The last confrontation between the mayoral candidates in view of the upcoming municipal elections ended in sparks this evening in Sassari.
With Gavino Mariotti, leader of the centre-right, who leaves the room of the Hotel Grazia Deledda , annoyed and followed by the representatives of the parties who support him, effectively interrupting the session. What ignited the dust in the meeting promoted by the San Giuseppe neighborhood committee was a question from the moderator journalist Piergiorgio Pinna who, addressing Mariotti, asked him to express his opinion on his legal troubles.
As is known, the rector of the Turritano university is under investigation in the investigation by the Cagliari DDA "Monte Nuovo" for mafia and secret association. The candidate in turn asks to read to the journalist, from his cell phone, the accusation of the ordinance that concerns him where, more than anything else, an abuse of office is hypothesized. Then Mariotti gets heated and addresses the interlocutor several times as "dear journalist" while the audience roars and, someone from the Magnificent's entourage labels Pinna as a "communist", then shouting towards him "this is a beautiful democracy" in response to the statement that “asking questions is democracy”.
When the journalist later turns to the other mayoral candidate Mariano Brianda asking him about one of his lists, "Young people for Sassari", where the majority are 40-year-olds, Mariotti gets up complaining about unequal treatment in the questions, which are too good for the others and aim at him instead, and he goes out.
With him, like one man, his followers also leave the room, railing at the journalist and, among those who take the door, strangely, also some of the Civici, the coalition led by Lucchi. With only Mascia and Brianda left - Lucchi had left earlier and Palopoli had not shown up - the meeting is interrupted. Standing out as the only electric moment of an electoral campaign that has unfolded to date according to the modalities of a peaceful dispute.
