Nello D'Auria, the mayor of Gragnano, a populous municipality in the metropolitan city of Naples, was attacked today by a resident who struck him in the face.
The mayor himself reported the episode on his Facebook profile. “This morning, while I was going to the Town Hall – writes D'Auria – I was attacked by a man, right in front of the Town Hall.
The Carabinieri of the local station were already on site for other reasons and indirectly almost witnessed the incident.
I have already filed a complaint. The visible state of physical and mental health of the man pushes me to send a letter to the Social Services and the ASL to determine whether the subject in question, who I do not know, is already assisted or needs health and psychological assistance, in order to establish the areas of intervention and the most suitable operational models to deal with any physical and mental pathologies".
“Facts like this – he says D'Auria – demonstrate how mayors, on the front lines, can become targets. Fortunately, this morning's episode was immediately calmed down, but it must be said that the health process for managing difficult subjects is too long.
I will continue to carry out my duty with determination and transparency, because violence will never prevail over dialogue and democracy”
