"In the end, as always, the citizens will pay." This is the leitmotif that echoes from the 377 municipalities of Sardinia. Especially in the inland areas there are mayors forced to count the cents to guarantee essential services. The fault is a combined provision between the Region, which does not adjust the single fund, and the State, which cuts funding without discounts. We are talking about 48.2 million less, spread between 2025 and 2029, from Rome .
Something like 150 million from 2010 for each year up to now from the single fund of the Region: « We are talking about 2.3 billion, which we are careful not to request all together, but a signal would be welcome ». Francesco Spanedda, Councillor for Finance and Local Authorities, does not hold back: «The Government cannot further reduce the treasury transfer in favour of the Municipalities of Sardinia», he explains, «already penalised by a system that is essentially based on the resources put in place by the Region». As for the rest, we will see.
