Giancarlo Giorgetti has stated that he intends to remain at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, as he has a lot of work to do. Despite rumors circulating for months about the possibility of him leaving for a position in Brussels, Giorgetti is focused on his current responsibilities. He is committed to working on upcoming deadlines, such as the drafting of the national structural plan.
Various political figures have commented on the speculation surrounding Giorgetti’s potential departure. Raffaele Fitto, the holder of EU policies, believes it is too early to discuss names for the European Commission, as there are still elections to be held. Matteo Salvini dismisses the stories as fantasies and emphasizes Giorgetti’s role in defending the savings of Italians. Other politicians, such as Antonio Tajani and Ignazio La Russa, offer nuanced perspectives on the situation.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance has a busy agenda in the coming months. Key issues include the development of new accounting documents for all EU countries, the sale of part of Ita to Lufthansa, and the implementation of the Superbonus program. Eurostat is expected to clarify the accounting treatment of construction bonuses in the near future. Additionally, the ministry is involved in privatization efforts related to Poste and the Tim network.
Despite ongoing speculation about his future plans, Giorgetti has denied any intention to resign and remains focused on his duties as Minister of Economy and Finance. The opposition has accused him of trying to evade responsibility, but Giorgetti continues to work on important initiatives within the ministry.
The future Italian European commissioner position remains uncertain with several names being mentioned as possibilities.
Giorgetti’s decision will have significant implications not only for Italy but also for Europe at large. As one politician put it: “If he were to leave office now it would create an enormous void that could be exploited by those who are not interested in Italy’s prosperity.”
