The Anastasio case shows the limits of the Melonian ruling class

The meteoric experience of Claudio Anastasio at the head of the 3-I company created by Mario Draghi to computerize the Public Administration (starting from the unification of INPS, Inail and Istat systems) ended with his “irrevocable” resignation announced after a His incredible message paraphrasing Benito Mussolini’s speech after the Matteotti crime was made public and aroused understandable indignation. What prompted Anastasio to write those nonsense only he knows, but the fact that such a singular character has been appointed to that post raises a problem regarding the quality of the managerial team that the government has the task of installing at the helm of so many state bodies and bodies. The problem is not the right of appointment, which was exercised by all the previous executives, nor the “parcel development” which is certainly not a laudable but common practice. The problem that can be raised concerns the selection criteria and the verification of the qualities not only professional but also of seriousness and competence necessary to cover important public positions.
