Rome, Grillo defends Mazzillo: “I’ve had the card pd” – Corriere della Sera

“I Also had a piece of the Pd. I took it to Arzachena”. So the leader of the Movement 5 Stars, Beppe Grillo, coming to the fitness center, which opened in Mirandola, comments on the appointment of the new councillor Andrea Mazzillo, chosen by the mayor of Rome Virginia-Rays, with a past in Pd. “A councillor for the former Pd? Hope it’s not a crime” short cuts Grillo.

The past

Andrea Mazzillo

Mazzillo was representative of Rays for the collection of funds in the victorious election campaign for the Municipality. He oversaw the economic program of the candidate. “One of us”, said Ray. Postdoc at the roman University of Tor Vergata, expert in local finance, employee on leave of Equitalia, until today, was staff director of the mayor with a salary of 90 thousand euro per year, considered too high by many activists in the Movement. Perhaps the most numerous criticism for his political past: Mazzillo ran on the civic List for Veltroni in the then XIII town Hall (now X), i.e. the Host, but was not elected. He became the coordinator of the List for Rome Veltroni in the THIRTEENTH. Then he ran in the primaries for the regional secretariat of the Pd in support of Nicola Zingaretti.

The intervention of Di Maio

“Because now we can no longer say that there is a council in Rome because we have filled all the boxes, you invent another controversy”. Luigi Di Maio, vice president of the Chamber and member of the executive board the 5-Star Movement, he replied to those who asked for a comment on the new councillors the romans, in particular, on the former Pd Andrea Mazzillo. “Now,” he added, Maio – the council must get down to work for the romans, the Rays, has made choices for skills, qualities and professional profiles. Good luck to both to both Mazzillo both Colomban, an entrepreneur from the veneto region that will hand to participate. This is also another great signal that we want to give to the world of the small and medium-sized enterprises that can make a great contribution to the management of the public administrations”.

Fico: “Cricket is the political leader”

“Beppe Grillo you will see him more often, as you’ve always seen. He is the guarantor of the movement, is the political leader after the death of Casaleggio felt the duty, in this phase, to stay: in short, there will be national elections. We together started this story and we would all be together.” Roberto Fico, a member of the executive board of the Movement 5 Stars, commented on the presence in Mirandola Beppe Grillo, to inaugurate a gymnasium, after the earthquake of 2012, which also contributed to the 5 Star Movement. “Beppe – said the Fig tree – is committed now to a life for the movement, we are talking here about a project of 2013, Joe was involved in the first person in that collection and he brought the cheque to the mayor of Mirandola, who we thank for having done so well this to the gym.”

Pizzarotti ready to goodbye?

Meanwhile, Federico Pizzarotti is ready to say goodbye to 5-Star. “Communication relating to the political-institutional of the municipality of Parma”. This is the theme of a press conference called for Monday at 10.30 am by the mayor of Parma, according to what explains the press office of the municipality in the invitation. The convening follows the indiscretion according to which Pizzarotti is set to say goodbye to the M5s. But on Facebook, something the mayor already says. “Their damage, the sleep eternal, and I have to find a solution”?. So Pizzarotti responds to a supporter on Fb and invites him to find a way to make peace with the leaders of the Movement because, he says, “you’re a great resource.” And Pizzarotti, always from the pages of Fb, also launches its strale against a Movement in which there is someone who has replaced human relationships with the “power games” and who goes “on the wagon of the winners”. Pizzarotti remembers Cesena in 2010, the Woodstock 5 Stars. “Those who came after, climbing on the wagon of the winner, even know what it meant to be of the Movement. Not yet know today. Six years ago we were a handful of young people with the desire to try, with enthusiasm, the right to dream of an Italy that is more beautiful, the land of opportunity and not of regret,” says the mayor of Parma. Today, she points out, “we have become Institutions, and with the same enthusiasm as we explain to our fellow citizens of a country which can do this. Today many things have changed, many of those who were with us then, today you have surrendered, while for others the games of power have replaced human relationships. Well, the youth of today, with sincerity and a smile, I say: do not leave the politics to the politicians, whatever the color of your jersey, party or movement, put enthusiasm, passion and desire, and we do our part to change our Country.”
