Mengoni's appeal for the referendums: "We must all go and vote"

“We all have to go vote.” This was said by Marco Mengoni , a guest on Sunday evening at Fabio Fazio ’s “Che tempo che fa,” regarding the referendums of June 8 and 9. The singer made a sort of appeal against abstentionism: “It’s very important, then vote for what you want,” he added. Mengoni made it known that he will be in the rehearsal room during those days, “but I have already made arrangements with the musicians to go.”

Mengoni's invitation to vote comes the day after another appeal, that of Geppi Cucciari, guest, Saturday 10 May , of the semi-final of Amici . "In the case of the referendum , not voting is also a choice - said Cucciari -. But it is more a question of principle. Under the tricolor flag, sometimes, it is as if there were our true motto: mind your own business. If you mind your own business all the time, sooner or later someone will mind your own business and decide for you on small, medium, large things. For this reason, since you are the ones who in the future, you are young, will dance, you will act, you are our future".

The actress and presenter, addressing especially young people, explained: "Have your say, without fear, even just to affirm that you can do it, that you have the right. In a world of acquaintances and employees of democracy, be crazy, be... "friends".

On the possibility of abstaining in the referendum, in recent days there has been controversy over the speech by the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa , during the Fratelli d'Italia kermesse on culture in Florence. In fact, La Russa had stated: "I will make propaganda so that people stay at home". Words harshly criticized by the opposition .
