Even football is being included in the Tempio Pausania municipal election campaign, and tensions are skyrocketing.
Tempio Calcio president Salvatore Sechi signed a very harsh statement this afternoon (published on the club's official social media channels). The Galletti president referred to a meeting with Gianna Masu , the candidate for the Con Tempio Fronte Comune list.
Sechi, among other things, writes: «In view of the runoff for the election of the mayor of Tempio, I felt it was my duty, as president of Tempio Calcio, to meet the candidates to find out their ideas and their plans on sport and the future of the city's sports facilities».
"I began this discussion," he writes, "by meeting Gianna Masu yesterday at her Tempio headquarters. Unfortunately, I was deeply disappointed by the meeting. I expected preparation, knowledge of the local sports scene, and a concrete vision for the future of sports in Tempio. Instead, I found her completely unprepared, especially regarding the world of local football , to the point of not even knowing the league in which Tempio Calcio competes. Even more surprisingly, I was accused, in a rude and offensive tone, of being an "emissary" for other candidates and insistently asked for the name of the person who would "send" me to this meeting."
"I would like to point out," he continues, "that I am a president who has been involved in football for over 30 years , dedicating time, energy, and personal sacrifice to this organization. Together with my team, we have invested hundreds of thousands of euros of our own money over the years, out of pure passion for the sport and for young people. Those who know me know that our sole interest is the good of Tempio Calcio and the sport of Tempio, without any financial or political compensation. For this reason, I found it particularly unpleasant to be greeted and dismissed with the accusation, expressed in a rude and offensive manner, of being an 'emissary' for other people."
So far, there has been no official response from the candidate for the Con Tempio Common Front, but sources close to Gianna Masu have reportedly said the Tempio president's statements are considered a very serious attack.
