Renzi at the Quirinale and anti-corruption handbook in ministries

Renzi at the Quirinale and anti-corruption handbook in ministries

Renzi at the Quirinale after the resignation of Maurizio Lupi. The prime minister announced that the Infrastructures will be given the interim for a "short but not very short" time, as needed for a reorganization of the ministry that ended up in the investigation by the magistrates of Florence. Meanwhile Pier Carlo Padoan, Minister of Economy, has prepared a new anti-corruption circular: executive rotation, appointment of a responsible for prevention, strict rules onincompatibility of assignments, maximum protection for complainants the bribes. These are the main points of the new decalogue for transparency of public companies signed together with Raffaele Cantone.

The new rules, anticipated today by Repubblica, will be applied immediately to unlisted companies and, after discussions with Consob, also to those present in Piazza Affari. The text will be valid not only for the state giants (Enel, Eni, Finmeccanica, Ferrovie, Poste, Rai, Anas, Expo and others), but also for the many regional and municipal participants.  

The Decalogue also provides for the creation of a map of areas at greatest risk of corruption (primarily procurement) which will also have to identify the prevention tools to be applied. Gods are also expected codes of conduct, an office that will oversee the implementation of the code, a system of sanctions for those who will not comply with the rules and the ban on holding office for those who have been convicted of crimes against the public administration. 

Meanwhile, later Maurizio Lupi's step back, the premier Matteo Renzi assumes theinterim of the Ministry of Infrastructure. An interregnum which, he assures, will be "short", but not so much as to not allow him "to plan the work for put some order in that ministry and to leave to whoever goes there a machine capable of functioning without problems”. For Lupi's successor, the name of Graziano Delrio, current undersecretary to the Prime Minister, is mentioned. 

This morning Renzi is at the Quirinale to discuss with the Head of State, Sergio Mattarella, the results of the last European Council and the situation in the government after Lupi's resignation.
