Resounding knockout in the Capitoline assembly for the junta Raggi, put by his own majority at the time of the vote of two ‘twin’ motions of FdI and Pd, approved with the votes of the M5s, the first with 28 in favor, 3 against and 3 abstentions, the second with 21 in favor, 1 against and 10 abstentions. Acts that commit the mayor and his aldermen to withdraw the joint resolution establishing the construction of a waste disposal plant in the Monte Carnevale area in western Rome, between Malagrotta and the Rome-Civitavecchia motorway, not by chance nicknamed “Malagrotta 2”.
Rome waste, protest on the Capitol against the landfill at Monte Carnevale: “Shame”
–
The favorable vote of the two measures came at the end of a black day for the majority of the Capitoline that began with the garrison in the Piazza del Campidoglio of hundreds of residents of the Valle Galeria, which for decades hosted the maxi-landfill of Malagrotta which for almost 50 years has collected the waste of the capital and which was closed six years ago by the mayor Marino. A delegation of “no to the landfill” then went up to the Julius Caesar room to attend the council work and welcomed the assembly vote with applause and cheers.

Simona Ficcardi, the “rebel leader” on the waste issue, explained the reasons for the M5s councilors who voted against the administration line: “We are against landfills in general, but today we must take note of an emergency situation and the need to identify a landfill that would be unjust both in Rome and in the province “.
According to Ficcardi “it is necessary to reopen the technical table that identified the 11 sites, mostly inside quarries, because the preliminary investigation was lacking from the beginning, since the identification of the sites; furthermore the act voted in 2019 in this the courtroom, the resolution for the protection of the Galeria Valley, provided for a variant of protection, certainly not a new landfill “. And again: “I vote in favor of the proposals of the two political groups because after the Malagrotta landfill that territory must be restored. The request to withdraw the ruling of the council – concluded the councilor m5s – is perfectly consistent with what we have always said in this room and with the program that like M5s saw us win the elections “.
