“We hired a pretty blonde secretary”: the sexist ad from the Forza Italia office in Taranto

“Donna, Good to see, blonde“These are the first requirements that are needed to be hired as secretary administrative at the headquarters of Go Italy in Taranto. This is what we read in a post-announcement published on the Facebook page of the Berlusconian party headquarters in the Ionian capital, on Viale Virgilio. To have a job, therefore, one must be a woman of beautiful presence, then it is important to have blonde hair. Only in third place the excellent knowledge of the office package, therefore the availability of one car (‘automunita’) and the residence in Taranto. The post was deleted and after a while another one appeared, probably from the page administrator (who, however, does not sign), explaining that a post was published “with a job offer discriminatory and sexist. I would like to apologize – she continues – to all the people who have read the post because I was not aware of this. profile manipulation by someone who worked on the computer ”. It was, at least according to the ad, a part-time job to be done in political seat, which provided for a payment of 10 euros per hour.

The Apulian 5 Star Movement stigmatizes the fact that the ad posted on the page “was removed only today from August 18 due to negative user comments. A shame that we hope an immediate apology of the party and the entire coalition, in which we remember him, the president of the equal opportunities commission is also appointed Patrizia Del Giudice. Removing the position is not enough, we need a firm position from the center-right candidates and the candidate for the presidency Raffaele Fitto”, Affirm the pentastellati of Apulia.

The regional commissioner of Go Italy, Mauro D’Attis, and the Deputy Commissioner, Dario Damiani. They explain that the party “has nothing to do with the job advertisement, sexist and in bad taste, that is running on social networks about the search for a secretary in Taranto. The person who posted the ad has no role in our party and therefore has no title to use the Forza Italia name. Also, the indicated workplace is not a Fi office either. We will consult with our lawyers about the possibility of taking legal action also for any damage to the image caused ”, they assure.
