From the expenses of the event for Europe, generously paid by the municipality, to the flops for design dustbling, interrupted cycle paths, electric buses with limited top -ups. All this exalts (and inaugurates) the mayor of Rome, Gualtieri
THE‘He did with pride. And it would do it again. He is he, like the Marquis of Grillo. You taxpayers, then, what are you? The perception of the Roman very Roman Alberto Sordi echoes: “I know …”. The mayor Concittadino, Roberto Gualtierihe spent three hundred and fifty thousand euros for the pro Europe event in Piazza del Popolo, who became a showcase for opposition leaders and left vippams. Following lively criticisms. How did you think of paying off public money for an initiative promoted by Repubblica? He claims radiant. Have you paid the journey and overnight even to the artists? Sacrosanct. The fourteen gazebo set up? Dutiful. And the 750 pass? Inevitable.
Thus, Robertone del Grillo has put one hand on the conscience and the other in the wallet: It offers the capital. But on his surprising generosity, however, he investigates both the Prosecutor and the Court of Auditors. It was for a very good and epochal cause, moreover: the best intelliges of the country gathered together, to say yes to peace but also to the rearmament. “Maanchismo” Veltronian to the nth degree. They were all there, in fact. Starting with the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein. And he was he, radiant: the former Mollacchione who decided to give himself a tone, flooding the social networks of reviewable companies. “The mayor Tiktoker,” the opponents call him. But the red square is only the latest gimmick. In recent months, bombastic proclamations with unified platforms have often turned into memorable waste.
Starting from the waste baskets. Rome has been besieged by garbage in recent years. The images of the wild boars that sucked in the bins have gone around the world. Gualtieri, last autumn, therefore announces that 14,266 elegant agrees will arrive in the city. Cost: almost eleven million euros. The mayor concludes the usual video with a fulminating Roman wit: “I’m there”. Just like the name given to the waste container: it counted, in fact. Detail follows: “Made of fireproof and antideflagrant material, it is safer than predecessors because they are not chipped and inspectable”. Cestò has gigantic cracks. It is the cabriolet of the monnezza. Too bad that it is “inspectable” also by the feathers of the capital. The Municipality is therefore forced to ask the Ama, its municipalized, to intervene: “To prevent volatiles from damaging the bags thus causing the spreading of all waste”. It is therefore necessary to “redesign the space between the vertical axes to make it considerably closer”. In short, the baskets are to be redone. Because there are too wide holes. The intent was commendable, for heaven’s sake. Gualtieri dreams of a green metropolis of the mountains of Marcella Bella. Thus, more than 290 million in the PNRR will serve to buy 411 electric buses. 110 have already arrived: flaming and registered. “But they circulate just 15”, however, denounces Marco Perissa, deputy of Fratelli d’Italia and coordinator of the party in Rome. And why? “There are no charging columns, so they have allocated six and a half million European funds.”
They had to be 40, at the end of last January. 21 have been installed: of these, just 15 are in operation. On the other hand, Robertone del Grillo’s plan is majestic: transforming Rome, besieged by machines and disservices, in the largest Ztl in Europe. The Municipality has already spent four million euros to install the new electronic gates. Too bad that in the meantime, the Region has rejected the enlargement of the limited traffic area. It will talk about it, well that goes, next October. However, he does not give up. He borrowed the evocative plan by the mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo. It is called “15 -minute city”. Many will need them, in the best intent, to reach the essential services starting from any corner of the Urbe. Saving the world, improving the air, raising the quality of life: the proposals seem demanding, but Gualtieri has clear ideas. In the meantime, 150 kilometers are needed by 2026. The track of “knowledge” is fundamental. Connect the Termini railway station to the Sapienza University. It is just 750 meters long, but to do it they took thirteen months: a little less than two meters a day. With this Lena, the ambitious program would be completed in 214 years. Gualtieri, when he decides to inaugurate the Termini-Pienza, is however enthusiastic. Also a favor of social media manager, last December even puts a clothespin on the implication of the pants, in the old way. Finally, he announces: “And now, pedal!”. While his tour begins, Gargola: «Another beautiful cycle path for Rome. We inaugurate this truly strategic new path ». It is “a new important stage for sustainable mobility in our city …”. In short: “Another construction site that closes …”.
On the total balance, however Maurizio Crozza has produced, With an unmissable imitation: “I am not a guy who boasts” he begins the Gualtieri imitation “but on 204 essential and indifferent construction sites, to date we have concluded … four”. Then, we repent: «Indeed, three. But beautiful big … » And anyway: the decisive track of “knowledge”, between cracks and ratoppi, is already to be redone. The senile enthusiasm for social networks also extends to artificial intelligence. With the usual video on Tiktok, a month ago the mayor announces to the pilgrims who will be able to count on Julia: “It is an intelligent virtual assistant, who in 80 languages can answer written or oral questions, on any topic that concerns the life of Rome”. The opposition to the Capitol, however, reveals: “The new Virgil who should have guided visitors through the services and monuments during the Jubilee, is yet another failure” attacks Perissa. Follows question on the remarkable cost of the exquisite Julia: almost ten million euros “for an application that offers little more than a free service”. In short, for the Melonians, “with the same figure, at least one hundred public building housing could be built”. To tell the truth, the theme Assilla also the mayor Piddino. Already in April 2022 his junta decided to buy properties for the noble purpose. Preferring those occupied by social centers and left -wing groups, however. They will be kindly contacted to those who live them illegally. Genius. Do you illegally appropriate a house? Robertone Del Grillo buys it with the money of the Romans, to whom you may have stolen it. And then you return it, turnkey. Those of the Maam Social Center, the former Fiorucci Salumificio occupied for twenty years, will therefore be rewarded with 144 public housing, to be built by 2027 The Municipality has already given new life to the disused barracks, to the modest sum of 11 million euros, in the name of integration and “social mixité”.
There would be no skiing, though. The Court of Auditors Lazio writes that 136 million are missing to secure the budget, at least on paper. Still, the Municipality generously paid 350 thousand euros for the event conceived by the journalist of Republic Michele Serra. The mayor, in front of cameras and notebooks, is pleased with the company. To the Campidoglio Transparency Commission, to justify the pacifist initiative, he instead sent a very faithful from the past battagliers: Albino Ruberti, called “er boxing”, legend of the Roman Democratic Party. “I don’t tell me” I buy you “… if they have to kneel in front … I shoot them, I kill them,” he screamed on the street in August 2022 to the De Angelis brothers: a powerful insurer and the other Dem deputy. At the time he was the head of Cabinet of Gualtieri. The mayor was forced to fire him. Two years later he decided to call him back as head of the secretariat, to the modest sum of 160 thousand euros. On the other hand, he is him: Robertone del Grillo. “Rocky” Ruberti, on the other hand, must have changed: before he threatened to put his unwelcome companions to the carpet, now it is the dove that flies on the Piampolo della Pace.
