Insults, death threats and hate messages have arrived to the mayor of Vezzano sul Crostolo (Reggio Emilia), Stefano Vescovi, after his comment under a video published on Saturday on Instagram by the world champion and former Inter flag Marco Materazzi who shared it, making his personal details public.
Materazzi insulted by the mayor of Vezzano
The case is reported by the local press. “Shame on Italian football. Miracle”, posted the mayor, 36 years old, just re-elected (civic list, also supported by the Democratic Party) of the Reggio Emilia municipality. A message that did not please the former Nerazzurri footballer, who went to check who that profile belonged to. “I took a photo, posted it and an individual wrote me nonsense and, what’s more, not related to the Italian national team – he wrote on social media – Intrigued, I looked up his profile and realized he was following me. At this point I tried to understand his unhappiness!” Materazzi then posted a photo of Vescovi with a Juve shirt: “We can’t all have the same faith, but the most shameful thing is that this person is a mayor in office. Sorry, I usually don’t even consider them, but someone who should do good for the community should be rewarded”. And, next to it, an emoticon of a clown.
Death threats to the mayor
An avalanche of insults and death threats would then reach the mayor of Reggio Emilia via social media from supporters of Materazzi who has over a million followers, so much so that the same social network would have contacted Vescovi by sending him a link to block all his profiles. «My comment concerns a video in which I saw Materazzi in all his historical attitudes: kicks, punches, insults, broken lips of players, interventions like in prison – comments Vescovi – He is not an example and my message was this. I received a call from Instagram to deactivate all my social media due to death threats directed at me, my wife and my two children. Sad story. Certainly from this experience the warning to use social media in a much more careful manner has come. In the future I invite him not to publicly shame anyone, or possibly just me, considering that my wife and children had nothing to do with it. There are people who can’t handle certain things.”
