10 August 2020 Virginia Raggi is running for the post of mayor of Rome. "I'm not going to set the table for the old ones to eat. I'm convinced that we have to go on." These are the words that the mayor would have pronounced in videoconference to the M5s councilors, announcing her reapplication for the Capitol. 

So Raggi dissolves his reservations and communicates to his majority the intention to reapply in 2021 for a second term at the helm of the Capitol. The announcement was greeted with applause from the participants.

Raggi was elected mayor in 2016, after a first two-year term as a pentastellate councilor in opposition to Ignazio Marino's dem administration.

"Today Virginia Raggi announced that she will re-nominate herself as mayor of Rome. The palace games and old-fashioned alchemy do not belong to us and will never belong to us. We are faithful lovers of clarity and transparency: for this reason the Mayor communicates her will without many frills and puns ". The Capitoline Councilor for Personnel, Antonio De Santis, writes on Facebook.
