(ANSA) – CAGLIARI, MARCH 17 – “The agitation of Sardinian road hauliers, which has been going on for about three days, is worsening by the hour, so much so that it degenerates into a real blockade of ports and the handling of goods, with chain repercussions on public order, on the supply of large-scale distribution shelves and on the economic stability of thousands of Sardinian farms and of the rest of the Peninsula “. This was underlined by the president of Copagri Franco Verrascina, who wrote a letter about the president of the Council of Ministers Mario Draghi and the ministers of the interior Luciana Lamorgese and of agricultural, food and forestry policies Stefano Patuanelli.
“At stake is the island’s commercial exchange of numerous goods, including agricultural products, which are blocked before embarkation and returned to companies, with incalculable economic damage for agricultural companies, linked to the high perishable nature of production – continues Verrascina – This situation, which has gone far beyond the simple announced and authorized defense of the competent Authorities, risks definitively bringing the island’s primary to his knees, who, like the national one, has always guaranteed regular supply with a great sense of responsibility. of the shelves, despite having to pay the price of an unfavorable economic situation, closely linked to the consequences of the pandemic and to the increase in production costs, on which the problems deriving from the dramatic geopolitical crisis taking place on the eastern community side have grafted on ” , observes the president.
“The aforementioned tensions, which add to the gap in insularity that already weighs on transport to and from Sardinia, also risk fueling a dangerous ‘struggle between the poor’, creating tensions between categories of workers cornered by the difficult economic situation current “, remarked Verrascina, inviting the government, and in particular the Interior Ministry, to” intervene to ease tensions and ensure the regular flow of agri-food products, especially perishable ones “.
