«A waitress from Catanzaro: the lowest thing imaginable.” Thus the editor of the newspaper Vittorio Feltriin a video published yesterday on the newspaper’s TikTok profile, describes the MEP’s clothing Ilaria Salis commenting on a photo of her wearing a white floral summer dress and open-toed wedge shoes. «A sensational photograph», comments Feltri without hiding the irony. “It is usually said that clothes don’t make one look like a monk, but they do make an idiot”, adds the journalist from Bergamo who has no qualms about judging the MEP’s physical appearance. «Two beautiful sturdy legs emerge from the dress, like those of an athlete, but the rest is unwatchable». Acidic comments also for the activist, politician and commander Carola Rackete, just elected to the European Parliament with the German left-wing party Die Linke, under whose dress, which Feltri defines “something that covers it”, «two legs full of hair appear that look like those of a Spal full-back. A scary thing.” Feltri then refers to the “poor curly black man” immortalized together with the two MEPs and Mimmo Lucano. The mayor of Catanzaro Nicola Fioritapublishing the video on his Instagram profile, attacked the newspaper’s director: “Vittorio Feltri the true face of Padania. We will take him to court for his unacceptable insults to our city and for his racist phrases. These are the champions of differentiated autonomy. He should be ashamed and if he has a minimum of decency he should apologize to Catanzaro and to the women who toil in bars and restaurants with great dignity. Ever more determined to resist the bullying and arrogance of the Padanians”.
