Rome, Virginia Ray: “There has been a departure in the wrong But the policy is not corruption” – Corriere della Sera

From the role of Salvatore Romeo in the investigation that concerns the relationship with the militants pentastellati: Virginia Ray defends himself and goes to the counterattack.

In these days you are talking about a lot of the inquiry with his load, the Movement not come out of it well…
“Not at all. The media have tried to indebolirmi, telling lies on lies for the sole purpose of infangarmi. Have likened my name to some offenses, like the one on the insurance policy, which then proved to be totally unfounded: the fruit of the fantasies of journalism. But the romans know the truth and will judge us on the concrete things that we are doing for Rome.”

Seven difficult months…
“In part. A beginning so he would get worn down anyone. But, we never stop, because we have a great project for the city. We have taken a commitment with the citizens and we will bring it to completion: to change Rome.”

In case of an investigation, the rules of the M5S provide the possibility of autosospendersi. What about you, what will you do if there will be an indictment?
“The code of ethics and the code of conduct signed speak for themselves and I will stick to those as I have always done”.

A fortiori, after the question of insurance policies from which it emerges as Salvatore Romeo believes a person close to you, does it not seem inappropriate to his appointment the next? And today does not feel weaker for this event?
“The head of secretariat is appointed by the mayor, and I chose Romeo by virtue of a relationship of trust and professional regard that he had consolidated over the years where I was a municipal councillor. The history of the policy has been inflated to the art by the newspapers to discredit me through an operation that is shameful. I’ve never taken a penny, and if I had been informed, I would have asked Romeo to immediately remove my name from the policy, as I have done publicly as soon as I knew. We are talking here about a policy used by Romeo as a form of personal investment, the only beneficiary is him, and certainly not the undersigned. Even a fool would understand that a policy on the life of the value of 30 thousand euro, of which I would have benefited only in the house of the death of the subscriber, may not be a form of corruption, or of the sale and purchase of votes. However, the press has crept, has written, has done headlines in a big font”.

In the election campaign argued that a mayor who receives a notice of guarantee must resign: how did you changed your mind?
“No one has changed their mind, neither I nor the M5S. If an auditor receives a notice of a warranty because he pocketed a bribe or stole money of the citizens, must go home without if and without but. If we were to adopt the other parties our code of ethics, I don’t know how many there would be in politics, certainly not the mayor of pd Morciano arrested the day before yesterday”.

Fears that Marra and Romeo from “friends at the bar” now could turn against her? Rumor of a possible complaint against Romeo…
“I have nothing to fear and are very peaceful, my conscience is clean. And my only interest is to play in the best of ways, my term of office. And as for Romeo, I will consider what to do with my attorneys. The important thing is that you delete my name as beneficiary of these insurance policies”.

The Movement is split on her. He believes there is opportunity to mend fences with his detractors? The contents of its chat have exacerbated the climate.
“I do Not know at all that the M5S is split like never before, in these hours I felt so much closeness and affection on the part of the base and activists all over Italy. Then there are single spokesman who expressed critical positions, but this is physiological”.

Would be ready to a meeting, clarification meeting with Lombardi or Ruocco?
“We have different responsibilities: my priority is to take care of the city and of the romans, their work in Parliament in the interest of the Country”.

Marra and juliet yesterday. Today Bonafede and Fraccaro. Because the arrival of two deputies, Five-Star hotel in the Capitol?
“There was a mistaken departure. The causes are many. Not everything went as we wanted it. But today we can say that we have no place to shelter to errors made in the principle, and of having inaugurated a new phase, with a wonderful team of assessors and advisers that are doing an extraordinary job. With Bonafede and Fraccaro we had, as the other Municipalities in the M5S, support, legal and administrative due to the experience of other administrations that helps us on some issues”.

expect such an intervention as strong of Cricket in his defense? He heard Davide Casaleggio?
“The support of Grillo is a further incentive to go forward with more and more force and more determination. Also with David, and the reports are great. We all have the same objective: to work for the good of the romans, and to improve the conditions of this wonderful city that we all love”.

Are in many to mention only ad…
“I’ll give you a concrete example. Rome has approved the budget in January, it was the first among the large cities. A normal thing, especially for the Capital? No. In the first place because Rome had not happened for decades; and then because the other big Italian cities, like Milan and Naples, have not yet done so. Have already now the budget means to plan all the expenses and avoid loans direct, those who, under the pretext of emergency, among other things, are the basis of the investigation of Mafia Capital, when the emergencies were often created in art”.

Only the financial statements? It is not just?
“there is only the budget, but we care particularly. There is the legality because you avoid the loans direct the usual suspects and you make the notices. An example are those for the popular holes. In the meantime, we have started to cut down on waste, and invested 430 million euro for the transport. But there are many examples: the environment, the Plan for the social that was missing for 13 years. Then I think of the culture: Holes in the Imperial united states. Rome is going to be a point of reference”.

Has decided not to go to the assembly of activists, the romans…
“There will be other opportunities. It has been a busy week, I think it is understandable. And on Sunday I would like to pass it with my son.”
