Giancarlo Giorgetti Confirms Commitment to Ministry of Economy and Finance, Refutes Rumors of EU Position

It’s European election time, but the field is already filled with commissioners

Giancarlo Giorgetti has announced that he will remain at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, emphasizing that there is still much work to be done. There have been rumors circulating about Giorgetti potentially leaving the government for a position in Brussels, sparking discussion about who Italy will nominate for the upcoming EU Commission. If Giorgetti were to take on a role in Brussels, balancing political dynamics in Italy and Europe would be necessary. However, Giorgetti has affirmed his commitment to staying at the Ministry of Economy and Finance and focusing on upcoming tasks, including the drafting of the national structural plan.

Raffaele Fitto, another potential candidate for the European Commission, believes it is premature to discuss names at this point. Matteo Salvini dismissed the rumors as “fantasies,” highlighting Giorgetti’s dedication to safeguarding the savings of Italians. While Antonio Tajani considers it premature to name the future Italian European commissioner, other political leaders like Silvio Berlusconi and Ignazio La Russa express confidence in Giorgetti’s abilities as a minister. The Ministry of Economy and Finance is facing critical issues in the coming months, such as the new accounting documents for all EU countries, the sale of part of ITA to Lufthansa, and the Superbonus dossier.

Opposition parties are pressing Giorgetti on these matters, while rumors about his potential move to Europe continue to circulate. However, Giorgetti remains focused on his responsibilities and the tasks ahead, maintaining his position as Minister of Economy and Finance. The ministry’s agenda includes addressing important issues like the sale of Poste shares, the sale of the Tim network, and clarifying the accounting treatment of various credits.
