(see related)The
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) said Monday it is
sending four representatives to meet with citizen committees in
Rome's troubled Tor Sapienza neighborhood.
But they may not get the welcome they hope for.
"We call on politicians, in this case the M5S, not to come
here because we want to take charge of our lives without any
political label," said Sandra Zammataro, spokeswoman for Via
Giorgio Morandi residents.
Her street is where a gang of 80 masked locals last week
attacked a migrant reception center housing teenaged refugees
with sticks, stones and flares, setting cars and dustbins on
fire and injuring policemen.
"The M5S, like the others, is part of a State that does not
represent us," Zammataro said.
A number of politicians from across the political spectrum
have visited the site of last week's anti-immigrant violence,
including Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino, who got jeered at.
