«Disgusting. An absolute shame." This is the tough stance taken by Alessandra Todde , candidate for governor of Campo Largo, after a "sexist" audio of a presumed center-right candidate for the Sardinia regional council began circulating in chat rooms on the web, also taken up by some agencies.
In the file - for many real, for others a sort of "joke" in very poor taste - the voice boasts thus: «I use six scantily clad women to attract attention. Two are dressed in leather trousers and boots, two in mini skirts and two in leopard print. With nice open shirts." And again: «If you show up alone to give a rally, you're a beaten dog who doesn't hold court. With this system they follow you to the last comma and look at my friend's thighs: I can talk until six and they all stay there. At the end, one by one, they bow to the gentlemen and distribute my holy card."
For Todde, who dedicated a long post on Facebook to the story, it is the "commodification of the female body exploited in the electoral campaign in order to recover some votes" . «Not only - adds the Campo Largo candidate - this is morally reprehensible, but it is also an insult to the intelligence of Sardinian voters. I am proud – concludes Todde – to have many women candidates at my side and to represent a coalition that defends the rights of all women."
