“Shooting you would give me mental and economic relief, as you will surely become one of those parasites who suck my blood.” This is the text of the message sent via Facebook to the page of the centre-right mayoral candidate Fabio Romito, who today filed a complaint with Digos. A threatening phrase resulting from the poisoned climate of this tail end of the electoral campaign”, Romito saidrecalling the continuous attacks of the last few days on issues that have nothing to do with the electoral campaign in Bari and which have intensified with the reactions, mounted at a local level with express electoral aims, following the approval of the decree law on autonomy differentiated.
“Throughout the electoral campaign, there was an attempt to label me as a candidate of the League, and not of the united centre-right that indicated and supported me, responsible for an alleged split in the country. Since yesterday – despite attempts to explain that the decree on the autonomy, which historically arises from the Title V reform desired by the center left, with the Lep (essential levels of equal services in each region) constitutes an opportunity to overcome the gaps between the services offered in the southern regions, for example at a healthcare level , and in those of the North, which exist now, in the absence of differentiated autonomy – the “attacks” of my political opponent, and of all those who support him, including the media, have multiplied, speaking of a non-existent embarrassment on my part . At the same time, I immediately noticed the multiplication of offensive messages, up to this last one which alarmed those who manage my page, which pushed me to report the person who wrote it, but also this unsustainable climate. I don’t know why a young 36-year-old candidate is so scary, but I don’t intend to give up my fight for freedom.”
