The statute of the Metropolitan City of Sassari was approved with 41 in favor and 6 abstentions. Yesterday in the Palazzo della Provincia the vote was held in the opening meeting of the Territorial Conference which was attended, in addition to the mayors, also by four regional councilors - Antonio Piu, Franco Cuccureddu, Gianfranco Satta and Francesco Spanedda - and the first signatory of the protocol Antonello Peru. "It is a statute - says Gavino Arru, extraordinary administrator of the Metropolitan City - that we have prepared on the basis of the Delrio law, and which contains the inspiring criteria of our administrative activity in the coming years".

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan City continues to structure itself. "We expect to send the last administrative acts to the Region by the second ten days of December so that President Todde can issue the decree of definitive transfer of our competences." The main interface, for now, is with the Department of Local Authorities, waiting for the one with the government.

"We will have the discussions when we are operational and we will ask to have access to those state funds that the Metropolitan City needs". And while the last technical-administrative details are being defined, we are thinking about the next strategic plan with the identification, concludes Arru, "of long-term solutions to give structured answers to the territory, not with spot resources".
