Rome is going through a difficult
period and resources are a major issue, one of the Democratic
Party candidates in centre-left primaries, Roberto Morassut,
said Tuesday.
"Greater clarity is needed concerning the State's
commitment to Rome: without asking for more money, but by
putting the municipal administration in a position to boost
investments in the city," Morassut said.
The former executive councillor for urban planning under
Walter Veltroni said he expected "great participation" in the
primaries on March 6.
"Whatever the outcome, we will do everything possible to
avoid returning this city to the political right or to a
populist and abstract proposal without prospects such as the one
offered by the Five-Star Movement (M5S)," Morassut said.
He also warned his main opponent in the primaries, deputy
Lower House Speaker Roberto Giachetti, against a "certain
lifestyle within the PD" concerned with political manoeuvering
in view of elections at the expense of the party's popular
dimension.
This, he said, seemed to be reproducing within the faction
supporting Giachetti.
"Of course I am not talking about Giachetti himself, a
person who is beyond such logic and who I admire, but I just
want to warn him," Morassut said.
