With a letter sent to the mayor of Foggia, Franco Landella, the president of the city council, Leonardo Iaccarino, announced his resignation after the video in which he fires a blank pistol to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

“As I know – he writes – a remnant of my private life has become, despite me, in the public domain. This has damaged my public image (which has always been irreproachable) and the institution that I represent. It is superfluous – he adds – to point out that I am fully aware that in a city held hostage by the mafia, where weapons shoot to kill, it is imperative to avoid any use, due to the strong symbolic negligence they represent ”.

Foggia, the president of the town hall, shoots from the balcony on New Year’s Eve. Then he apologizes: “It’s a toy gun”


“I have to put the interest of the institution that I represent and of the entire city, which due to my responsibility is negatively at the center of the news, and therefore make a painful but inevitable gesture for me. the municipal assembly “.
