Florence, 8 September 2020 – Threats and insults received by phone and via the web: this is how a restaurant in Pontassieve (Florence) explains that it has to give up hosting an electoral lunch with Matteo Salvini tomorrow after the leader of the League meets the people at the market in Piazza Washington at 12.30. The renunciation of this restaurant, the Sunset in via Di Vittorio, follows after a few days that of another restaurant in the province of Florence, the Centanni restaurant in Bagno a Ripoli whose owners on 28 August, for similar reasons, preferred to cancel a lunch with 100 people with Salvini and Susanna Ceccardi. “Here with us a lunch was scheduled for tomorrow with about 40 people with Matteo Salvini, but now it is no longer done, too many people threatened us by phone, ignorant people and we prefer to stop – they explain from the Pontassieve restaurant – We are very sorry about what is happening around us in these hours ». Negative comments on Salvini’s presence in the exercise also appear in the reviews space left on the Internet at this time. But «what would have been tomorrow for us was just a lunch and not a flag of our political orientation – the managers add – The lunch was canceled due to the many threats received even by telephone. We would have accepted any political party simply thinking of doing our job and we would never have expected so much evil. Our job is to cook and we hope to be judged for this and nothing else. Our restaurant has always been open to everyone we have never rejected or offended someone for political, sexual, cultural differences ». «The appointment was canceled, as happened also in Bagno a Ripoli, due to threats and insults – observed by Matteo Salvini’s staff -. Even if in a period of crisis, restaurateurs cannot work if the customers are Lega Nord ”.
