«I know the problems of the historical centre. So much so that on the one hand I issue the ordinances to deal with them. The problem is enforcing them: many kids and certain traders are smart. I know that some things need to be improved." The mayor of Cagliari Paolo Truzzu speaks the day after the assembly which brought together the residents of Marina, Stampace, Villanova, Castello: four districts, same hardships. Which are called noise, lack of security (real or perceived), Ztl not respected, lack of parking. Everyone from the middle school in via Piceno pointed the finger at the Municipality, considered guilty of not intervening to stem the phenomena.
And there, on the other side of the finger, sits Truzzu, with the list of things done and to do to give answers. Alongside, also the list of bureaucratic and non-bureaucratic ups and downs with which it has to deal.
First of all, the novelty: «The stewards will arrive in the historic center», he announces, «the junta has allocated a loan of 50 thousand euros for the Chamber of Commerce which, with the trade associations, will have to bring trained personnel to the streets and squares of the nightlife it will help maintain public order.' No sanctioning or repressive role: "They will have an educational and dissuasive role". In short, they will monitor and advise the younger ones not to do stupid things.
If it should happen, the responsibility belongs to others: «At my strong request, the Prefecture», underlines the mayor, «after an interruption in September, has decided to reactivate the task force made up of local and state police, the carabinieri and by the Guardia di Finanza who will patrol the most sensitive areas from 6pm to 2am».
