Golden pensions, the law to “summarize” pensioners in the PA: what happens now – Corriere.it

The problem had arisen a month ago, when Gian Carlo Blangiardo had been reconfirmed at the helm of theIstat for another four years. The Demography professor had carried out the task in the previous four years free of charge because he was already retired (and in compliance with the 2014 Marianna Madia law, which had prohibited paid public offices for pensioners). Per’s second term had to be different, because Blangiardo accepted the position only if paid. A rule for golden pensioners in the Public Administration had therefore to reassign a compensation, i.e. the maximum allowed in the PA: 240,000 euros gross per year. The provision had entered the draft of the Milleproroghe, as an amendment, right at the expiry of Blangiardo’s mandate, on 3 February. Since he was not relevant (this is the reason) he had been withdrawn, to reappear again in the Pnrr decree dedicated to streamlining the procedures for the application of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Even in that case, with nothing done.

Until the decree to strengthen the Pa (which received the green light from the CDM on April 6). In fact, the norm has reappeared inside it, also because in the meantime Renato Brunetta he will be the new president of Cnel, the National Council for the Economy and Labour, and the same problem as Blangiardo awaits him too. But the rule had to collide with the no of Prime Minister Meloni, who thus once again made the attempt by part of the government to allow, as he writes in the Courier Monica Guerzoni, another round of the carousel for the golden pensioners at the top of the Pa.

The no of the premier

I understand that some of you would like to keep highly experienced people in service with whom they have built a relationship of trust, but the Italians would not understand – Giorgia Meloni explained during the CDM -. We all have to make a sacrifice. To then close with: It would be unfair to the many graduates who have studied and have what it takes to hold top positions in the public machine. But what did the law stipulate? In a nutshell, to suspend the Madia decree until 31 December 2026 and, therefore, allow those who retire to return to the top of the state, but no longer free of charge. Then in the public administrations, in the institutions, in the authorities, in the institutes, at Consob and also at Istat, where in February 2019 the yellow-green government had appointed Professor Blangiardo. The academic who retired on 1 November 2019 and, therefore, as a result of the Madia law, had had to settle for the Istat salary only for the short period between February and October 2019: for the remaining 3 years and 3 months he worked for free .
