A simple shot has sparked a storm on social against the Sardines, accused of being “in the service of the powers that be”. The founders of the movement antisovranista, Mattia Santori , Roberto Morotti , Giulia Trappoloni and Andrea Garreffa , after the visit to the ” foundation “Fabrica” in Treviso – a cultural centre that was created by Luciano Benetton and directed by Oliviero Toscani – have taken a photo, shared on social, in which are portraits, in addition to young guests of the centre, the entrepreneur from the veneto region, and the photographer close to the democratic Party.

Immediate attacks from various political forces, which put dance in the case of Motorways, such as Giorgia Meloni Fdis which writes on Twitter: “The #sardines to the court of Luciano Benetton, head of the family, which controls Atlantia and Autostrade spa. Ends in ridicule of the fable of the ‘movement’ popular, spontaneous and alternative to the “powers that be”. Also Stefano Buffagni , deputy minister cinquestelle economic Development, attacks on Facebook: “sardines in a pilgrimage into the world of Benetton with a lot of photos with Luciano… We sure worlds we’ve always fought, after the collapse of the bridge of Genoa and of the 43 victims even more…”.

But the founders of Sardines replicate: “A photo does not make a summer. When the boys have asked us to do a group photo it seemed like a legitimate request. We do not have thought that that photo would be manipulated to bind the Sardines to the powers that be, to the highway concessions, to the social and environmental issues related to industrial production of clothing in the world.”

“Down, and who is believed to be able to reopen the negotiations between the government and Autostrade per l’italia in only four hours. Fail,” wrote the Sardines, “anyone who thinks that meeting of the twenty-somethings interested in the link between creativity and socio-political issues is an endorsement of a model of development that in many occasions has been proven to be not sustainable”. Sorry for all the Sardines that in these hours they had to respond to attacks that have nothing to do with the spirit of this meeting”.

the founders of The movement have also explained that the visit was organized on invitation of Oliviero Toscani to start a comparison with the boys and think about how innovation and communication policy can interact and help each other. The protagonists of the meeting were the boys”. “At the end of the meeting is the past, Luciano Benetton”, explained the four founders of Sardines, “to greet and listen to part of the debate”.

“The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence”
