The blitz started at 7: means and personnel of the Local Police of Cagliari, with the collaboration of the Carabinieri, the State Police, the Guardia di Finanza and the Fire Brigade reached Piazza Madre Teresa di Calcutta to clear the "Lo Sfizio" kiosk . The underground line must pass in the parking lot next to the Cis and the structure had to be removed . The warnings didn't help and this morning there was a big operation.
“ They are destroying us. My three children work there with their families. Now we will be forced to look for forms of support because they don't let us work »said Giuseppe Melis in tears, the historic owner of the business opened more than twenty years ago and a meeting point for many people. « We were told that we could move the structure to the same square. I made the work, with an investment of almost 50,000 euros, and it was confiscated from me. Now they're also seizing our kiosk and sandwich shop. What do we have to do? »
The clearing operations, under the coordination of the local police, went ahead without particular problems after the initial protest by the Melis family. All useless in the face of a huge deployment of forces. « Not even a fugitive would bother with so many patrols and men in uniform », is the final comment by Giuseppe Melis.
