Newly elected centre-left Sardinia
governor Alessandra Todde of the leftist populist 5-Star
Movement (M5S) said that Sardinians had responded to last
Friday's allegedly excessive use of truncheons in the policing
of a peaceful pro-Palestinian student demonstration in Pisa with
the pencils they used in the ballot box Sunday.
"Sardinia has responded to the batons with pencils," she said
press conference in which she assured that the new regional
council "will be of great competence".
She said she would also go to Abruzzo to campaign for March 10
regional elections there in which the PD-M5S 'broad field' will
face another test of its ability to defeat the nationally
dominant right-centre-right coalition.
"I will also go to Abruzzo, to campaign. The PD and M5S have
been generous with me and I will go and campaign for them. 'To
create a solid project that can convince the electorate the
alliance between the PD and M5S is the only way.
Todde said she will work a lot with young people and that she
will also focus a lot on research to counter the migration of
young Sardinians away from the island.
