Renzi attacks the government after the Sogei and Spano cases

Matteo Renzi “celebrates” the two years of Meloni government with an all-out attack. “Bribes to Sogei, embarrassing chaos at the Ministry of Culture, strange commissioners at Urso’s ministry. The ruling class of Giorgia Meloni it is technically unpresentable. This government doesn’t work,” writes the former prime minister on X.

The leader of Italia viva refers to the affair of the internal documents of the Farnesina on Starlink, to that of Spano-Giuli at the Mic, with the resignation of the head of cabinet Spano and maximum attention on the commissionerships carried out by the minister of Made in Italy, starting from ex Ilva. A parliamentary question will be presented precisely on this dossier in the next few hours, Iv sources say. “How long will the Prime Minister continue to pretend nothing has happened?”, the question of the former Prime Minister. The question, signed by Ivan Scalfarotto, asks for an account of the revocation of three extraordinary commissioners of Condotte d’Acqua and what were the professional criteria used for the appointment of Francesco Paolo Bello as extraordinary commissioner by the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso.

Meanwhile, regarding Spano’s resignation from the role of chief of staff of the Ministry of Culture, the opposition parties are demanding clarification on the case which has once again shaken the ministry in Via del Collegio Romano. The M5S attacks with Luca Pirondini and Antonio CasoM5S group leaders in the Culture Committee of the Senate and the Chamber: “The news that is happening in these hours, with the announcement of an investigation by Report and Spano’s resignation, see the Mic at the center of a chaos that is no longer sustainable. When he speaks of a ‘barbaric climate of monsterification’, Giuli evidently refers to the attacks received from the press and from right-wing exponents. But what exactly are the reasons for these resignations? What other elements are there that the public has the right to know? Alessandro Giuli has the duty to provide complete clarity on the reasons for this resignation and in general on every aspect that may emerge regarding the transparency and correctness of his actions and the ministry he finds himself leading. It is unsustainable that such an important institution is the subject of a welter of uncontrolled rumors and episodes that undermine its credibility without the minister feeling the duty to say a word.”

The Democratic group leader in the House Culture Committee, Irene Manziasks that Giuli “commissioned as commissioner before even starting, forced to backtrack on the only choice he has made so far: the appointment of his head of cabinet” comes “to Parliament to complete the hearing with the assembled commissions set for the 17th October and then postponed. The Ministry of Culture finds itself without a leader in the midst of the discussion of a budget law that makes ferocious cuts to all the sectors within its competence. We are faced with an irresponsible government that treats the Italian cultural sectors with contempt.” .

Spano’s resignation, according to Avs deputy and national spokesperson for Green Europe, Angelo Bonelli, “marks the failure of the ruling class that revolves around Prime Minister Meloni. Scandal after scandal, this government demonstrates that it does not have adequate leadership to govern a country like Italy. They rely on a small circle of friends and ‘magic circles’, people who are often involved in questionable behavior and legal proceedings, as demonstrated by cases of Daniela Santanchè e Andrea Delmastro. We are faced with a government that is incapable of freeing itself from scandals and favoritism. I tell Minister Giuli that the monsterization of Spano, which he spoke about, was made by his party or FdI and as the opposition we witness this indecent spectacle in disbelief. The minister must be consistent and resign if he has dignity because he has demonstrated that he is externally directed and does not govern the ministry. Italy deserves better.” And the senator Enrico Borghigroup leader in the Senate of Italia Viva, adds: “The Minister of Culture must explain a very simple thing to Parliament and the country: but what exactly is happening in that ministry? If possible, do it quickly and perhaps even understandably.”
