«A joke». That someone, he claims, at this stage of the electoral campaign wanted to turn against him: " Maybe because they saw the consensus I'm receiving."
Pietro Pinna doesn't hold back: «Yes, I sent those audios to a friend. But it was a joke." A former retired soldier, 56 years old, he is a candidate for the regional council with the Rotondi DC (centre-right) in the Gallura constituency. And it is he who talks about the tours in the countries in the company of six «very beautiful women who support me during my meetings with people. If you show up alone,” he says in the vocal, “you're a talking beaten dog. Instead with these six very beautiful friends of mine. Two are dressed in leather trousers and boots, two in miniskirts and two leopard-print, with nice open shirts that are nice to see."
Those messages made the rounds on WhatsApp chats. And they also reached the presidential candidate for Campo Largo, Alessandra Todde, who called them "an absolute disgrace".
Pinna explains: «I am an ironic person who has always joked with friends, respecting everyone. As for women, there are many supporters who are supporting me in this pre-voting phase. I would never allow myself to insult his figure."
The candidate does not back down and relaunches: «I am the offended party», he accuses, «the contents were sent to someone who I thought was a friend, but he wasn't a friend».
The underlining, then: «Now everyone is talking about these vowels. But it is not said that I am working to listen to the people, the workers, the pastors, in a 360 degree electoral campaign. I will bring their requests to the regional council." Where he expects to be elected: " Well, if someone is a candidate, they aspire to be elected", underlines Pinna, "I am a person respected and well-liked by everyone".
