MINNITI IN LEONARDO

EXTRACT FROM THE REPUBLIC ARTICLE ON MINNITI TO THE LEONARDO FOUNDATION (FORMER FINMECCANICA):

Intelligence and geopolitics have always been his favorite field of action, inside and outside the institutions. And in the name of these inclinations Marco Minniti gives a new turning point to his decades-long career: he leaves parliament and heads a newborn foundation of Leonardo, the company controlled for 30% by the Ministry of Economy which is the heir of Finmeccanica.

The creature entrusted to Minniti, who will be its president, was established on Thursday with a resolution of the board of Leonardo (which has as Alessandro Profumo) and an interesting acronym: it is called Med-or, an acronym that alone determines the area of competence, the Mediterranean extended as far as the Sahara, the Middle and the Far East.

The new adventure of the former Minister of the Interior is within a structure that will be something more than a think-tank: it acts as an "economic, industrial and cultural mediator" between Italy and the countries of a vast area. According to the report approved by Leonardo's board of directors, Med-or will be a "bridge through which concrete ideas, programs and projects can be circulated" with the aim of "transferring traditional and innovative technologies" and promoting "higher education »In the States concerned. Minniti will head a board of representatives from the world of industry, university and research, including international ones.

An attempt to reconcile productive and academic worlds "to foster constructive dialogue between countries, cultures and economic systems and to emphasize the role of Italy on a global level".

But "the development of structural programs in the aerospace, defense and security sectors" can only be achieved with a budget yet to be defined but which will be substantial: the project envisages that the foundation has "legal, economic and cultural contents that are not facade ".

Against the light it is not difficult to see an important role for the new subject in the international relations of our country. A second leg of the foreign policy of the Italian system, someone observes, and for this very reason the document presented by Med-or clears the field of «overlapping with the precious work of the institutions and other existing international organizations».
