A large crowd of citizens of all ages attended the public meeting "Healthcare: Universal Right, Local Defense," starting from the central Piazza XX Settembre. The silent procession, after passing through Via Gramsci, Viale Di Vittorio, Via Malagoli, and Via Sereni, arrived at the Community House on Via Montale to demand concrete answers from the Local Health Authority (ASL).
A united community, without political banners or divisive slogans, mobilized to demand a fundamental right: the right to health . Crowds filled the streets to highlight the dramatic emergency affecting local healthcare. The numbers, moreover, speak clearly and depict an unsustainable situation: for a population of approximately 11,000 residents, only three general practitioners are available , compared to a structural shortage of five other professionals and one private pediatrician.
During the demonstration, many participants emphasized the value of social cohesion. All political members of the City Council, local volunteer associations, ordinary citizens, and entire families responded to the rally.
A peaceful procession through the streets of the country aimed at bearing witness to the daily hardship faced by hundreds of patients , particularly the most vulnerable segment of the population, those over 65.
A situation that translates, every day, into exhausting queues starting in the early hours of the morning, constantly busy phones, and the painful necessity—for those who can afford it—of traveling to neighboring municipalities or resorting to private healthcare, even just for a medical prescription or a specialist check-up.
Leading the protest was Guspini's mayor, Marco Pala , who emphasized the profound democratic value and constructive spirit of the initiative, emphasizing that the demonstration was not a political attack, but rather a united cry for help to ensure basic essential services for citizens and a desperate plea for dignity. The parish priest of the church of San Nicolò Emmanuele Deidda also attended the demonstration, expressing solidarity with the local church.
