Supporters of Rome Mayor
Ignazio Marino gathered at the Campidoglio Friday after 25
councillors signed their resignations before a notary, marking
the end of his bid to prolong his term after a U-turn on
quitting over an expenses scandal.
"Marino Mayor, We Are The Antibodies" read a banner being
waved, referring to anti-corruption czar Raffaele Cantone's
recent contention that Rome lacked the antibodies to fight
graft.
"Democracy is dead and the most serious responsibilities
are of the Democratic Party of (Premier Matteo) Renzi," Marino's
party, said two supporters.
