Roberto Gualtieri Lapresse
Promise kept, at least on paper: to clean up Rome by Christmas from years of waste emergency.
The first act of Roberto Gualtieri mayor is a plan with 3 lines of action: more resources, faster procedures and coordination between the Municipality and Ama. In total the new council puts on the drama garbage 40 million euros, 32 of which are ordinary funds and 7.7 million “recovered” from the budget folds. Three million euros will go to Ama employees, 3.2 million for the fight against the wild jungle and the rest to eliminate the Roman shame of the hundreds of micro-landfills on the sides of peripheral roads.
Unlike in the past, Ama will have to communicate with the Public Works department and with the Department of the Environment to synchronize and optimize the actions.
Yes, because the "decorum" and cleanliness of Rome are such a complex matter that it cannot be entrusted to a single subject, as happened in the past with the Ama. Because clean Rome is not only the collection of waste but also and above all the thousands of leaves that make up the ornamental carpet of Roman roads and the knot of pruning.
In the handover between Virginia Raggi and Roberto Gualtieri, he also appears a 5 million euro treasury, "An old contract of the 2015 Jubilee - said the mayor - but activated and which will now allow us to field 12 companies for the cleaning of manholes and drains, particularly in areas with the greatest risk of flooding".
And since Rome is still "the capital of rubbish", to the team directly reporting to the mayor who will be responsible for enforcing the plans, the Civil Protection and Municipalities, Gualtieri would like to add private citizens, as a volunteer team.
Plant chapter: the drama in the Roman drama. Gualtieri on landfill and biological mechanical treatment plants takes time and passes the ball to Ama and the new councilor who will be formalized tomorrow together with the rest of the council. The extra load of waste that will arrive in Ama from the extraordinary plan will have to find a place in the current plants that will continue to ship the treated waste outside the region.
