Rome, first crisis for the junta Rays: resign Raineri and Minenna. Atac also summits leave and Ama – The Republic

A 70 days before the election, the grillina team in Rome begins to lose pieces. Virginia Rays revoke the appointment of the chief of staff, Carla Raineri, already over the center of controversy for his mega salary of 193 thousand euro a year. And resigns Councillor for the Budget, Marcello Minenna, linked to magistrate of the Court of Accounts by a deep esteem so much that supported her in the race at the head of cabinet. “I have served the state this time as always” then declare the afternoon the former commissioner.

In the morning also came the resignation of dg Atac Marco Rettighieri and the sole director Armando Brandolese. And in the afternoon also came those of the new president of Ama Alessandro Solidoro. In a statement the director of Ama, appointed only a few weeks, announced that – after the departure councilor for the Budget Marcello Minenna – “felt longer fulfills the conditions for the task entrusted to him.”

the mayor chose not to participate in the city council annulled the council and brought together his majority at a meeting that the participants have called “very heated.” “We are working to find the personality of a great significance for the revitalization of the city. We do not stop,” said Ray.

The announcement of the withdrawal of Raineri was released at 5 am on Facebook from the first town. Then he beat the ANSA that the holder of the financial statements would have thrown in the towel. Soon after came the statements of Raineri: “I resigned my irrevocable resignation yesterday,” he explained the ANSA Raineri. To those who asked her the reasons for his choice he responded that are not related to “compensation or contractual reasons: the reasons are quite different, and will soon be announced”

the ‘motive would be for those opposing views on the regularity or otherwise of the appointment of the magistrate. According to the opposition, in fact, the chief of staff assignment was awarded with a contract and not a direct call. “Transparency. It is one of the values ​​that distinguishes us and that we pursue – the mayor writes in a post on Facebook – which is why we decided to ask an opinion ANAC, the National Anti-Corruption Authority, on all appointments made so far by junta. a request to ensure maximum transparency: the ‘building’ should be of glass, all citizens must be able to see what goes on inside. This is the M5S. “

” on the basis of two conflicting opinions – continues Rays – we turned ANAC that, after examining the papers, said that the appointment of Dr. Carla Romana Raineri at the Cabinet chief to be revised as the proper source of law to be referred to is Article 90 Tuel “and the application, in this case, Article 110 Tuel is to be considered improper. “” We take note – concludes Rays – and, consequently, will be prepared to withdraw the order. “

ANAC in its opinion explains that there has been incorrect and contradictory application of the single local authorities Text by advocacy Capitoline, which the opinions issued at the request of the mayor of Rome, Virginia Rays, for the appointment of Carla Raineri, superimposed rules governing different situations. Such misapplication would be at the basis of the resolution by which it was determined the remuneration of Raineri.

The appointment of the chief of staff will be under investigation by the prosecution. And this on the basis of a complaint filed today by the Brothers of Italy in which it is assumed the offense of abuse of office. The lawsuit, also linked to the compensation awarded, was announced last August 23 and concerned not only the appointment of Raineri, but also that of the head of the secretariat of the mayor, Salvatore Romeo.

The team rays then loses two strategic pawns. Just Minenna, considered a strong commissioner of the junta, had fought to review the salaries of the staff too high, especially that of caposegreteria Salvatore Romeo.

Taverna: “huge loss”. Pd attack on transparency. Immediate comment by Francesca De Vito, grillina the first hour and sister of the Capitoline Assembly President Marcello. The activist, who had already attacked the appointment of mayor and deputy Daniele Raggi Frongia, Facebook shares the news of the double resignation: “Without words. If the quality is not clear … So what? Now I was someone to say I was wrong! “.

in the late morning comes the comments of the Roman senator M5s Paola Taverna, member of the mini-directory joined the Rays from cinquestelle Movement,” I learn the news from the newspapers. We are waiting for know the reason. it is certain that if the judge Raineri and Alderman Minenna should formalize their resignation, this would represent a loss giant to the junta. they are two figures whose expertise is internationally recognized and it would be a serious blow, “he said the Tavern to Adnkronos. “I have no idea, I have learned now. Now we will see why”, is the parent company of M5s commentary Assembly Capitoline Paolo Ferrara.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party attacks: “What a mistake for not being transparent Rays as those announced before council elections and chief of staff. Income pays the city, “he writes on twitter Congressman Michele Anzaldi dem. “We assist astonished at the showdown of the Movement 5 stars,” says Michela di Biase, Democratic Party leader in the Capitoline Assembly, adding: “transparency just announced, the Rays mayor is caught in currents and showdowns that in this way destabilize the entire the administration. “

Renzi and the Olympics. “I respect the work of the mayor, won her, her honors and duties, do not put your mouth on the team, who wins has the responsibility and the duty to govern,” said Matteo Renzi RTL, answering a question on the resignation. the Prime Minister spoke about the candidature of Rome for the 2024 Games: “the Olympics is a fantastic thing. They allow an investment in the future of cities. I should have no doubt,” said premier. “O yes or no. If Ray does not sign the letter is out of Rome. My impression is that we are in the lead right now. Say no to the Olympics would be a very sad place,” says the president of the Council.

“i hope the mayor Rays continue on what we have already decided on an institutional level, but if you say no they will take place. Let them choose the five-star thing to do, it’s up to them. i will not do acts affecting the autonomy of Roma or of other cities, “he added the premier,” if you say no will mean that in the future candideremo other cities, “

concludes Renzi. And on the resignation of the Rays in the team was also addressed by CONI president Giovanni Malago, sponsors of Rome in 2024: “Do not go into the merits of the City events. I have always been respectful of the mayor Virginia Rays work and will continue to be so.
