The crack was in the air. Bruno Rota is no longer the general manager of Atac.
This was revealed by Ansa, according to which the sole administrator of Atac, Manuel Fantasia, withdrew the powers of the now ex general manager.
But Rota is not going to pass for the man “put out the door”: “I have kept the news confidential”, the manager told Ansa, “as I was requested. However, I see that this correctness is repaid with behaviors that are not of the same correctness and therefore I am forced to specify this circumstance. How you can torpedo a manager who resigned seven days ago remains a mystery of the Capitoline administration. Or perhaps the umpteenth attempt to deceive public opinion without respecting dignity and work”.
After the harsh interviews given to Fatto Quotidiano and Corriere della Sera in which he denounced the disastrous conditions in which Atac finds himself, the now former general manager, who arrived at the helm of the municipalized Capitoline company only 3 months ago, therefore decided to take a step back , putting an end to the clash that opened with the M5S and with the Capitol who did not like the statements made to the newspapers by the former dg.
“The money is out – explained Rota, former general manager of the Milanese municipal company Atm to Corriere – time is up for the company: it has debts of one billion and 350 million and is no longer able to meet its financial commitments”.
Just one of the passages of the interview that infuriated the pentastellati, prompting Enrico Stefano, president of the municipal mobility commission to harshly attack the manager on Facebook: “We gave him carte blanche. Maybe in these three months he could begin to give signals, removing the executives responsible for the disaster, as we have invited him to do several times".
The reply from the former Atac general manager is ready «More than executives to be kicked out, he and not only him, they spoke to me about young people to promote. Quickly. Known names. Always the same."
The chaos of appointments in Rome therefore reopens. As said previously, Rota had joined Atac last April, seven months later in which Rome lost practically all the top management of its municipal companies and the councilor for the budget Marcello Minenna in a single day. On 1st September last, the sole administrator of Ama Alessandro Solidoro and the heads of Atac Marco Rettighieri and Armando Brandolese resigned.
