Vatican daily
L'Osservatore Romano said Friday the on-off resignation saga of
Rome Mayor Ignazio Marino "is taking on the guise of a farce".
It said "beyond all judgement there remains the damage, also of
image, wreaked on a city accustomed in its history to see all
manner of things, but rarely exposed to similar affairs". Marino
tendered his resignation over an expenses scandal October 12 and
withdrew the resignation October 29 despite the opposition of
his own Democratic Party, which is now teaming up with
opposition councillors to bring him down.
