Appointments, spoil system, laws ad personam total confrontation. Conte: bulimic government. Leo: “On the Guardia di Finanza only a break to choose better”

The tensions in the government on the nomination front are before everyone’s eyes. But Giuseppe Conte observes, however, that «it does not seem that the government is in difficulty with the appointments», on the contrary he adds, it seems to me «that the government expresses an absolutely reprehensible bulimia of appointments. In fact, he argues from Ancona, “We are beyond the spoil system, contra personam rules are being introduced”. And he adds: «I want to be clear – explained the pentastellato leader – the spoil system is also a correct system: when a government takes office there are some public offices that must have a consonance with the current government. However – he underlined – here we are going absolutely beyond that. After the disastrous season of Berlusconi with ad personam laws, contra personam laws are being introduced here. Even those positions that should be removed from the spoil system, we are talking about INPS, Inail – he continued -, are instead vulgarly attacked with ad hoc rules, contra personam rules. We are beyond the spoil system, because some public offices, especially if carried out well, should be managed in their autonomy. This government is bulimic.” The majority, meanwhile, try to throw the ball back into the opponent’s field. In the government, “there is no clash” over the appointments and, in particular, over the new commander of the Guardia di Finanza, explains the Deputy Minister of the Economy, Maurizio Leo: “I know all the 14 army corps generals, all the potential candidates to be commander. Each with a very high profile, an important career and many with two or three degrees. So they are all very deserving ». «The government – says Leo – has only taken a pause for reflection to choose accurately on the basis of the curricula. The knot will be untied shortly ».
