Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi said
Monday that her administration is set to get new impetus thanks
to a reshuffle of her executive.
The reshuffle sees four 'technocrat' members of her team -
Laura Baldassarre, Flavia Marzano, Rosalba Castiglione and
Margherita Gatta - replaced by political figures.
As a result Pietro Calabrese takes over the transport
department, Valentina Vivarelli gets the assets and housing
briefs and Veronica Mammì has been put in charge of the social
sector.
"Today we are launching a new political phase that will
reinforce the work of the Rome executive for the city," said
Raggi, a member of the 5-Star Movement (M5S) who was elected the
capital's first woman mayor in 2016.
"After restructuring the foundations of the administrative
machine, we are accelerating to complete the political programme
the citizens elected us for".
Raggi's administration faces big challenges in several areas,
including public transport and trash management.
