Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi hit back at
Democratic Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi on Tuesday over who is
to blame for a trash crisis in the Italian capital.
Ex-premier Renzi said Raggi's anti-establishment 5-Star
Movement (M5S) council was incapable of solving the problem and
the PD would join the so-called Yellow T-Shirts for their annual
clean-up on Sunday.
"We collect the rubbish but they don't let us take it off the
streets," Raggi, who has blamed the PD-led regional government,
said on Facebook.
"Where does Renzi think he'll take it? Maybe he should
transfer it outside the regional government's offices.
"Instead he should do something about his men and wake the
Lazio PD from the slumber it is in".
Raggi said she was not passing the buck and was working on an
"extraordinary task force" to get the situation back to normal
within a week.
