Urso and Pichetto quarrel. And the Energy Department is left without offices and goes into smart working

A two-year transition. The resistance of the managers. The gentleness of the owner of the Environment and the claims of the Minister of Development who claimed more proxies for himself. Then, the pie. One hundred officials without a room and suddenly the job is outsourced. All while the government is discussing the energy plan and the RePowerEu

A matter of space, of course. And renovations, and boxes. All true. But if an entire department, that of Energy, ends up working from home overnight, and without warning, and if this happens precisely in the weeks in which the government is busy defining the country’s new energy strategies in view of the European debate on RePowerEu, as demonstrated by yesterday’s summit at Palazzo Chigi, then it means that in addition to the perverse contortions of the Roman bureaucracy, in addition to the complications of logistics, there is then a more worrying issue, and it concerns the collaboration between two representatives of the executive. And that is Adolfo Urso and Gilberto Pichetto. Who, of course, have never been bound by a great concord, this was known. But that in short the uproar between the respective staffs would climb up there, on the seventh floor of Palazzo Piacentini, was not predictable.
