<p>Controversy continues over <strong>Sanremo 2020 festival</strong> for the participation of the rapper <strong>Junior Cally</strong>, author of a song about women killed. After the harsh attack of <strong>Gessica Notaro</strong>, the police union also intervened.
The general secretary of Mosap, Fabio D’onestà, he told Adnkronos: “Junior Cally is not invited to the Ariston stage which, in addition to offending women in his methanfitemine litanies, literally sends f … policemen and state police”.
“There Rai, public service paid by citizens, everyone, including the policemen that that kind of songwriter offends in his songs, will be responsible of the performance of this subject, “he added.
Sanremo, controversy over Junior Cally: Rai’s reply
“Junior Cally is a rapper born in the suburbs of Rome, “replied the Rai as Ansa reports, “who has undoubtedly made a difficult life and has used the language of this genre to recreate in his previous songs a picture common to many suburbs of the world, an exasperated and violent youth who grew up in extreme situations” .
“Singing these situations does not necessarily mean therefore, it is good to reiterate that the artist shares the behaviors or thoughts that he describes in his texts,” viale Mazzini said.
“In the specific”, it is still read in the reply, “object of dispute a Junior Cally is not the piece of music presented at the Song Festival (“No Thanks”) but a piece released in 2018 entitled “It’s called Joy”.
Sanremo, controversy over Junior Cally: new attacks from Lega and Italia Viva
The deputy of the League and secretary of the Rai Supervisory Commission Massimiliano Capitanio, as Ansa reports, launched a new attack after Rai’s reply: “Rai’s defense of the presence of Junior Cally at the Sanremo Festival is embarrassing and topped with lies”.
Speaking of the rapper, the League added: “You don’t want to excuse, you don’t deny anything of the texts in which you praise rape and femicide and, not happy, send to that country – to put it mildly – the State and the Police. This is not art, but carcinogenic manure for our civilization. If he doesn’t want to apologize, Rai should do it for him. Nobody dares to muddy the Sanremo Festival, the authentic cultural heritage of our country, clearing customs – with public money – a similar character, who Italians will still be able to distinguish from the real artists in the race, simply changing the channel if and when he should go on stage at the Ariston “.
“Rai will continue to close its eyes and defend the indefensible presence of Junior Cally at the Festival even after the courageous denunciation of Gessica Notaro in a press conference? ”asked the deputy of Italia Viva and secretary of the Rai Supervisory Commission on Facebook Michele Anzaldi.
“The answer that Rai has given”, added Anzaldi, “to the questions of the Supervisory Authority, including mine, is embarrassing and offensive. Even today the singer instead of apologizing and distancing himself from his violent lyrics, said that he makes fiction, that his music exists as violent films exist. But some films, not surprisingly, are not broadcast by public service networks “.
