(ANSA) - ROME, OCTOBER 07 - Could Virginia Raggi become a candidate if, at the end of the appeal process that will begin on October 19, she was convicted of false ideology?
The question, in the days of the re-foundation process of the M5S and the advance of the unknown factor of the M5S-Pd alliance in Rome, is not a small one.
And, as the newspaper Il Foglio also reminds us this morning, the M5S Code of Ethics, literally, does not prohibit the Rays from applying even in the event of a conviction.
Article 6 of the Code, in fact, provides that "the conviction, even only in the first instance, for any crime committed", except for some cases prescribed by the same Code, "constitutes serious conduct and incompatible with the candidacy and the maintenance of a elected as spokesperson for the M5S ". And it is in that quotation from the "first degree", the sources of the Movement point out, that the vulnus could be hidden, stating that this part of the regulation remains unchanged after the General States. In fact, Raggi was acquitted in the first instance.
And, in the event of a conviction on appeal, he could justify his application by claiming to wait for the Supreme Court. (HANDLE).
