Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala on Wednesday blasted the trend for Italian politicians to take to TikTok to seek the votes of young people ahead of the September 25 general election.
Ex-premiers Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Renzi, the respective
leaders of centre-right party Forza Italia and the centrist
Italia Viva (IV), recently joined the platform as did former
industry minister Carlo Calenda, whose Azione group is allied
with IV.
League leader Matteo Salvini, 5-Star Movement (M5S) Chief
Giuseppe Conte and Giorgio Meloni, the head of the right-wing
Brothers of Italy (FdI) party and the favourite to be Italy's
next premier, are also on TikTok.
Sala attacked the trend as he presented the schedule for the
next Milano Fashion Week.
"This year Fashion Week will use TikTok a great deal, probably
doing it better than many the politicians who have embarked on
this social network in a somewhat pitiful way," the centre-left
politician said.
"Some politicians cross the bounds of human dignity".
