Reggio Emilia, mayor and council sing and play in a club: the controversy starts

by admin

A video of the mayor Luca Vecchi at a Christmas party in an indoor club, together with other exponents of the center-left majority, is arousing political controversy in Reggio Emilia, while they sing “Bella Ciao”, without masks. The images were disseminated via whatsapp and also reached some members of the opposition, who stigmatized the behavior of the mayor.

«These” gentlemen “are the same as the appeals they themselves made to the people of Reggio, with courtly, severe tones and frowning eyebrows. Too bad they only apply to others. Prudence and even doctors on the occasion of the holidays vanish in the intoxication of the notes of “Bella Ciao” ​​», say Gianluca Nicolini, provincial coordinator Forza Italia and Davide Ganapini, provincial councilor and deputy coordinator.

For Maria Edera Spadoni, vice president of the Chamber and exponent of the 5 Star Movement “politics must set an example, out of respect for those who suffer and are struggling, for the health workers of our public health who are at their last resort and for those who are not there. ‘has done’. «A gesture of public apology on the part of the mayor and of those who too lightly made that minimum gesture by broadcasting that video is the minimum. I urge everyone to follow the recommendations for these holidays. Spacing, mask, ventilate the rooms, do not create gatherings, no hugs. In a nutshell: avoid everything you see in this photo, ”said the deputy.

And, at the Ansa, the mayor of Reggio Emilia, Luca Vecchi, replying to the controversy on the video said: «It was a context in which those present did not endanger anyone. It seems clear to me the presence of a high degree of political exploitation and above all a lack of information to adequately contextualize ».

«That video – explains Vecchi – dates back to 20 December. So before the decree and in a very different situation from today. In a place in the city where the majority councilors’ dinner was taking place. A place where everyone has entered with Green Pass, vaccinated and after having checked the fever. In the Bianca area. There was no gathering in progress. A simple dinner in full compliance with the basic rules of the White area, however, with few people present. At the end of the dinner for a few minutes a song among a few present. A song that continues to annoy some politicians ». «Can it be evaluated as a lightness? There is. But the complexity of what we are going through shouldn’t sacrifice common sense to political exploitation. The fundamental rules were respected », continues the mayor.
