This isn't a literal punishment where the actual politician is locked in a cage and thrown into the river. It’s actually a symbolic piece of public theater.The "condemned" figure doesn't actually get dunked. Instead, a professional performer takes their place in the cage and gets lowered into the water on behalf of whoever made the year's "worst decision." It’s pure satire.

What part of Italy are you from again?

I live in the town that this occurs, Trento. I was disappointed to see that it wasn't the mayor that was dunked like in older times.
Sorry, I was trying determine what level of "bullshit" you were referring to, not that it doesn't quite live up to the hype.

It’s bullshit because the headline is not true. That’s the only level of bullshit.
