There are still a lot of boxes to be filled in the government: here are what they are
There are five of them, in addition to the post that belonged to Andrea Delmastro, the former undersecretary of Justice who resigned after the controversy over the shares that the Melonian had with the family of Mauro Caroccia, close to the Camorra clan of Michele Senese
After the blitz by Prime Minister Meloni, who assigned the tourism delegation to Gianmarco Mazzi in place of Daniela Santanché (dismissed after a long pressing), a few pieces remain uncovered in the government puzzle. To be filled in, if you wish. There are five, in addition to the post that belonged to Andrea Delmastro, the former undersecretary of Justice who resigned after the controversy over the shares that the Melonian had with the family of Mauro Caroccia, close to the Camorra clan of Michele Senese.
While waiting for a possible successor to Delmastro, his delegations have been assigned and redistributed between the Leghist undersecretary Andrea Ostellari (to him the one on the Department of Prison Administration and the prison police) and the FI deputy minister, Francesco Paolo Sisto (on the IT Department and the honorary judiciary).
On the other hand, the box left by Augusta Montaruli. The first to fall in the Meloni government, on 18 February 2023 the deputy of Fratelli d'Italia resigned as undersecretary of the University. Decisive, the final conviction for the misuse of funds of the Piedmont Regional Council groups in her previous political experience.
One year later, it is Vittorio Sgarbi who says goodbye to the government. The art critic is weighed down by the investigation - from which he was later acquitted - into a stolen painting and the accusation of activities that are not compatible with his position as undersecretary for Culture. But his resignation came after two weeks of a gruelling tug-of-war. Sharing the post at the time, in the ministry headed by Gennaro Sangiuliano, is also Mazzi: the former music manager has the delegation for entertainment and who knows whether, after his promotion to Minister of Tourism, it will be reassigned.
Resigning most recently and without judicial reasons or political expediency are Massimo Bitonci of the Italian League and Giorgio Silli of Forza Italia. The former left his role as undersecretary for Enterprise on 14 January and returned to Veneto as an alderman in the council of his party colleague Alberto Stefani. On 9 February, Silli followed him, resigning as undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, accepting the leadership of the Italian-Latin American Institute, the intergovernmental organisation that promotes cooperation between Italia and 21 Latin American countries.
