In a wild stop outside the Space cinema in Fuorigrotta, Naples, and when the deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli, who was there, asks her for an explanation, she replies "I am the daughter of James Senese" and leaves.
The whole scene was captured in a live video in which Borrelli noticed two cars parked on the pedestrian crossing that were also blocking the ramp for disabled people. "Inside the building there was a presentation of the documentary "Pino Daniele - Nero a metà", and the co-author of the film Stefano Senardi, confined to a wheelchair, was unable to use the ramp - he reconstructs in a note - A woman gets out of one of the two cars and immediately identifies herself as the daughter of James Senese and instead of moving the car, she walks away. After about ten minutes she returns to move it and then appears again with her father and the tone becomes harsher".
"The woman tries to snatch the cell phone from Borrelli's hands, who repeatedly asked for justifications for such behavior, even trying to hit him," the note reads. " The well-known Neapolitan artist, instead of asking his daughter to apologize, then concluded: "You are right to do what you do, but remember one thing, that here there is nothing to do." After some time, the State Police also arrived and fined the other car, which was blocking the ramp for disabled people and was parked on the pedestrian crossing."
"I am deeply disappointed by the words of James Senese - commented Borrelli - For years he sang the redemption of the city and I must deduce that now he does not believe it anymore since, instead of inviting his daughter to apologize for his uncivilized behavior, he limited himself to saying that nothing will ever change . I do not believe that is the case and for this reason I will continue to fight against the incivility, the illegality, the arrogance of so many citizens who with their behavior make Naples unlivable".
"I'm here to apologize for last night. What happened was wrong, it's inexcusable," James Senese said in a video posted on social media. "Being my daughter doesn't mean you can afford certain things, in fact my apologies go to the Neapolitans and in particular to Francesco Borrelli who is right in saying that if it's difficult to change certain habits you have to at least try," Senese says in the video. " I was coming from a moment of great emotion when I saw the documentary on Pino Daniele's story, our story, at the Med. It's not an excuse but when I left there I was quite tired. But it's right to apologize when you make a mistake. I do it on my behalf and on behalf of my daughter."
