Rome city cabinet member for the
environment Paola Muraro on Monday barged in on AMA trash
collection company chief Daniele Fortini to confront him over
the ongoing garbage emergency in the nation's capital.
"We're not leaving until we get answers," Muraro told
Fortini.
"When you see garbage lying in the streets your job is to
collect it - you can't just leave it lying there".
Muraro went on to tell the executive she personally saw
"mountains of trash bags" left uncollected in Rome's central Via
Nazionale, which is a public security issue "because one could
hide a bomb there".
Fortini replied that public security is not AMA's job and
that he has given orders for garbage to be collected every day,
going on to point the finger at businesses and consumers who
don't pay their trash collection tax.
Muraro replied that some citizens get tired of paying for
non-existent services.
