Andrea Pezzottain Rome, on the stage of Fratelli d’Italia, he spoke of the “anomaly” of those cities, such as Milan, Brescia “and alas Bergamo” governed by the centre-left in a region like Lombardy governed by the centre-right. An “anomaly”, he added, due to a “strange anthropological situation”, and which he, by running for mayor of Bergamo, undertakes to “remove”.
She rebelled against these words Elena Carnevali, candidate for mayor, in Bergamo, for the center-left. That today, June 2, you declared: «Since when have elections democratically conducted and democratically won by the center-left been an anomaly? And what does Pezzotta mean by the unpleasant term “remove”? Also yesterday from the Roman stage of Fratelli d’Italia the candidate also declared that the consolidated government of the center-left in cities such as Bergamo, Brescia and Milan is a phenomenon “that should be studied from an anthropological point of view”. My centre-right opponent is perhaps unaware that there are nine Lombard capitals governed by the centre-left: Varese, Monza-Brianza, Cremona, Mantua, Lecco and Lodi must be added to the three he mentioned. Other than an anomaly, this is democracy. Guilty amnesia aside, the unacceptable use of the words spoken is striking, due to their disrespectful and offensive connotation not only towards the administrators of Bergamo, but above all towards the townspeople who with extraordinarily high percentages have chosen for two consecutive mandates, something that has never happened before in the political history of Bergamo, to be led by Giorgio Gori and his centre-left coalition ».
