Rome, Spokes to reporters: “Remember to tell the truth, do not invent” – The Republic

Virginia-Rays (ap) “We are here for an important event, and for Memory, we can try to talk about this?”. Virginia Ray responds, a bit angry, on the sidelines of the event organised in the Sala della Protomoteca for the Day of remembrance, to those who asked for news about the investigation opened by the Prosecutor against him. “Remember that you must tell the truth of the news”, adds th e mayor with an air of warning to the journalists – it’s part of your duties, remember that? Invent not. What is the truth? This is the you should know, since you know everything.” And to the question of how it would behave in the event of his indictment, Ray replies: “Ask if and when it will happen”.

The mayor back to beat the journalistic reconstructions, and disprove those that call the “fake news” in a post on Facebook: “After the false reconstructions of the phone calls between me and Beppe Grillo writes,” even invented a fictional negotiation in progress with the Prosecutor’s office of Rome. I feel sorry for whoever invents it, but what I have to say, I won’t, as is proper to be, and to the rulers, the rest are fantasies also very heavy, at this point, will be evaluated by the judges”.

“the Rays save us his lectures on ethics in journalism and not trade in the propaganda for the truth”, however, is the reaction of Stefano Pedica of the Pd to the words of the first citizen of Rome. “The mayor respects the work of many skilled professionals – stresses Pedica – propaganda on a blog is one thing, telling the truth is another. And the truth can sometimes be very uncomfortable”.

Also, Luigi Di Maio, meanwhile, spoke on the mess of appointments that coinvoge the brothers Marra, Raffele, a

former chief of Staff of the capitol, and Renato, a former head of the Department of Tourism of the Municipality. “The only time I met Marra I did it in my office Room in total transparency. The meeting has been duly registered and, having nothing to hide, I was the one to give the news”. Writes the vice president of the Chamber in a post published on the blog of Beppe Grillo, which contradicts the article published today by the newspaper “Corriere della Sera” about the two meetings between him and Marra. “I have not authorized anything, let alone act to send to the Anac,” says Di Maio.

in an article In the “Courier” referenced by Di Maio says,

in fact, that the choice to transmit to the Anac, all the resolutions signed by Ray “was shared by Di Maio” and that from the chat to the center of the investigation of the pm would be “track of at least two other meetings (one in August)” between the same Di Maio and Raffaele Marra “and, above all, of the consultations with Of Maio for the choice of all the positions, including Marra to the deputy head of the Cabinet, to which the parliamentary assembly of the M5S would have given away free”.
