CONVERSANO – The presentation event of the book ‘The world in reverse’ by Roberto Vannacci, scheduled in Conversano, in the province of Bari, for May 16th, has been cancelled. The organizer, Manila Gorio, confirms this. Vannacci should have participated in the 2024 Book Oscar, which is part of the Borgo in Fiore festival.
«We had agreed with General Vannacci – explains Gorio – on his presence. Our conversations with him date back well before the announcement of his candidacy for the European elections.” «The general had received an invitation from us, which he accepted. But then he announced his candidacy. Ours is not a political event and must not be exploited as such.”
«On our part – he concludes – there is a step backwards only because he is running for the European elections. There was no closure. Only that stage must not be transformed into an electoral campaign.” Even an event in the Brindisi area, initially scheduled for May 14th in Torre Santa Susanna, with the presence of Vannacci, will no longer be held, as the organizer had reported alleged “offenses” after the official announcement of the presentation of the general’s book .
