Raggi in hospital after bad turn (3)

San Filippo Neri hospital says mayor's condition improving

(ANSA) - Rome, February 24 - Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi was admitted to the capital's San Filippo Neri hospital for checks on Friday after feeling ill early in the day. The hospital said Raggi's condition had already improved.
    "The necessary checks have been performed," a hospital statement said. "The conditions of the mayor are clearly improving and she will be kept under observation. "In the coming hours an evaluation will be made on whether she can leave".
    As a result of the bad turn, Raggi's presence at an important meeting on AS Roma's plans to build a new stadium in the city is in doubt.
    Raggi's administration has so far not given approval to the project and earlier this week Beppe Grillo, the leader of Raggi's anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S), said it may be necessary to build the ground in a different part of the city.
    The club said it would be a "catastrophe" if the project is not approved. Raggi has come under heavy fire after her administration was hit by a series of setbacks, including the resignation of several senior members, and she is under investigation in an abuse-of-office probe over an appointment. "Come on Virginia! You are a rock!" Grillo tweeted. "I and all of the 5-Star Movement are close to you!".
