"In America, gay men are all the rage. Here, men and women exist, there are no tracks... All of them in there, in the crematorium in Cava di Tirreni, and we've solved the problem... you can call Mattarella and he'll give me a hard time, understand?"
These, report Antinoo Arcigay Naples and Pride Vesuvio, "These are some of the shocking statements uttered by Carmine Alfano, director of the School of Specialization in Plastic Surgery at the University of Salerno and candidate for mayor of Torre Annunziata, denounced by the Associazione Liberi Specializzandi (Als) and reported in the online edition of L'Espresso."
"Some of the sexist insults and homophobic rThe comments reported in the article, the two associations explain, are addressed to the same interns. It is precisely they who, fed up with the harassing atmosphere created by the head physician, recorded them to bring them to the attention of the public.
A climate of poor professionalism and abuse of power is not new within the specialist schools at the San Giovanni di Dio and Ruggi d'Aragona hospital.
The association, it is recalled, "he had already reported disrespectful and over-the-top attitudes on the part of the directors in the past."
"We are shocked and shocked to learn," said Antonello Sannino, president of Antinoo Arcigay Napoli, and Danilo Di Leo, president of Pride Vesuvio, "of the homophobic and Nazi statements attributed to Alfano.
"Extremely serious and unacceptable statements"
The shock is even greater if we relate it to the fact that Alfano himself a few days ago on radiopride.lgbt declared himself in favor of recognizing the civil rights of LGBTQIA+ people and rainbow families. These are very serious and unacceptable statements for any citizen, even more so for those who run for a role in democratic institutions and teach in a public university.
Therefore, hoping that the judiciary and the University of Salerno will promptly shed light on the facts, we consider these statements incompatible with his candidacy for mayor and his position as a university professor. Alfano must immediately prove his complete innocence or resign from his position as a professor and withdraw his candidacy for mayor.
