Democratic Party (PD) Rome mayoral
candidate and Deputy House Speaker Roberto Giachetti pledged
Monday to get rid of any candidate on his ticket the National
Anti-Mafia Commission has a problem with.
"If the...Commission says there's a person with a
problem...that person will be off the list," said the
center-left candidate. "
I don't think we will have that problem. I am so certain on
this score, I unilaterally said I would submit my list to the
Commission, before it made the decision (to scrutinize the Rome
election)".
Premier Matteo Renzi's PD will reportedly give Giachetti an
electoral list for the June 5 ballot sometime tonight. Giachetti
will take 24 hours to review it, then submit it to the
Anti-Mafia Commission and post it on the Web on Wednesday.
The Commission said last Wednesday it will monitor
electoral lists for upcoming June 5 local elections in towns
whose administrations have been dissolved for mafia reasons or
that have been commissioned for other reasons.
The list of a dozen towns and cities includes Rome,
Anti-Mafia Commission Chair Rosy Bindi said.
