Bye, bye Rome. The great escape from the capital seems unstoppable. The degradation and immobility into which the councils of Alemanno and Ignazio Marino have precipitated first and now the inconclusive council of the grillina Virginia Raggi, without forgetting the damage also to the image of the Mafia Capitale scandal, are pushing many companies to move to the trendiest and most efficient Milan or in any case to the North of the country.
After the farewell to Rome of the journalistic editorial offices of Sky and Mediaset, which are now concentrated in the Lombard metropolis, in recent days Esso has also announced its transfer, the Italian branch of the oil multinational Exxon Mobil which will move its headquarters and employees of Magliana, a district on the southern outskirts of Rome, in Liguria.
"The capital's appeal as a pole of attraction for large companies - wrote the Corriere della Sera - seems to be in free fall and the reasons are various: poor infrastructure, disastrous transport mobility, oppressive bureaucracy, increasingly poor economic context". Without forgetting the local taxes, which in Rome are among the highest in Italy for the poorest services.
After three mayors of different political colors but all equally disastrous, we are in full emergency in the capital, but it is time for the Romans to open their eyes and understand that the sirens of demagogy and inconclusive protest, in the face of a corrupt bureaucracy and a class absolutely inadequate local policy, they were just a boomerang for which now everyone pays a very high price.
