Five men and one woman. There is still no official status, perhaps due to the controversies arising from the first indiscretions, but inside the Palazzo Raffaello, in Ancona, everything seems to have already been decided: this will be, unless you think twice, the composition of the first elected council . by Francesco Acquaroli, new president of the Region. Armchairs that, however, according to the Councilor for Equal Opportunities “appointed by the Ministry of Labor as a public official to verify and eliminate situations of gender imbalance”, Paola Petrucci, clash with the regional statute launched in 2004 that promotes “gender equality”.

The scheme followed by the new governor, Dolphin de Giorgia Meloni, is the division: three departments of the League, two of Brothers of Italy and one of Forza Italia, in addition to the UDC that will occupy the presidency of the Legislative Assembly.

Finally, Dino Latini, in the UDC quota, former regional councilor and former mayor of Osimo, will occupy the position of Prime Minister.

“And the gender equality? ”, Many wonder. Not received, at least according to early rumors. “If the gender balance is not respected – Petrucci threatened with a letter addressed to the new president – I will be forced to challenge the appointment of the council for illegitimacy with a formal legal warning and the consequent legal actions.” Petrucci cites, in fact, the regional statute of 2004 that, in article 3, precisely promotes equality between men and women both for access to “elective positions and bodies” and for appointment “in the bodies and in all positions. for the appointment of the Council and the Executive “. Therefore, there is a wide margin of choice for the president, who however, Petrucci points out, should “appoint directors in full compliance with the principle of a balanced presence of women and men.”
