Gualtieri is running again at the Campidoglio: 'Let's continue to change and make Rome grow'

"Today there is a great capital of trust: Rome can change. And I say it officially, we are here for this: I have decided to run again to continue to change the city. With people at the centre". The mayor of Roberto Gualtieri said this at the opening of his electoral campaign in view of the 2027 municipal elections, at the public event at the Auditorium della Conciliazione, with the coalition that will support him. "The city has changed me and it has also changed my relationship with people", added the mayor speaking of his experience as mayor.

In addition to the political forces that supported Gualtieri during the first council meeting, the mayor of Rome thanked "the other forces that are here and the opposition have started a very positive dialogue, naturally starting from the 5 Star Movement and Action".

The mayor, from the stage of the Conciliazione Auditorium where the event launching the campaign for his reconfirmation is taking place, thanked the two forces for "the way in which they interpreted the opposition" and for having "gradually tried more and more to deal with the issues and started a dialogue, a common path".

In fact, the delegation of the 5 Star Movement led by the Roman coordinator, Linda Meleo, is also present at the event, together with the five-star representative and parliamentarian Francesco Silvestri, and the entire Capitoline group, except the former mayor Virginia Raggi. For Action, in addition to the Capitoline group, the Roman secretary Alessio D'Amato and the deputy Valentina Grippo. Also present are the forces that support the current majority: the Democratic Party, Avs (with Green Europe and the Italian Left), Sinistra Civica Ecologista, Demos, Italia Viva, Più Uno, associations and committees.

Gualtieri aims "for a transformation that must continue and at the same time must be increasingly broad and participatory in the way it addresses citizens and also in the way it tries to involve the best forces of the city".

"We hope to soon have another government that will really help us have another housing plan. We hope that Europe will put the tools for this issue in its toolbox." "And that forces governments to take action on housing policies" when there are "cities or regions in difficulty", he added. Speaking about the climate crisis, Gualtieri defined the right as "retrograde". And among the answers to be given to Rome on the matter: "One of the most important things to do is to depave and put more greenery in our city", he specified.
