It’s Monday and the country’s most famous influencer publishes a post from Sicily: ten photos on board the boat, with an emerald swimsuit and various designer accessories, crystal clear sea, heavenly rocks and of course many accessories for advertising revenue that are never lacking (neither one nor the other).
But enough is enough, the social population – and in his case we are talking about 25 million followers and for the post 334,000 likes – is outraged: “Sicily is on fire. People losing their homes, their victims, their loved ones. The situation is desperate, both in Palermo and Catania and throughout our territory. Now there is nothing left, only ashes. This is Sicily, there are not only beautiful sunsets,” writes Indie, for example.
“Our Sicily is literally on fire, but ok, luckily that doesn’t spoil your carefree vacation in the slightest,” says Oath.
And once again Aboutrobsr: “No Chiara, there is nothing ‘good’ in Sicily today. OUR earth is burning. And to be honest, we don’t need that story very much where you say you love her. And so on: “And while Sicily is burning and the Sicilians don’t have running water, this one is going on a little tourist trip on her crappy yacht.”
Ele asks: “Chiara Ferragni, do you know that Sicily is on fire? Giampi: “Yes, it’s really a good Monday for Sicily.” Liazan: “Good Monday for who???? But do you at least know that we are on fire in Sicily??? A minimum of decency!!!”. Dani: “Did you understand that Sicily is on fire? Do people have no lights and water and are the airports closed? But could you have spared yourself today?”
Francesco: “You’re embarrassing! We burn, die, fail, fight. But you are looking/marking/showing/selling in Sicily. You are that”. Francesca: “Then say a few words about Catania, get off the ship and hang up the phone. Back to reality! do you have power Good, now use it! But not for the purple plastic glasses. Marco: “You say you’re half from Catania and then don’t say a word about what’s happening in Catania. Hospitals and the elderly are at risk. Shops are closed and in the high season, for example, millions of euros are lost. We’ve been without water in the house for days, we can’t drink or wash. There has been no power for almost a week and with temperatures peaking at 51 degrees we have no way of protecting ourselves, no fans or air conditioning, no technology, no transport just alarms, fires, ambulances.”
And above all, Ada, who expresses the thought of many: “A truly beautiful Monday, with Sicily on fire and Milan devastated.” The social responsibility that a person with such a large following carries is enormous. Like the indifference that emerges from the post.
