There is a report that is shaking the Capitol. Located on the table of the mayor and was left by the general Accountant of the municipality of Rome, Stefano Stopping, which has given the mandate in the hands of Virginia-Rays: a letter registered on the 28 September. In reality, Stopping he had already placed his mandate in the second half of July, but from then on, there would never have been convened by the first citizen, so at the beginning of this week has once again put the contract without delivering a report on the state of the accounts of the capitoline: “So there are the conditions for work”, he said Stopping to people close to him. The image of the Capital that is out of the dossier is of a city on the verge of default, with debts of investee companies which are adding up day by day. The 5-Star Movement rejects any kind of responsibility and Luigi Di Maio, so: “If a bureaucrat if he goes, there is to be happy”. However, the criticality of the undeniable inherited add it to the current situation of stalemate in which it pays the Municipality for over 100 days and all of this weighs in view of the budget law. The deadline is around the corner, but also is not far away.
By December 31, the Municipalities must draw up and approve the budget for the following financial year and the three-year budget forecast. This step is nerve required because in this document, the directors indicate what financial resources it intends to raise and how you intend to use them. Failure to respect this right means to address the dissolution of the municipal Council and to the commissioner. Weigh today is also the absence of the commissioner to the financial statements. For this with the resignation of Stopping, some politicians have run the real risk of the second administration in a row for the Capitol.
It was yet another chaotic day. While the city council discussed the motion to withdraw the candidacy of Rome to the Olympics of 2024, with the pushing and shoving that is annexed, the Capitol hill news has spread has leaked that instead were not to the mayor, the resignation of the accountant-general, who "regularly work". "Another lie," says the opposition. It is likely that the first citizen has wanted to play on the subtle difference, in point of law, that there is between "return the mandate" and resignation. The political but, above all, practical is the chaos that there is in the Capitol. "The accounts of Rome are at the mercy of events – says Alessandro Onorato, a councillor of the List Marchini – no one is taking care of the budget balancing. A general accountant serious and honest, in the moment in which he does not have a clear political line, because on him they weigh the responsibilities of the accounts of the Capital, it is evident that he puts in alarm, the first a citizen and then if you don’t have the answers resigns". It also intervenes in Stefano Fassina, the Italian Left, an expert on the economy: "we run the Risk or do a budget improvised that does not correspond to the priorities of the city, or we risk even to reach a provisional basis". "Another masterpiece-Rays and Cricket," says the Pd.
The Capitol – we learn in the evening – is already thinking about the substitute of Stopping: his counterpart in the metropolitan city of Rome Capital, Marco Iacobucci. Contacts, we would have already been. The fact is that you have to hurry because, according to the Text only of the local Authorities, if the budget is not approved by the municipal Council within the time prescribed by law (i.e., December 31), the municipal Council is subject to dissolution proceedings and the Joint is subjected to temporary management. For the Capitol is an extreme scenario because there is already talk of a postponement of the terms for all the Municipalities. However, the capacity of a local government to plan investments and expenses without Budget councillor and without the head of the financial service, is very limited.
