Rome, 13 June (LaPresse) – "We set out a few months ago and today the dream is coming true. Brace yourselves, because today I won’t spare anyone. It’s been days of hard work, invitations, phone calls… I haven’t had a hand in any of it. This is the result of someone else’s work, whom I’d like to thank. The best units show their true colours when the commander is absent, and that’s exactly what’s happened with this event.” So said Roberto Vannacci, opening the first national assembly of Futuro Nazionale in Rome. The general then took aim at certain journalists. “Watch out, I’ve started to get to know them by now. Someone will start going round among you with a hidden tape recorder. There will surely be some well-informed person claiming to have seen me at the Rowing Club with Renzi, but I don’t even know where that is. They will keep writing about us, about you; they will scrutinise us. The skinheads, the ones with tattoos… they’re extremists. Just like those with strange jewellery. They’ll want to prove that we’re all the dregs, the rejects. Today we represent the rejects and the dregs, and we’re proud of it. In Parliament we have the dirty dozen; outside, there’s us, the outcasts, happy to be so. Are there any Freemasons here? Because they’re looking for them too,” he concluded, before inviting the audience to join in prayer.
