Di Maio: “Calenda snob radical chic, it hurts humble workers”
“If he went to eat a pizza, he went to see what happens in the real world”. Luigi Di Maio returns to Carlo Calenda’s comments regarding “soft drinks sellers”, accusing the Action leader of seeing the world “upside down”. Interviewed on RaiNews24, the foreign minister claimed the experiences that preceded his arrival in parliament with the 5-star Movement: you work as “the waiter, the stewart, the bricklayer” he was doing until “10 years ago”.
“When Calenda uses that radical chic snobbery, he is hurting those humble workers,” Di Maio said, reiterating that “they have nothing to be ashamed of, especially if they run their family.”
“I see an upside-down world in which I see politicians attacking young people who do menial jobs because they do menial jobs,” added the former leader of the M5s, now an ally of the Democratic Party with Together for the future.
Last Tuesday Calenda had argued that an entrepreneur would not take to run a business “a person who, for example, has been a seller of soft drinks”, and the same should be done by citizens when they vote. “Dear Calenda, even a ‘soft drink seller’ deserves respect”, Di Maio replied on social media. βThe culture of hatred and contempt that you feed is classist and discriminating. Those who have been less fortunate than you in life, and have done menial jobs, cannot be denigrated and put on the margins of society β. The response of the former Minister of Economic Development is ready: β’every job has the exact same dignity, whether you are an ecological operator or a nuclear physicist you have the right to the same respect. But not every job prepares to govern a country. ‘ This is what I repeat and you are the living proof of it Luigi Di Maio β, Calenda had said.
