Newly elected Rome Mayor Virginia
Raggi on Friday reiterated her opposition to Rome's bid for the
2024 Olympics.
"At a time when we have a debt of 13 billion euros just for
extraordinary management, I think it isn't ethical or right to
ask citizens to incur more debt for at least 20, 30 or 40
years," she said.
The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) has voiced the hope
Raggi would reverse the stance she expressed in her recent
winning run, noting that the support of CONI, the government and
the city are all required to make the bid viable.
