Close in politics, distant in riches. Matteo Renzi and Carlo Calenda, respectively leaders of Italia viva and Azione who announced in recent days their intention to create a single party, form a strange couple in matters of tax returns: from the documents filed in the Senate, relating to the fiscal year 2021, it appears that the former premier is one of the richest elected officials with a taxable income of 2.56 million euros; Calenda, on the other hand, is in the lower part of the rankings with just 63,990. However, it should be remembered that your income from the European Parliament (until October 2022) is not subject to taxation in Italy
Renzi and earnings as a lecturer and teacher
For Renzi it is the earnings collected for his activity as a lecturer. In recent weeks, Corriere della Sera reported, the ex premier’s movements have touched various cities around the world: Tokyo, Athens, Miami, Riyadh, the Bahamas, Zurich, London, Bangkok, Cyprus. Among the most controversial positions is that of board member of the Future Investment Initiative foundation, the body controlled by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (Pif), headed by the controversial crown prince Mohammad bin Salman.
He caused Renzi’s presence in Saudi Arabia to be discussed in the days when trust in the Meloni government was being discussed in the Chamber (but Renzi returned in time to participate in the vote in the Senate). A report also harshly contested by his ally Calenda: “It is completely clear that a party leader cannot take a salary from a foreign state, this is a fact of an incontrovertible reality, it has never happened in the history of contemporary politics”.
In the earnings collected in 2021, reconstructs the Daily fact, there are also the fees collected by a member of the Delimobil board, a company led by the Neapolitan entrepreneur Vincenzo Trani based in Luxembourg which manages car sharing in many cities including Moscow. A post that the senator from Rignano relinquished in February 2022, immediately after the aggression ordered by Vladimir Putin against Ukraine: “I found it right and proper to resign”.
For Renzi, 2021 was a financially happier year than 2020, when his taxable income had fallen below 500 thousand euros (488,695) as a result of the Covid which had limited his activity as a lecturer. Value halved compared to the previous year (2019) when he declared 1.037 million. In 2018 the taxable amount was 796,281. A significant leap compared to the 28,345 euros of 2017.
