Diego Dalla Palma, goodbye to the followers who support Matteo Salvini: «We are not made for each other»

Diego From La Palma he doesn’t agree and bluntly asks the hypotheticals Salvinians present among his followers to stop following him. «He is a politician but I don’t make it a political question – he confesses in a long video posted on Instagram -, because in his own party there are men who I respect and who I also admire, in certain aspects». So it’s not the League that doesn’t like the “Italian prophet of make-up”, as the New York Times defined him. His is his own a personal issue with Salvini and with all those who share his thoughts. «The time has come, especially in these days, to make a request of you – she continues, looking at the camera, with her unmistakable grace and his innate kindness -: to ask to those of you who support this man (above all it supports his thoughts and his vision of the life of a human being) Please, heartfeltly, no longer be part of this social world of mine. Let’s split up here. Do me a favor. I say this calmly, almost affectionately. We are not made for each other. Everyone goes their own way.”

Vannacci the last drop?

Most likely, the drop that broke the camel’s back was the announcement of the recent partnership in view of the European Championships between the man from the Northern League and General Roberto Vannacci. «I believe the time has come for me, especially in this period of my life, to be loyal, courageous, transparent and to say what I think – is the incipit of Dalla Palma’s public message -. There are some people among you who are convinced that I can support a man, thinking that in some way I can share his vision of life. Not only do I not agree with what he says and what he professes. I think and have beliefs exactly the opposite of him”. With a calm but firm voice, she explained her position and invited all those who think like the deputy prime minister to abandon her profile and immediately stop following him. «The roads of the world are infinite – she specifies – and everyone thinks as she believes. But you and I will never be friends, allies or confidants as long as you support Matteo Salvini.”

The reactions

The sincerity of Diego Dalla Palma’s appeal goes hand in hand with the flow of consciousness, always without filters, reserved for the podcast “Vivo”, created by Show Reel Studios and dedicated to his life, in which he talks about his “twenty lives”, between storms and successes. The reaction of his followers, however, was predictably varied, not always in line with the extreme elegance that the entrepreneur and make up artist reserved for his audience.
«I don’t vote for Salvini but the mere fact that the contempt you feel towards this person leads you to make such an extreme decision makes me very sorry, it means that you are not a balanced man as you want us to believe”; «I didn’t imagine that your resentment towards a person would generate such a reaction in you put a wall between her and her readers”; «I shared some of Salvini’s ideas but many and many did not. However, I don’t share his opinion. Even though I am 70 years old, I still seek comparison with people who don’t think like me”; “And maybe instead you are among those who define themselves as democratic and free”, are just some of the reactions of his followers, well balanced by those who found this political admission a proof of transparency and shared values. «Here is finally clarity, which is a truly rare value to find these days… I completely agree with his thoughts”; «Thank you for the courage to be yourself to the fullest no matter what the cost” and “you couldn’t agree with me more than that” closed by a laughing “Ah well, I can stay peacefully, then”.
