(ANSA) - Rome, February 24 - Virginia Raggi has been chosen
as the candidate for the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement
(M5S) in the Rome mayor race.
The 37-year-old lawyer and former city councillor beat out
four other potential candidates in an M5S online vote Tuesday.
Raggi will be up against centre-right candidate Guido
Bertolaso, the former civil protection chief.
The centre left has still to hold primaries for the June
vote, with Lower House Deputy Speaker Roberto Giachetti of the
ruling centre-left Democratic Party the favourite to get the
nomination.
