How Matteo Renzi cost the Italian government 190 million euros with “Ombrina”

Those, the good ones, the competent ones, the ones who, comrades of Calenda, cost us 190 million for having done an action which, among other things, in the historical perspective, has proved incredibly harmful for the Italian State also from a strategic point of view. .

The British company Rockhopper Exploration has won the international arbitration against Italy regarding the " Ombrina Mare" oil platform, which was supposed to have risen off the Costa dei Trabocchi, in the province of Chieti, near San Vito. The company, based in the Northern Falklands, had requested the “Ombrina” concession at the time when Renzi was at MISE, for the exploration and eventual extraction of gas and oil off the Costa dei Trabucchi, in the province of Chieti.

At the time, February 2016, Matteo Renzi was at the MISE. The Tuscan rejected the authorization request for Ombrine and for another 26 Adriatic concessions. Well, good encore. Too bad Rockhopper Exploration didn't agree and turned to the arbitration panel. Moral of the story:

  • now the state must refund 190 million euros to the Falklands company, unless it makes an appeal within 90 days (with a good chance of losing it);
  • we are certain that Renzi has caused great damage to Italy because he has blocked exploration that could now have supplied us with the necessary gas in the midst of the Russian gas crisis;

So the blame for the astronomical bills also goes to the good Matthew, at the time secretary of the PD. His successor since May 2016, Calenda, did nothing to correct the mistake. We hope that, having to pay, the Court of Auditors will intervene to identify the economic responsible for the fact and therefore to demand the amount due for the tax damages.

A modest suggestion for the State Attorney: to limit the damage why not propose a transaction to Rockhopper Exploration: explore and drill, as long as time is tight and you can have gas and oil soon?

Thanks Renzi, Thanks Calenda!
