Nicola Fiorita expresses solidarity with Matilde Siracusano and president Roberto Occhiuto and attacks Roberto Vannacci for using a retouched photo on social media. The mayor of Catanzaro intervenes on Facebook, defining the attack on the parliamentarian as “cowardly”. «This unworthy way of doing politics, which uses every means to destroy the opponent through falsehoods, fake news and dossiers, truly represents the modern form of the truncheon and castor oil and must be rejected with absolute force, without any compromise and without any concession», writes Fiorita.

The mayor then hopes that the bipartisan condemnation goes beyond the use of artificial intelligence: “I hope that the bipartisan condemnation of Vannacci does not stop at the improper use of artificial intelligence and also extends to the use of human stupidity that characterizes the thoughts and actions of a racist party that wants to take our history back a hundred or more years.” The conclusion of the post is equally clear: «The retouched photo of the political opponent disgusts as much as the Mediterranean patriarchy disgusts».
