“I understand the upcoming ballot but from those who are running to lead our city I believe that a bit of seriousness is first and foremost necessary”
“Schmidt, speaking of the stadium, went from Vasari and Brunelleschi to Vannacci and Donzelli. From being a member of the commission that chose and praised the project yesterday, he has moved on today to wanting to block the work. I understand the upcoming ballot but as someone who is running to lead our city I believe that a bit of seriousness is first and foremost necessary. Unfortunately this is not the case and we can see that he is desperate. The Municipality has never stopped anyone from building a new stadium. Instead, tell us where he would have it built. The truth is another: we must prevent Franchi from becoming the same as Flaminio and above all we must allow us Viola fans to be able to attend the matches of our favorite team in a stadium worthy of the name. All the European clubs, from Real Madrid to Barcelona, and Italian ones, from Atalanta to Udinese, played with reduced capacity or even in another facility while their stadium was being renovated. But Schmidt probably knows as much about football as he knows about Florence: few ideas and very confused”. This is how Andrea Vannucci, regional councilor of the Democratic Party, comments on the statements of mayoral candidate Eike Schmidt.
