In mid‑July 2026, Forza Italia municipal councillors in Alghero condemned a €10 million budget amendment as a “race for visibility” within the centre‑left administration, arguing that the spending should be a collective decision and warning that the dispute distracts from pressing urban problems such as decay, traffic and parking. A week later, Fratelli d’Italia representatives accused the regional majority of marginalising Alghero by keeping the city out of the presidency and vice‑presidency of the newly formed socio‑health district covering Alghero and neighbouring municipalities. The mayor of Alghero refuted the claim, pointing to a recent district meeting that produced a cooperative leadership arrangement and emphasizing that the city remains integrated in the district’s governance. Both incidents illustrate ongoing intra‑party and inter‑party tensions over resource allocation and institutional leadership in Alghero’s municipal and regional structures. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Alghero dispute over social‑health district leadership sparks political clash Fratelli d’Italia says Alghero was excluded from the district’s leadership; Mayor Cacciotto counters, noting a collaborative appointment of Ittiri’s mayor as president and Siligo’s mayor as vice‑president. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alghero-dispute-over-socialhealth-district-leadership-sparks-political-clash ### 2026-07-18: Alghero Budget Variation Sparks Forza Italia Criticism Over Visibility Contest Forza Italia councillors in Alghero criticised a centre‑left feud over a €10 million budget change, calling it a visibility race and saying it ignores key urban problems. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/alghero-budget-variation-sparks-forza-italia-criticism-over-visibility-contest --- Cite as: Alghero local political disputes.
