Rome, April 14th
“We disturbed someone. We don’t know who, it could be so many people. We won’t point the finger at anyone in particular. Whatever the reason behind this action, I assure you that Casapound is not intimidated.” Speaking is Gianluca Iannone, president of Casapound Italia, who is presently in Kenya to visit Nairobi’s orphanages with Solidarité-Identités a French non-profit organization. He was on the phone with Andrea Antonini, vice-president of Casapound Italia and a city councilman for Rome XXth district, when Antonini was shot twice in the legs while riding his scooter on Via Flaminia. “Casapound – explained Iannone – has more than fifty branches in Italy. We have occupied dozens of buildings all over the country. We are always the first to stand for the poor, the disabled, and prisoners. We promote projects that if developed, would be of great help in solving the housing crisis. We placed ourselves outside the usual political game and we have showed that we are able to debate with whomever desires to think about the problems of this country. Obviously some are not happy about this. To those who wish to silence us, we answer that we will pursue our path as usual, openly in broad daylight, always moving forward. We wish Andrea a quick recovery as we are expecting to face new battles, together.”
