In the city, in bars and gyms, on social media and in WhatsApp groups, there is literally nothing else talked about. The post published (and then deleted) on Facebook by the President of Calcio Storico Fiorentino raised a hornet’s nest of controversy. And if the city coordination of the Brothers of Italy asked for his immediate resignation, even on the left the use of certain vulgar terms was not at all appreciated. Also because Michele Pierguidi is also the President of Quartiere 2, the constituency in which he is standing again in next week’s elections for the same role.

But what had the Democratic Party representative written at the end of the first semi-final, the one between the Azzurri and the Greens? “I saw people next to me in the stands who were only there to show off as candidates. I’m telling you, you piss me off a lot. Come back tomorrow too, at least I’ll tell you in your face.” It’s impossible to tell who. he was referring, perhaps to the centre-right mayoral candidate, Eike Schmidt, perhaps to some centre-right exponents or perhaps to others from the far left. “Pierguidi’s offensive post is yet another demonstration of the arrogance of the Democratic Party – underlined Massimo Sabatini, candidate. leader of the municipal council in the civic list Eike Schmidt Mayor -. candidates of all political colors were present, including the mayoral candidate of the Democratic Party and several candidates for the center-left in the neighborhoods and in the city council, as well as candidates from the center-right in the years gone by they sat in other sectors, regularly buying tickets.”

Sabatini then went into the merits of an electoral campaign that could change the fate of the last of the red forts. “Despite the wind of change blowing ever stronger in Florence, the establishment of this Democratic Party continues to think that the institutions are theirs, including those most intrinsically linked to the city’s identity, and perceive the participation of other political forces as an annoying pitch invasion. An annoyance expressed in vulgar and threatening terms, which are the opposite of the elegance of our procession and the basic principle of respect for the opponent. All this is a symptom of how low the so-called ruling class has fallen class has nothing”. The center-right candidate for the presidency of District 2, Simone Sollazzo, also spoke on the topic with a video: “Phrases from a real bully. Sara Funaro, champion of plural Florence, has nothing to say? Fans of political correctness don’t comment?”.
