(ANSA) – FOGGIA, 03 JAN – 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 from the balcony of his house 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 I represent. It is superfluous – he adds – point out that I am fully aware that in a city held hostage by the mafia, in which weapons shoot to kill, it is necessary to avoid any use, due to the strong symbolic devaluation they represent. I must put the interests of the institution I represent and of all the city, which for my responsibility is negatively at the center of the news, and that is why they make a painful but inevitable gesture for me. (TAKE CARE OF).
