Raggi to decide on Rome Olympics in Oct

(ANSA) - Rome, July 19 - Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) said Tuesday she would take a decision on the city's bid to host the 2024 Olympics in October.
    "October is a good month for drawing conclusions," Raggi said in an interview with local freesheet Metro. "We have never precluded dialogue … but for now our position remains unchanged: first we will attend to potholes, waste, transport, then we will evaluate the extraordinary," she added. The mayor also said she "wouldn't hesitate" to call a referendum on the issue if Romans asked for one.
    Raggi said she was due to meet with Premier Matteo Renzi "straight after the summer" and that the renegotiation of Rome's massive debt would be top of the agenda.
