“Rome remains a priority for all political forces”
«In the Chamber and the Senate the Democratic party from Rome will bring an important number of parliamentarians. And we will defend the capital from the return of the Northern party which has always dominated the center-right, fueling an anti-Roman spirit ». Truly the leader of the center-right first force, Giorgia Meloni, is Roman. «Of course, but you have re-nominated Tremonti. Let’s hope he won’t let him decide the economic policy of his party ». Speak out Claudio Mancini, p of the Pd in the proportional Lazio1 P03 and in the single-member constituency U06 (XI and XII Municipio and Fiumicino).

Yesterday he opened his electoral committee. Do not fear the lack of interest of the voters?
«No, I notice many uncertain, who are interested in understanding the proposals and the reasons in the field. Many have not understood the reasons for trusting the Draghi government and fear the adventure of early elections. Yesterday at Magliana I met for people, an unexpected participation. And I will make a campaign among the people, with an electric van and a small stage to hold rallies, to win a college lost to the pollsters ».
There is no talk of programs.
“But the differences are between the center-right and us. Them less taxes to the rich, we less taxes to the workers. Their n. 194, we gender equality. Their underpaid work, we have a minimum wage. Their discrimination, we civil rights. They conservatives, we progressives. There are only two options in the field: either Meloni or the Democratic Party ».
Will Rome choose the center-left as in the last administrative offices?
«We are engaged for the vote in Rome which in my opinion will be trained by the candidacy of Zingaretti as leaders and by the growing positive opinion on the Gualtieri administration. Many undecided will choose the Democratic Party and this will make us win most of the colleges in Rome. On 6 September we will be with Enrico Letta in piazza Santi Apostoli, a square that is dear to us for the olive tree season and for the victories we celebrated there ».
The presentation of the lists has created many discontent in the Democratic Party. Those who have been excluded say they are victims of the game of currents.
«The reduction in the number of parliamentarians has led to difficult and in some cases painful choices, in my opinion Letta has done well and moved with judgment. It’s too easy to complain about the currents when they don’t apply and to be silent when they apply. In Rome, after the elections, the Democratic Party will go to congress to entrust the party to a new generation that I hope to overcome the divisions of the past ».
There is, however, still the waste of the Ruberti case.
«I met a reputable and highly skilled public executive who worked with directors of the caliber of Rutelli, Veltroni, Marino, Zingaretti and Gualtieri. He certainly made a mistake, which he recognized and for which he resigned, for the rest I would invite you not to dare hurry while waiting for the outcome of the investigations in progress “.
Gualtieri was heavily supported by the Draghi government. Are you afraid that with a center-right government it can change things?
«Jubilee of 2025, candidacy for Expo 2030, special powers in the field of waste, commissioners and financing for transport, public works and road asphalting. These are concrete facts on which the government has collaborated with the capital, thanks to the full support of the political forces, including those of the center-right. Whatever the outcome of the elections, no one will have the convenience to change this high vote, because it would pay for credibility towards Roman citizens ”.
The reform on Roma Capitale also seems to have been forgotten.
«We will bring an important patrol of parliamentarians to the Chamber also for the Capital for the resources and the reforms that are necessary. In the legislature that is ending, a great deal of synthesis had been done with the text adopted in the Constitutional Affairs Commission, whose approval was blocked by the government crisis. In the next legislature we will start again from there and from an ordinary text of law to allow Rome to exercise its function as a triple capital: capital of the nation, world capital of Christianity and capital of ancient history ».
