A pluralist junta thanks to 'a balance of delegations' and 'a strong investment in young people'. So said Eugenio Giani, who took office - for the second time - as President of the Region of Tuscany.

Giani's delegations

A team of eight councillors, already presented a few days ago. Now, however, it is clear what all their competences will be. 'The first session was very positive,' added Giani, 'we are compact and motivated.

The president will be delegated to budget, personnel, participations, sport and energy. The undersecretary for the presidency, Bernard Dika, will manage relations with the regional council and support the president's delegations.

Eight councillors

Vice-President Mia Diop, of the Democratic Party, will be delegated to international cooperation, peace, participation activities, and legality. Monia Monni (Pd) will be councillor for health and social affairs. Leonardo Marras (Pd) will be delegated to the economy, including industrial activities, crafts, agriculture, quarries, spas and tourism.

For Alessandra Nardini, school, housing, immigration and reception and culture of memory. Filippo Boni (Pd) will be councillor for town planning, infrastructure and transport.

The proxy for happiness

Among the allies are David Barontini (M5s) for the environment, Alberto Lenzi (Avs) for the delegation of labour and technological innovation, and Cristina Manetti (Casa Riformista) as councillor for culture, universities, gender equality and right to happiness.

In this regard, Giani said that he had 'wanted this delegation because in some way we must be aware that if this right is provided for in the US Constitution it was thanks to a Tuscan, Filippo Mazzei, who was part, as a great friend and very close to Thomas Jefferson, of that study group that drafted the American Constitution'. Therefore, 'if this approach is in the Constitution of the United States, it is not possible that it is not in the statute of Tuscany'.
