Democratic Party (PD) Chairman
Matteo Orfini said Wednesday that under-fire Rome Mayor Ignazio
Marino will be staying in his position until the people of Rome
decide otherwise.
Marino has come under pressure to quit after the council
was hit by the so-called Mafia Capitale corruption probe, even
though he is not personally implicated.
On Tuesday Renzi said Marino could not afford to be
"relaxed" in his position and had to show he could govern the
capital or go home.
"Marino is perfectly conscious he must do more," Orfini
said Wednesday.
"I talk to Marino and Renzi on a daily basis, and the mayor
experienced the premier's words as a stimulus to do more and do
it better".
