As a result, he withdrew his candidacy.
In Italy, a politician publicly cut his hand to swear on his “blood” that he will fulfill his campaign promises.
Need To Know writes about this.
Video footage shows parliamentary candidate Michele Calvani speaking at a rally in front of a crowd gathered in a square in Pescara.
He appeared before voters with his shirt sleeve rolled up. Michele soon confuses those present by taking out a blade and cutting his hand, as if forming a “blood pact” with his constituents.
He sheds blood, declaring: “I swear to all of you that until the last moment of my life, I will work tirelessly to fulfill the promises I made to you, and I will never lie.” < /p>
The surreal scenes prompted his leadership in the Pescara Futura party to ask him to withdraw from the race. Calvani complied with their request. The now former candidate told local media: “I decided to run because I firmly believe in the political actions of (outgoing mayor) Carlo Masci and the center-right coalition. But also because over the years I have noticed a widespread disengagement of citizens from policy that is progressing. That is why I wanted to make my promises strong and reliable in every possible way. I wanted to ensure maximum commitment to them. So I explored all forms of communication, even resorting to yesterday's symbolic gesture. Only then did I realize that it could. cause controversy among voters. That is why I decided to withdraw my candidacy from this race, as demanded by the leaders of my party.”
Recall that recently a German politician licked the seat of a public toilet and made a mustache out of feces, like Hitler’s. The party withdrew his political candidacy.
