The Provincial Secretariat of the UDC Christian Democracy, which is competing in the administrative elections in support of the Mayoral Candidate Gianni Rolando, stigmatizes the acts of vandalism against the electoral posters, measuring 2 meters by 1, torn from the spaces dedicated to the candidates.
“They were destroyed, crumpled and thrown to the ground or disappeared – intervenes Anna Maria Panarello, UDC provincial secretary -. We are outraged by these anti-democratic gestures which not only do not intimidate us, but rather strengthen us because we have even clearer the strength of our popular Christian democratic valuesand therefore we will hang them up with more enthusiasm.
The more we are hit with these squalid attacks, the higher we will fly, above the mud of those who want to damage our beautiful symbol and the strength of its values stronger than any act of vandalism. The quality of democracy is also measured by respect towards the adversary and by the liberality and pluralism of ideas. The delegitimization of the opponent through acts like these, which are crimes, is not democratic and nothing should make one think that ‘removing’ other ideas is legitimate. This gesture is a clear demonstration of the contempt towards the opponent on the part of some individuals.
UDC Democracy Cristiana does not want to destroy and eliminate its opponent, but wants to discuss ideas to give Sanremo the best possible future.”
