The church excommunicates the bad nightlife in the center of Cagliari. In Stampace, in particular, the heart of nightlife on weekends together with the Marina.
The arrows of the parish of Sant'Anna, historic church of via Azuni, come after this morning the sunlight has illuminated its majestic steps covered with bottles, waste and excrement of all kinds. The result of a drooling evening of dozens of kids who meet in the area every weekend.
"The parish community, the entire Stampace neighborhood, residents and tourists, must continue to witness - helplessly - the continuous, unstoppable degradation that has been renewed, for years now, every weekend, with no longer any difference between summer and winter," reads a note issued by the parish, accompanied by an eloquent video.
The steps of the church of Sant'Anna, but now also the little square of Santa Restituta nearby and the streets of the district "are the object of continuous aggression by gangs of vandals, almost all minors, boys and girls who have chosen our symbolic places for raids, parties and drinking sessions, with the relative accompaniment of waste, organic or otherwise, left at the doors of our churches and homes".
Many Stampacini are asking for the convening of a neighborhood assembly, the drafting of a petition to the mayor and a complaint to the police «for a situation that is experiencing a worrying and dangerous social and moral drift».
Perhaps, they argue from the parish led by Don Francesco Matta, "the time has come to join forces with all those who care about the fate of our neighborhood, the parish of Sant'Anna and all the other churches in the district. The time has come to make our voice heard with clear and shared proposals for urgent and no longer postponable answers."
The crusade has begun.
