The unfortunate exit of Victor Feltridirector of “Il Giornale” has been making the rounds in Italy amidst criticism and also support. Because, while Feltri came out with the racist phrase “Salis dressed as a waitress from Catanzaro”there are even those who have agreed with him. Forgetting, therefore, to separate political affiliation from simple respect for others.
Nicholas Flowerymayor of Catanzaro, has “taken back” Feltri accusing him, precisely, of racism and declaring that he would have taken legal action against him for the offense to women, especially to the women of Catanzaro who run businesses that keep the city’s economy going.
The pride of the waitresses of Catanzaro

That’s enough for me. But we must not make the mistake of lowering our guard in the defense of our land and our children.
Proud of our wonderful women who with dignity, elegance and professionalism every day carry out a very important job for the reception and for the families. Also for them I have the obligation to continue in my battle, together with many Calabrian mayors, so that there is only one Italy, in solidarity, where all citizens must have the same opportunities.
