For the drafting of the Recovery Plan, the Ministry of Economy and Finance will make use of the collaboration of McKinsey.
This is what the newspapers La Repubblica and Il Fatto report.
For the consultancy, the company, writes Repubblica, "should only receive a sort of reimbursement of expenses".
The government would have opted for this solution, given the very short time available.
The collaboration, writes the newspaper, "will be exclusively technical".
"With McKinsey we will have to evaluate the costs and impact (following the European rules) of the various projects".
The Mef, it continues, "has also asked the American group to examine any projects already carried out in other countries".
And the political controversy breaks out
.
"The Draghi Government calls McKinsey to write the Recovery Plan: the technicians of the technicians. No, this is just not right. Thus, the competences of the public administrations are humiliated and political accountability is removed. Parliament must intervene".
Thus in a tweet
Stefano Fassina
member of the LeU.
"With all due respect to McKinsey, if the news that came out today were true, it would be pretty bad."
Thus the former Minister for Regional Affairs,
Francesco Boccia
, comments on the rumors to Rainews 24.
"'The governance of the PNRR is rooted in the Ministry of Economy and Finance with the very close collaboration of the competent Ministries', said Draghi to the Senate. If the scheme has changed, it must be communicated and motivated to Parliament".
So on Twitter the senator of the Democratic Party
Antonio Misiani
.
"I relaunch and make my own the questions posed by Fabrizio Barca. What is happening at Palazzo Chigi? It is true that external technicians of a consultancy firm called in secret, as the director of Radio Popolare Alessandro Gilioli writes. ? With what mandate? On the basis of what decision? ". This was stated by the national secretary of the Italian Left,
Nicola Fratoianni
.
"Given that the previous government was" stoned "on governance that expropriated Parliament, this would be quite serious. As well as grotesque. Meanwhile, while waiting for someone to answer the questions posed by Barca, - concludes Fratoianni - I will present a parliamentary question" .
"I do not find it inconvenient and even less scandalous if the Minister of the Economy Daniele Franco has asked for the help of McKinsey, a management consulting firm, to speed up the review and drafting of the National Resilience and Recovery Plan that must be delivered to the European Commission by April 30. It would be useful and positive, however, to offer a minimum of explanations on this advice, above all to remove any shadow or suspicion from the technicians of via XX Settembre about their adequacy and competence ".
This was stated by the deputy Osvaldo Napoli, deputy of Cambiamo !.
