A new protest by the fans of Napoli took shape with an ironic and provocative manifesto attacking the club's president, Aurelio De Laurentiis.Signed from the A and B curves of the Maradona stadium, the poster appeared throughout the city during the night, attracting the attention of residents and passers-by.
The text of the manifesto begins with a sarcastic criticism: “You were funny when you were running away on your scooter but now your film has slipped out of your hands.” This reference plays on images of De Laurentiis on a scooter, once viewed with sympathy by fans, but now used to attack him. The poster goes on to denounce the president's alleged excessive ego and accuses him of a lack of planning and respect towards the city and its fans.
The disappointment towards the team is also highlighted, blamed for a disappointing season and perceived as distant from the values and passion of the city. There is no shortage of criticism of the press, accused of being too accommodating towards the president and of not giving voice to the requests of the fans.
The manifesto ends with suggestive images, including that of De Laurentiis in Arab clothes and a sinking Napoli ship, symbols that reflect the growing dissatisfaction and discontent of the fans towards the president's management.
