No war , except in front of a judge. Giuseppe Melis , the owner of the sandwich kiosk in Piazza Madre Teresa di Calcutta (known as the Cis parking lot), in Cagliari , clarifies and dampens. But he does not back down, and indeed defends his position: "They have taken the bread out of the mouths of my children and my children's children".
It all begins with the start of work on the light rail . Melis receives the communication: the kiosk will have to be moved a few tens of meters . Not bad, except that the new space available goes from 64 to 21 square meters : here the vendor turns up his nose, but - according to him - someone from the institutions guarantees him that, with a good job done, no one will stories for excess square footage. Melis collects and starts building the new house of the "Sfizio": in the meantime, the work continues in the previous refreshment point.
«In May 2022», he says, «an initial building inspection is carried out on the new kiosk. Two months later, in July, my business was suspended for 33 days ». And the regulation says that, if the 40 days in the two-year period are exceeded , the concession will be forfeited. We are in October, when Melis is sanctioned with another 33 days of suspension, referring to a violation committed in August, because the abuse has not been withdrawn: here is the forfeiture .
"He didn't have the technical time," explains the lawyer Marcello Medici . «Furthermore there was a seizure in progress, it was not possible to act. The attitude is little dialogue, sanctioning and punitive: you cannot remove a twenty-year license, with total payment of public land, with two checks within two months ». But the lawyer complains of another inconsistency: «The forfeiture occurred for a reason other than that envisaged by the regulation, or rather . But it was never there in the new structure, he continued in the other kiosk».
