Racism, meeting with Juan Jesus organised: De Laurentiis also involved

Juan Jesus and Aurelio De Laurentiis together for a conference on racism: where and when the meeting will be held.

The Naples during the season he made headlines mainly for some really negative results. Ever since Rudi arrived Garcia on the Azzurri bench, Napoli have never seen the team that scared the whole of Europe last year.

Over the course of the season, the situation became increasingly worse. Napoli have offered performances that are increasingly bordering on decency and among these there is certainly the 0-4 defeat in the Italian Cup against Frosinone in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup.

The Napleshowever, went up in the limelight also for a rather unpleasant episode. On the occasion of Inter-Napoli, Francesco Unripe would have uttered a racist phrase towards Juan Jesus. After the Nerazzurri defender apologized on the pitch, everything ended in a stalemate due to a lack of evidence.

Juan Jesus and De Laurentiis together against racism

The decision of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office not to punish Acerbi’s alleged gesture made many fans across Italy and also Napoli turn up their noses.

A few months after the episode, however, Juan Jesus and the blue patron, Aurelio De Laurentiis, will return to talking about the issue of racism.

The two, in fact, will participate in the conference “Is Italy a racist country?” which will be held on May 27th at 10:30 am at the conference center Jambo Of Trentola Ducenta. He will moderate the meeting Carlo Alvino. In addition to De Laurentiis and Juan Jesus, there will also be other guests such as Mimma D’Amicomanager of the former Canapificio social center in Caserta e Mamodou Kouassiwhich inspired the film “Io Capitano”.

The participation of Juan Jesus and De Laurentiis follows what was a promise from Napoli following the sentence that acquitted Acerbi several months ago. Napoli was deeply upset by the decision of the Federal Prosecutor’s Office and declared that it would no longer participate in any initiative promoted by the Lega Serie A. In fact, on more than one occasion, Giovanni Di Lorenzo took the field without the captain’s armband that promoted a certain message.

Instead of joining the initiatives of the Lega Serie A, Napoli promised to participate in other initiatives that were completely different from those of the championship as they were not “mere façade”. The conference on May 27th, therefore, falls precisely in this case.
