“A remnant of my private life has become, despite myself, in the public domain. This has damaged my public image (which has always been above reproach) and the institution I represent. Needless to say, I am fully aware that in a city held hostage by the mafia, where guns are shot to kill, it is imperative to avoid any use, due to the strong symbolic devaluation they represent.
These are the words of councilor Leonardo Iaccarino, with whom this morning – as FoggiaToday anticipated – he resigned from the position of president of the city council, after New Year’s videos that portrayed him and his 16-year-old son ‘celebrating’ the New Year exploiting ‘blank spaces’ from the balcony of his house.
“I am aware that the regret expressed immediately to the press is not enough, in light of the extraordinary media commotion aroused. I must put the interest of the institution I represent and of the entire city, which due to my responsibility is negatively in the center of the news “. , and therefore make a painful but inevitable gesture for me. I therefore accept my resignation from the presidency of the municipal assembly ”, he concludes. Later, the resignation was formalized by Mayor Franco Landella, who stigmatized the episode as “Unfortunate. Politics requires responsible attitudes.”
