“In the last few hours we have witnessed a violent and shameful personal attack on the candidate for mayor of Caltanissetta, Annalisa Petittowhich has nothing to do with normal political dialectics, especially on the part of some Nisseni exponents of the M5s who, in addition to personal insults, publish photos of the candidate Petitto upside down (then removed following numerous protests and reports), worthy of the darkest fascist period“. The says it provincial president of the Caltanissetta PD, Massimo Arena.
“Probably these exponents stimulated by the endorsement of the former mayor Gambino and the former president of the city council Magrí for the center-right candidate and are not satisfied with having accompanied each other (complete with photos and videos that appeared on various social networks), during the first round, to away criminals who spread false and defamatory news, they saw fit to promote a campaign of incitement to hatred against the only female candidate who was only to blame with her tenacity, her competence, her programs and the his smile, of having (democratically) beaten the outgoing mayor in the first round – adds Arena – On behalf of the provincial Democratic Party, I express all my solidarity with Annalisa Petitto for these shameful attacks – she continues – and I hope that the regional and national exponents of the M5s and the centre-right candidate for mayor will take a stand and also express their solidarity with the candidate Petitto, taking action to put an end to the mud machine and hate speech which could have serious and uncontrolled consequences“.
