The Italian National Federation
of Medical Doctors, Surgeons and Dentists (Fnomceo) on Friday
sent a formal complaint to the national attorney general's
office against shocking posters in German-speaking Alto Adige
that portray a cadaver in a morgue with written above: "The
doctor didn't know German".
The campaign is being staged by the secessionist party
Südtiroler Freiheit.
"That poster sends a terrible message: alarmist for citizens,
offensive for doctors, and above all, damaging for the
relationship of trust that is the basis of treatment," said
Fnomceo President Filippo Anelli, adding that the sign must be
"immediately removed".
The party is campaigning for the autonomous region to break
away and join Austria.
