What many feared is now in danger of becoming reality. In the months leading up to the Democratic Party primaries, a number of questions have arisen about Elly Schlein’s real thinking about the waste-to-energy plant that Rome’s mayor Roberto Gualtieri wants to build to solve the waste problem. But now an impending appointment removes any ambiguity. According to Il Foglio, the new secretary is ready to appoint Rossella Muroni as secretary, giving her the mandate for the environment.
Muroni, not re-elected in the last general elections, in 2018 managed to win the position of deputy with Liberi and equal and in the past held the position of president of Legambiente: a woman who has little Pd and much of the most extreme left. “Muroni, who unlike Fratoianni & Bonelli is in favor of sending weapons to Ukraine, has always waged war on incinerators in Italy”, writes the newspaper about the former lady, who expressed her opinion about the Roman incinerator in a message on Twitter some time ago. ago: “It’s a mistake for Rome. It bets on differentiated, door-to-door centers and recovery, for all the fractions collected, which are based on a circular economy perspective. Let’s not anchor ourselves in the past, Rome needs growth that looks to the future”. Therefore, a clash appears between the Pd’s environmental manager and the mayor of Rome Gualtieri, supported by the Pd, of which he was also a minister in the Conte government. A beautiful skein for Schlein’s new party.
