Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi's
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement has presented a proposal to
the council assembly to amend the city's statute to make a
"direct-democracy revolution" possible. The proposal would make
it possible to conduct online petitions and experiment with
electronic voting for city referendums. The M5S said that the
aim is to "pass from the Capital Mafia" scandal, regarding
allegations a criminal organization muscled in on city contracts
worth millions, to the "direct-democracy capital".
