NAPLES - “I am a free citizen, I want to go to Rome to say stop to weapons. Who can stop me?” With these words, Rita De Crescenzo, a well-known Neapolitan influencer, takes to social media after the uproar caused by her announcement that she wants to participate in the 5 Star Movement demonstration scheduled for April 5 in Rome, Entitled “Stop the weapons”.
Through a series of videos published on TikTok and Instagram, De Crescenzo defends his freedom of expression and the right to participate in a pacifist demonstration, rejecting the criticism received online. “Nobody called me, I want to go of my own free will”, he claims. “Why can’t I decide to feed myself with other things and send a positive message to my followers? I want to make myself useful, I want to take a bus or a train and go to Rome. Who’s stopping me?”
A message that mixes idealism and personal vindication, between emotional phrases and the feeling – as she herself recounts – of always being at the center of prejudices and attacks. “I didn't hurt anyone”, to be continued. “Why do you always want to put spokes in my wheels? I didn’t kill, I didn’t crucify anyone. I just want to express my thoughts.”
In a subsequent video, filmed while talking to an alleged journalist, De Crescenzo categorically denies the idea of a possible rapprochement with politics: “Me running with M5S? But I don’t even know what M5S means, I don’t understand Italian, I don’t even know how to speak well.” Then she vents her anger against the label that is still stuck on her today: “Why do you always have to point me out as a Camorrista or a criminal? When politicians are the ones who have ties to certain circles. And yet they always talk about me.”
