Rightist Rome mayoral candidate
Francesco Storace said Thursday that he, too, was mulling
pulling out of the June 5 race in favour of 'civic' candidate
Alfio Marchini, newly backed by Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right
Forza Italia (FI) party. FI switched its backing to Marchini
from ex-civil protection chief Guido Bertolaso, who was lagging
in polls. Storace is the candidate for La Destra (The Right), a
small rightist party.
