Supply-chain Risk Briefing

1) Summary During the week of March 14, 2025, social welfare and healthcare workers in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy began a peaceful tent sit-in in front of the regional council, demanding job stabilization within the local health authority (ASL). Classified as a low-grade demonstration, no violence or infrastructure blockades have been reported to date.

2) Supply-chain impact

• Potential medical service delays — Healthcare worker sit-in may disrupt regional medical service operations and cause pharmaceutical distribution delays
• Sardinia port operations — Cagliari is Sardinia's major port city; if the sit-in expands, it could indirectly impact cargo transport between the mainland and island
• Limited tourism and service sector impact — Given the peaceful nature of the sit-in, immediate disruption to regional economic activities or logistics flows remains low
• Regional administrative functions — Sit-in in front of regional council may delay administrative operations; review needed for impacts on permit and approval processes

3) Watch points

• Scale of sit-in expansion — Potential for healthcare workers in other Italian regions to join in solidarity sit-ins and shift toward traffic blockade actions
• Cagliari port operational status — Need to monitor duration of sit-in and impact on port access routes
