"A normal man looks at a woman's beautiful ass and maybe even tries. Then if he succeeds... If he doesn't succeed, he goes home instead": these are some of the new phrases that the mayor of Terni Stefano Bandecchi has pronounced in the city council during the discussion of an act proposed by minorities on gender violence.
After which the opposition left the chamber.
Speaking after an FdI exponent and referring to an old interview of his, Bandecchi said that "all the male Italians understood me, at least the normal ones and by normal I mean sane".
"And all the normal females - he continued - understood me. Having said that, it is true that Italy is full of imbeciles and I understand that it is a problem for some to understand my words which I claim all of them, one by one... Now, get as offended as you want, but this is my idea and you can do what you want with it. You have to decide whether you want to vote on a gender violence amendment or not."
"I have never killed any woman - Bandecchi underlined -, I have not hit any woman and I am not aware of having had complaints from women. If you want to do something about gender violence, fine. Otherwise Popular Alternative is free to choose what to vote for : I will vote against this amendment because you, whether from the right or the left, don't have to teach me anything. Normal people understood what I wanted to say."
