The mystery of the anonymous advertising pages that appeared yesterday in some national and local newspapers and in which the Friulian people were generally given a voice by reiterating that “racism does not belong to us” has been revealed.
The purchaser was directly ‘paron’ Gianpaolo Pozzo, who revealed it to the Friulian newspaper Messaggero Veneto.
Yesterday the company claimed that it was not involved in the matter. Faced with growing insistence from the fans, the owner instead admitted that he personally paid for the advertising campaign.
“Our territory – he explained to the newspaper on newsstands today – is the victim of an injustice. Our public has always stood out for its correct behaviour, it is no coincidence that we received two discipline cups while after what happened in the match against Milan we ‘It was almost a media persecution which I consider certainly disproportionate compared to the facts which involved only 5 people out of 25 thousand who, among other things, didn’t notice anything.” “For this reason – he concluded – we decided to send a clear message against racism but we didn’t want only Udinese to speak and therefore we decided to promote an anonymous campaign, so that all Friulians could identify themselves”.
