Carlo Cottarelli, senior economist, former executive director of the International Monetary Fund and former prime minister in the last legislature, leaves the Pd, in whose lists he had been elected as an independent, and also leaves the Senate. "I'm resigning as senator this week" he announced today in Fabio's "Che tempo che fa" television show Fazio. After the exit of Senator Enrico Borghi, Matteo passed to Italia Viva Renzi, for the Democratic Party it is a new blow in a few days.
COTTARELLI WAS UNCOMFORTABLE IN SCHLEIN'S PD: "HE DENIED THE MERIT"
Cottarelli has not hidden that he feels uncomfortable in a parliamentary group in which he does not recognize himself after the line of the new secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly, has prevailed Schlein, and not to be at ease even in the Senate due to the "excess of conflict". Cottarelli was particularly annoyed about the fact that the Schlein motion “criticizes the merit” which should instead be a founding element of the school intended as a social elevator for more studious children and those from less well-off families.
COTTARELLI WILL RETURN TO TEACHING
In the primaries of the Democratic Party, Cottarelli, of a reformist orientation, had supported the candidacy for secretary of the Governor of Emilia-Romagna, Stefano Bonaccini.
After the unhappy experience in the Senate, Cottarelli will return to the Catholic University of Milan, where years ago he founded the Observatory of Italian public accounts, and will do so to "direct a program of social and economic science education aimed at students of high school".
