Winning the Rome mayoral race in
June will be the "first step" towards bringing down Matteo
Renzi's government, anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S)
leader Beppe Grillo said Monday. "We'll start in Rome, to make
it a world city again after the disasters of Rutelli, Veltroni,
Alemanno and Marino," he said. "It will only be the first step,
towards also definitively pulling down the government of this
country," Grillo said on his blog. "The truth is that no one had
veer before drawn up a programme of solutions for the capital
together with citizens, never before had anyone put the
interests of the Romans before those of parties, as we M5S are
doing. This challenge will be decisive for the future of Rome
and the whole country". The M5S are currently topping polls for
the mid-June mayoral race, though they have yet to name a
candidate.
