The Pd sbrocca against Draghi after Stagnaro and Puglisi at Palazzo Chigi

How and why the Democratic Party with the Deputy Secretary Provenzano attacks Palazzo Chigi

Does the Democratic Party attack Draghi or just some of Draghi's advisers at Palazzo Chigi?

This is the question that politicians and insiders are asking themselves after the rough tweet of the deputy secretary of the Democratic Party, Giuseppe Provenzano, former minister for the South in the Conte 2 government :

A sortie that follows that of another technician from the progressive world, albeit not a leader of the Democratic Party: that is the economist Gianfranco Viesti, economist, former councilor in the Vendola junta in Puglia, and columnist of the newspapers Il Mattino and Il Messaggero:

It is no coincidence that Viesti's question is put to another economist, Marco Leonardi, professor of Economics at the University of Milan, former economic advisor to the former Treasury owner, Roberto Gualtieri, and today head of the economic planning department at the Prime Minister's office. .

In fact, the liberal economists Carlo Stagnaro and Riccardo Puglisi – object of the Provenzano and Viesti arrows – will be part of the "Technical Unit for the coordination of economic policy" directed by Leonardi as the Prime Minister.

Evaluating the impact of the investments envisaged by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Draghi government – as revealed by the newspaper Il Foglio – will be a team of advisers made up of Carlo Cambini, Francesco Filippucci, Marco Percoco, Riccardo Puglisi and Carlo Stagnaro.

"All economists with a clear liberal stamp and opposed to state intervention in the economy, in contrast to the apparent return to Keynesianism that seemed to inspire the much-cited speech signed by the former ECB president and future prime minister in the Financial Times in March 2020", Today the Fatto Quotidiano argues controversially .

Another technical structure, led by the former councilor for the budget of the Marino council Silvia Scozzese, will be responsible for supporting the municipalities in the implementation of the projects.

Among the new directors of the body headed by Leonardi, the names of Carlo Stagnaro, research and studies director of the Bruno Leoni Institute run by Alberto Mingardi (liberal intellectual and Corriere della Sera columnist) stand out, in 2012 one of the founders of the movement ultra liberal Fare to stop the decline (with Oscar Giannino and Michele Boldrin) and during the government Renzi head of the technical secretariat of the Minister of Development Federica Guidi, and Riccardo Puglisi.

Puglisi, associated with the University of Pavia, much followed controversy on Twitter and for some time critical with the center-left alignment and in the front row in criticism of Conte's yellow-red government, two years ago joined the association founded by Mara Carfagna, Forza Italia, current minister in the Draghi government.

In addition to Stagnaro and Puglisi, the Nucleo includes Carlo Cambini , professor of Applied Economics at the Turin Polytechnic and former chief economist of the Transport Regulatory Authority, Marco Percoco, who teaches Transport Infrastructure Assessment at Bocconi where he directs the Center for Green research (geography, resources, environment, energy and networks), and Francesco Filippucci, PhD at the Paris school of economics and founder of the under 30 think tank Tortuga: "Born in Rome, I am PhD at PSE, after having studied Bocconi, Berkeley and Yale. I have always lived in an austere world, but I do not give up my passion for the mountains, music and bus talk ”, reads his profile on the Tortuga website.

In the sights of many economists and dem technicians there are the exponents of the liberal study center Bruno Leoni in Palazzo Chigi: there is also Serena Sileoni, deputy director of the Institute.

Simona Genovese, Serena Sileoni and Alessandro Aresu: the staff of Palazzo Chigi has in fact been enriched with three new directors. The three experts work with Antonio Funiciello, Prime Minister Mario Draghi's chief of staff, even though the appointment has not yet been formalized.

Genovese had already worked at Palazzo Chigi with the former premier Paolo Gentiloni and was head of the technical secretariat of the undersecretary for publishing Martella. Sileoni teaches Constitutional Law of Economics at the Suor Orsola Benincasa University of Naples and is Deputy Director General of the Bruno Leoni Institute. Before his position in the executive, Aresu was head of the technical secretariat of Provenzano at the Ministry of the South in the Conte 2 government and was director of Deep Tech investments of the ENEA Tech Foundation and scientific director of the Enrico Letta School of Policies.

But not only in the Democratic Party it seems that there is puff:
