It did so due to “the widespread and progressive distancing from politics by citizens.”
During an electoral rally in Piazza Salotto in Pescara, Michele Calvani, candidate of Pescara Futura, made a strong gesture by cutting his arm in front of the public present using a knife that he hid in his pocket. The accident occurred during his speech, leaving those present stunned and immediately prompting the intervention of the emergency services. The fact reported by La7.
Michele Calvani, candidate for councilor for the Pescara Futura list, “after my strong and intense gesture I decided to withdraw my candidacy”
Declares:
I ran because I strongly believe in the political action of Carlo Masci and the centre-right coalition, but also because I have seen, in recent years, the widespread and progressive distancing from politics by citizens. For this reason I wanted in every way to make my promises to the voters strong and credible; I wanted to guarantee my maximum commitment towards them. So I tried every form of communication until yesterday’s emblematic gesture. Only after doing so did I realize that it may have generated dissent in the electorate. For this reason I have decided to withdraw my candidacy from this competition as requested by the managers of my List.
