In the meantime, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi holds the position ad interim.
Among the possible candidates to lead the ministry, the most quoted seems to be Teresa Bellanova, former trade unionist of the CGIL and current Deputy Minister of Economic Development, who resigned together with Guidi after the investigation into Tempa Rossa. From her, a respectable curriculum which includes the experience of undersecretary at the Ministry of Labor in the management of company crises. Both the Premier and the dem minority would like Bellanova. In addition, as a woman, she would guarantee the gender balance within the Government.
Another worthy candidate could be Claudius DeVincenti, economist, current undersecretary to the Prime Minister, another figure capable of leading such an important ministry, but also of managing strategic projects such as the "Manifattura Italia" plan for the digital transformation of industry or the "Investment compact" decree 2".
