracellis require a very precise location in the sector of the "local rural police" since the Barracellis are a police and guarantie institution (guarantee) which was born on the will of the municipal administration and not by the will of individual citizens, the Region of Sardinia tries in vain to place them among the forces of voluntary work ».
Yet all year round the Barracellis give a big hand in forest firefighting and civil protection in general, in the management of major events, in the safety of rural areas, in the fight against illicit and environmental crimes.
«After thirty-five years from the birth of the law on the Barracelli, we have finally been called to follow the training courses so praised by the Councilor for Local Authorities, Aldo Salaris. It is a pity that during the participation in the training course we received an "uninformed" training, full of gaps, summary, imprecision and impossibility of contradictory. In short, a further joke for those who also put their personal safety at risk and stealing time from their families, to safeguard our land, without considering the expenditure of public resources for a course that has received absolutely negative feedback only for the first few 5 lessons from the learners themselves. At the end of the legislature, we consider ourselves deeply disappointed by how regional policy has worked for us as a whole», the note continues.
« We feel treated like simple shop assistants by the "others" who, at any hour of the day or night, always and vehemently request the intervention of our patrols when they need help, but who do not grant us a minimum of dignity after we went out of our way to help them . We doubt that in the time remaining before the 2024 regional elections, we can run for cover without expiring in botched measures that would disappoint for their incompleteness and imprecision, as already happened in the last legislature. And let it be clear, the usual and inflated excuse of the pandemic, in this topic, does not attack!» close the statement.
