I don't know, I wasn't there and if I was, I was sleeping. The story of the is more hilarious life policy of 30 thousand euros that a municipal employee of Rome like Salvatore Romeo donated to the future mayor Virginia Raggi receiving in exchange a promotion to general secretary of the Capitol for 100 thousand euros a year, or the explanation given by the first citizen of the capital is more hallucinating: " Life insurance? I didn't know, I'm shocked, but I'm going on"?
The magistrates will investigate this incredible story to understand how an official of the Municipality raised 90 euros before the last elections in Rome and earmarked 30 for the future mayor, making his ex-girlfriend, Alessandra Bonaccorsi, former M5S and councilor in a City Hall in the capital, jealous in turn, take out a policy of a lower amount. But the suspicion of the investigators, as Fiorenza Sarzanini writes in today's "Corriere della sera", is that that money was used to buy votes and to cover hidden financing for the grillini or for those who had bet on Raggi as mayor.
The investigations will clarify theAffair of the life insurance policy, but the comment of the interested party cannot fail to bring to mind another nasty story of blatant degradation of politics which led to another hilarious response from the then Minister of Industry of the last Berlusconi government, Claudio Scajola, he gave when it was discovered that the beautiful house he had in front of the Colosseum had in part been given to him by the entrepreneur Diego Anemone. “If you were to find out that without my knowledge – Scajola said with calculated shamelessness on 4 May 2010 – that house was partly paid for by others, my lawyers would cancel the sales contract and I, as Minister of the Republic, could not live in a house paid for by others”.
Scajola resigned and then the judiciary acquitted him (in the first instance, prescribed in the other levels of judgement). But no one can ever deny it a place of honor in the gallery of bronze faces. The same gallery where the mayor of Rome now enters with enthusiasm.
From the trio of dirty faces to the pair of bronze faces. At the end of the 50s, football fans went crazy for the wonders of the Argentine national team's attacking trio, made up of three champions – Humberto Maschio, Antonio Valentin Angelillo and Omar Sivori – who then also made a splash in Italy. It was called the trio of dirty faces.
Now we have to settle for pair of bronze faces, those who live "unbeknownst", what a bad weather.
