Venice, Cavarzere’s candidate copies the program from a Brescia list
Among the school desks we know that, if you want, you have to know how to do it. Because if it is not done well the result is worse than that of handing over a blank sheet. Service skills, the one that the authors of the electoral program of the candidate for mayor of the center-left list «Idea per Cavarzere», in the Venetian, obviously lacked.
“United for Castegnato”
A few days after the vote, in fact, Paolo Fontolan outgoing deputy mayor, he found himself with a lot of trouble because the program shows “paro paro” an entire excerpt of another electoral program. The one with whom, in 2019, the list was presented “United for Castegnato»In the homonymous town in the province of Brescia. Sophisticated software was not needed to find the plagiarism, because in the program the town of Brescia is literally mentioned: «The social services of Castegnato will always be available to all those who care». A classic case of “copy paste” with controversy, which broke out as soon as Fontolan’s electoral programs appeared on the town’s website and of the opponents Andrea Fumana candidate of the center right with «L’altra Cavarzere» and Pierfrancesco Munari of the civic «Munari mayor».
Great regret
It is there that one of the supporters of the opponents discovered the “copy paste“And immediately relaunched it on Facebook, dragging the candidate and his list into a fuss:” We were wrong – Fontalan explains -, and I do not intend to shirk the political responsibility of this error even if many people are involved in the editing of these programs and often peek at the works of others because some contents they can be shared. But I was wrong not to check and now I pay the consequences. What hurts is that for this reason I have been the object of personal attacks and also on my profession ». As well as an administrator, Paolo Fontolan is in fact a teacher of classical subjects in high schools. The error for him therefore risks weighing twice as much. This is why he is the first to give himself the vote: «We certainly deserve a four – he concludes -, but I would be sorry if only this could be seen of our program and our projects. I believe that in this election campaign we are giving other proofs that deserve a vote much higher and therefore we hope to remedy and avoid a rejection without appeal ».
