All parties against the recovering control room. But meanwhile the managers are divided

Officially, nobody wants it. All the majority parties seem to be against or not particularly enthusiastic about the control room proposed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to manage the 209,000 million of the Rocovery fund destined to the management of the Covid crisis. You could say 209 billion and 300 consultants, who according to statements by politicians have already been rejected. “I read about workgroups, control rooms, new hires, up to 300 consultants to work at Palazzo Chigi. As I personally told the prime minister – says Italian leader Viva Matteo Renzi – to spend European money well, you don’t need 300 consultants, but one government is enough. You don’t need thousands of projects, but you need a vision. You don’t need complicated work groups, but you need the strength of those who have an idea and know how to implement it ”. Position also reaffirmed by the leader of the group in the Chamber Maria Elena Boschi during the meeting at Palazzo Chigi between the Prime Minister and the leaders of the majority group. The proposed proposal is a single mission unit rather than a series of control rooms and work groups: “Here decisions are postponed from table to table and nothing is decided …”, the former minister reportedly said.

Shortly after, the president of the senators Pd Marcucci also enters the wake: “European funds are a historic opportunity to redesign Italy, we cannot afford to make mistakes, that is why the participation of Parliament and the collegiality of the Council of Ministers, we must avoid self-referential structures “, read in the control room with the six executives. Even the political leader of the M5, Vito Crimi, remains quite cold:” I am convinced that more than a working group, Everything should be concentrated under the leadership of the Prime Minister. I am convinced that this is the right path, that there is a mission structure so that all ministers can play the right role. “

In the end, this structure, which almost smells like a car, “serves to divert attention from the reorganization of the government and talk about something else,” says a deputy who knows the dynamics of the Palace well. The ministers who are in charge of the composition of this army of experts are the head of the Department of Economy Roberto Gualtieri, of Culture Dario Franceschini, who is also head of delegation of the Democratic Party, and of European Affairs Vincenzo Amendola. Meanwhile, however, even if it is officially rejected by everyone, each party intends to choose its technicians to place. We will see a real subdivision in which each part will have its share of representatives, its area technicians and its reference manager. Meanwhile, however, the hourglass of time passes.

Proof of this is the fact that even this morning’s table between the prime minister and the leaders of the majority group did not advance. So far, four of the eight points on the agenda have been addressed regarding the priorities for intervention in Recovery: labor policies and research at the last meeting, and today health and the environment. And in the discussion on the health chapter, the Month entered the discussion with the rethinking of the usual differences. The issue was raised by Italia Viva, then also followed by the Democratic Party. “If we have to wait for the recovery funds, why not immediately turn to the Month?” Was Boschi’s sense of reasoning. Wall M5S. The issue has become ideological and given the dissent, the issue has been isolated and will probably be postponed to the majority leaders table with Conte.
