" The foretold death of the Via Quirra civic market ." This is how regional councilor Corrado Meloni of the Brothers of Italy party defines the suspension of porterage, goods handling, and cold storage services at the Via Quirra market , which occurred on January 31st without any communication to the operators .
City Councilor Alessio Mereu raised the issue, submitting an urgent question to the mayor and the council: "How is it possible that the administration ignores the desperation of so many workers?" Mereu declared. " We demand that the workers be given a voice and that any doubts about the risk of poor hygiene in the handling and storage of goods be dispelled ."
The service, extended until October 31, 2026, only for the Piazza Nazzari market , excludes Via Quirra. In the new tender, expiring on February 13, the market "isn't even considered," leaving operators and the contractor without explanation.
"The Zedda administration's decision," Meloni adds, "seems like the death knell for a market whose vitality is the cornerstone of a working-class neighborhood that cannot be abandoned ." Added to this is the "desperation of the workers whose services were suspended, who, from one day to the next, found themselves without a job."
