Napoli – Ha un seguito da milioni di visualizzazioni, è costantemente in diretta sui social e non disdegna le passerelle televisive. Eppure, per la legge, Rita De Crescenzo è una “irreperibile”.
The paradox emerges from a judicial notification addressed to the well-known Neapolitan TikTok user: since she couldn't be reached at the indicated address, the bailiff had to deposit the documents at the Town Hall, following the procedure established for registry "ghosts."
The vice of form
The filing notices, published on the notice board of the City of Naples, certify that the notification could not be made in the usual manner. This outcome is at odds with De Crescenzo's pervasive media presence and once again shines a spotlight on her somewhat casual relationship with bureaucracy.
Borrelli: "Only the state can find him."
Taking up the issue and reviving it is Francesco Emilio Borrelli, a member of Parliament for the Green-Left Alliance, who has long been the target of the influencer's social media outbursts. "It's strange," the MP comments, "that someone with a constant presence on social media, a frequent guest on television talk shows, and always ready to attack institutions, is then unavailable when it comes to receiving official documents."
Borrelli doesn't limit himself to the paradox of the moment, but broadens his scope, recalling the climate of tension fueled by De Crescenzo. "Let's not forget that she has repeatedly called on other TikTok users to attack me, even going so far as to invoke circles of the so-called 'Naples underworld' to silence me. This is extremely serious behavior that I have already reported."
The precedent of the denied vote
But there's a precedent that makes the story even more emblematic. "In the last regional elections," Borrelli reveals, "De Crescenzo herself, who was sponsoring a Forza Italia candidate, showed up at the Pallonetto polling station but was unable to vote. She was not registered in the electoral register because she hadn't communicated her change of residence. This is a reckless handling of her administrative duties, to say the least, that raises more than a few doubts."
For the MP, in short, history repeats itself. "Those who attack institutions and demand media visibility," he concludes, "should be equally transparent and accessible when the institutions seek them out. The rules apply to everyone, online and in real life."
Interesting news; it seems paradoxical, but I don't think it's that simple. Rita seems to always be present online, but she's unavailable at the offices. People are confused. The laws may not be working, and no one explains anything. Who's right? Borrelli speaks out, but the facts remain unclear. Clarity from the competent authorities is needed.
