In midsummer, the salary of Pasquale Tridico It has more than doubled, from 62,000 euros a year received at the beginning of the mandate to 150,000 today. And what is more with retroactive effect. Just to make a comparison, we are talking about 50% more than what his predecessor, Tito Boeri (103 thousand) earned. This is the latest storm unleashed on the INPS president, who once again ended up in the eye of the storm.
Let me be clear: the salary increase, as revealed Republic, was backed by a regular interministerial decree of August 7, 2020, signed by the Minister of Labor, Nunzia Catalfo, and by the Minister of Economy, Roberto Gualtieri. The text, in black and white, is emblematic: the rates “they are recognized with effect from the date of appointment of the chairman, vice chairman and directors“.
Double salary
Apparently, as pointed out The Corriere della Sera, he salary level of Tridico was not established randomly. In total confinement, when the Italians were relegated to their homes, the Board of Directors of the Inps would have met on April 22 to assign themselves the quantum, he later suggested to Catalfo. On the other hand, the law is clear: before setting salaries, it is necessary to show that a “structural reduction of your own operating expenses“.
Therefore, the Institute has shown that in 2019 522 thousand euros have been saved, and that is why in the 2020 budget it would have increased the fixed remuneration allocation to the different management bodies by the same amount.
Let’s remember that Tridico has been in office since May 2019 and that in March, given that the then government of Conte 1 failed to reach an agreement in the board of directors, Tridico himself was identified as a “body endowed with powers.” That is, after the retroactive effect, the president of the INPS would also receive, in addition to the 12,500 euros per month, the difference between the old and the new regime. The estimated figure would be around 100 thousand euro.
Payment of emoluments
The mayors of the INPS, on September 10, would have put in the minutes a request for clarification with much formal reminder. According to the auditors, in fact, Law 75 of 1999 establishes that directors must be paid from the date of their installation and not from the date corresponding to their appointment.
The point is that the current Board of Directors was “built” at different times: the three directors were appointed on December 16, 2019, while the vice president in February 2020. For this reason, the mayors of the INPS ask what is the exact date of the “Effective date of the payment of the emoluments as determined by the inter-ministerial decree in question.“.
The decree signed by Catalfo and Gualtieri also attributed the same salary 150 thousand euros per year also to the president of Inail; Instead, 40 thousand euros per year are assigned to the vice presidents of the two institutes (60 thousand if they have proxies). The directors of INPS and Inail, on the other hand, have a remuneration of 23 thousand euros each.
Salvini: “Excuse me and resign”
Reaction of Matteo salvini, who asked Tridico to resign from his position. In a post on Instagram, the leader of the League did not beat around the bush: “Inps, I have no words. Instead of increasing your salary, you first pay layoffs to the hundreds of thousands of workers who have been waiting for you for months, then you apologize and quit.“.
