Following the celebration of Santa Reparata, controversy erupts over the condition of some areas of the town. The debate was sparked by an anonymous post on social media pointing to the presence of abandoned waste.

"The party was beautiful, and congratulations to whoever organized it all. The only regret," reads the comment, "and not a small one, is the condition the town is in now, like every year. Garbage everywhere. A disgrace."

Mayor Gian Giuseppe Vargiu weighed in on the matter, not hiding his disappointment that the criticism came from an anonymous source, but also wanted to clarify what had happened. "I don't like people who don't speak out," the mayor stated, "but I want to point out that the organizing committee immediately began cleanup operations. This work was further complicated by the bad weather and rain, which caused numerous decorative flags to break and then be blown to various parts of the town. The festival," Vargiu noted, "was widely appreciated by the many people who attended the weekend's events, and events of this magnitude represent an important moment of community unity for the entire community."

This also includes an invitation to residents to make a concrete contribution to the life of the town. "We invite anyone who is sensitive not only to report, but also to participate and collaborate in any initiative that is promoted. I much prefer those who make themselves available through action, not by writing without making themselves known," the mayor added. "The holidays are welcome; it's normal that they can bring some small unexpected events. I hope we can organize even more of them as a community." A clarification also came from the Santa Reparata Committee, which reiterated the volunteers' commitment to the restoration efforts. "On Sunday afternoon, we were busy cleaning the nuraghi area and the road, collecting plastic, rubbish, and glass left behind by outsiders," the committee explained. "It wasn't possible to intervene immediately in all the town's streets because it would have taken much longer, but we did a lot."
