The politician connected to a session of the Development and Territory commission from a wellness centre.
Controversy breaks out in Alessandria around Vincenzo Demarte, vice president of the Province and group leader of Forza Italia in the Municipality. During today's Development and Territory commission, Tuesday 13 October, the politician connected via videoconference directly from a wellness centre, appearing in a bathrobe and, for a few moments, even bare-chested.
The scene live from the spa was broadcast both in the Council chamber and streamed on YouTube. On the Municipality channel of the social platform, however, after a few hours the "incriminated" video was no longer available, unlike those of the other sessions.
The grotesque "live" immediately sparked controversy. City councilor Vittoria Oneto expressed "deep bitterness", underlining that "the decorum of the institutions depends on everyday actions" and that "such carelessness damages the trust of citizens and young people in democracy, right after a council session dedicated to them".
The Democratic Party also harshly contested the councilor's credibility, wondering "what credibility" a representative of the institutions could have after a similar scene. The interested party justifies himself: "It was a technical error - said Demarte - I was convinced that the camera was turned off".
