Vendola, the policy in time of Obama -
Failed bank takeovers, it seems that we now want to throw on the privatized water systems. It seems that among the many aqueducts of Italy that desires most is the Apulian aqueduct because it is the largest aqueduct in Europe, with a water network of 20,000 km, 400 ski lift, more ; of 300 tanks, 161 sewage treatment plants, 20.8 m3 / s flow and a system of 150 companies with more than 10,000 employees.
Throughout the First Republic and also for part of the Second (the first Berlusconi government and the Dini government) no one has ever questioned the membership of the aqueducts to their communities and then to the regions. But after the fall of morality also created holes in the financial management of some water systems, and then it was thought to privatization as a panacea to combat wasteful public. The first to feel this way was when Romano Prodi came to power in 1996. Public Works Minister Antonio Di era Peter was forced, against his will (because of its current positions contrary to the privatization), to prepare a draft decree to privatize the AQP.
The misguided attempt fails because Mediobanca (which was still in the hands clean of Enrico Cuccia) says that, in the case of public tender, the Apulian Aqueduct would be acquired or by the Société des Eaux or Belgique des Eaux in short, a French-speaking society. General outcry and the operation becomes. We must ensure that foreign companies do not know anything. Two years later (1998) falls Prodi and Massimo D'Alema succeeds. On 11 May 1999 D'Alema becomes self-governing body in Aqueduct Aqueduct Pugliese Pugliese SpA (the largest shareholder in Treasury) in order to give the new company the freedom of choice in identifying the buyer. Soon after 2000 to 2001 D'Alema is committed to a long and exhausting negotiations for the private sale of AQP ENEL, which was already privatized. Enel
Even though the deal fails because Raffaele Lease, President of the Puglia region and because it gets in the way not agree on the evaluation (minimum) that Enel makes AQP, both because it requires that the regions of Puglia and Basilicata have, however, a significant proportion of participation in the new corporate organization. Lease the position is clear: if the company is strongly shared by the public if they can talk, otherwise niet.
In December 2001, new Prime Minister Berlusconi ricede Aqueduct Pugliese free of charge by the Treasury to the regions of Puglia and Basilicata (respectively 87% and 13%) with the condition that the institution be privatized by 6 months. A clear way to compromise to make sure that the AQP is privatized (not to displease D'Alema) but that the region, then center-right, has the knife on the side of the neck (not to displease Lease).
Among the many candidates, instead of Enel, this time it has a consortium made up of Roman Roberto Colaninno, Francesco Gaetano Caltagirone and ACEA, the municipal public-private companies in the municipality of Rome (51%) , partly private (49%), which provides water, electricity and gas to all of Rome, with a turnover of 300 billion per year and profits of 200 million.
The continued delay in the privatization process of the aqueduct Lease to expose an endless string of criticism from national and regional center, which are the most aggressive Sandro Frisullo (DS leader in the region) and Francesco Boccia (Economy Alderman to the City of Bari). Then begin to Lease a variety of processes, the other a more unfounded, then that will culminate in a request for arrest in Parliament, which is resoundingly criticized even by Fausto Bertinotti recasts.
Debates and controversies in the meantime go on without end until every possibility of privatization was completely cleared in 2005, when Nichy Vendola, unexpectedly won the regional elections. Vendola water is an ideological issue, saying he was absolutely opposed to any liberal ambitions and profoundly convinced of the need to maintain the water management in "public hands". The apparent acrimony between Olive and Vendola is born from differences on the future regional water and grows more and more during his tenure for the appointment of administrators at the top of AQP absolutely opposed to any notion of privatization. It seems that there is a rule that when certain political attitudes are not welcome to play well is to break and smash. In the last years of his mandate Vendola be found to deal with a series of scandals in which, however, he has to do very little because they are all due to misconduct of members of the PD's first scandal (2008) was born of taking 31 people at the AQP made by Francis in Divella last days of his tenure. Among the fortunate son of the then commissioner of public works Onofrio Introna (PD), who resigned immediately after the news.
In February this year there is the scandal that affects the commissioner Alberto German Socialist Dalem, Vendola come away from the view of a guarantee and first arrest, immediately recycled in the Senate instead of mighty De Castro, hijacked in Europe, at the request of D'Alema.
And then finally in July, this time even further investigation of the DDA Bari, headed by PM Digeronimo. At this point Vendola loses his temper and kicked out of the county council five commissioners, including 3 of the current D'Alema, saying nothing to D'Alema. It replaces them with assessors not dalemiani. All hell broke loose!
Someone insinuated that these scandals have been caused on purpose just to embarrass Vendola according to the renewal of the President of the Puglia Region. In other words, to burn. It will be so? Just
concurrently with the scandals of the Puglia Region, all - as we said - due to conduct of members of the PD, he began his attack on multiple fronts to President Vendola and who has since become his sponsor, the former Michele Dalem Emiliano, Mayor of Bari in the European elections, in which Vendola is entitled to submit its list of "Left and Freedom", his movement, he was heavily criticized by members of the PD, Part dalemiana, not canddiatura like that.
Meanwhile, in view of possible replacement Nichy Vendola the top of the Apulia Region rekindle interest on the AQP ACEA Roman and Roman financier Gaetano Caltagirone.
In view of this year in Rome have launched the first attempts at dialogue between DS, UDC and AN Romans. Gianni Alemanno (AN) became mayor of Rome in April 2008, is an agreement with Massimo D'Alema. Friday, May 8, 2009 Alemanno, decides to enter the PD on the Board of Directors of ACEA, the mixed public-private Roman managing the water supply to Rome and, unhappy with the part of the PD lettiana, appoint counsel for ' body of a man D'Alema, the Peruzy Andrea, a former member of the Board of Directors of Alenia, printing, agricultural credit, shareholder Suez de France (the other big French company that manages the business of water) and treasurer of the foundation dalemiana Italianieuropei.
-Aleman alliance D'Alema is strengthened and is repeated five days later, May 13, 2009, when the council is the Capitoline Rome-Mediterranean Foundation, an agency that will manage the next five years, 1.5 million euro to promote the image of the city of Rome in the Mediterranean basin. This project also involved the London Bridge Company Ltd, formed May 12, 2009, that is just 24 hours before the resolution of the City Council, from the "banker red" Vincenzo De Bustis known in relations of friendship with D'Alema and he financed the foundation Italianieuropei. The new block
ACEA (PD + AN) combined with Caltagirone (and therefore UDC) is a cross-battleship that this time can not fail.
Berlusconi, slap in the Lodo Alfano, to whom the promise is confirmed before the Constitutional Court by President Giorgio Napolitano in September 2009 issued a decree-law which states that with all public services (including water supply) should be entrusted to private entrepreneurs or companies or companies with mixed public and private, that is, but only in exceptional cases and in the presence of proven management needs, a company wholly public.
The decree does not say whether joint ventures in the majority of shares must be public or private. Therefore leaves the door open to an even decent.
From this moment on the tug of war between the two souls of the Left (the one favorable to the privatization of the aqueduct and the contrary) is strengthening even more Vendola because the president proclaims the water, "the common good of humanity" and even offers an appeal to the Constitutional Court for recognition of the exclusive jurisdiction of the Region in the field of public waters. In contrast, the economy of the town of Bari Councillor Francesco Boccia said publicly that the idea of privatization should be resumed.
In view of the regional elections of 2010 will strengthen the covenant between D'Alema and Casini, not being able to publicly talk about a convergence of Fini. However, this alliance (PD-UDC) does not have enough votes to win, so it should also be the contribution of IDV Di Pietro's party. Hence, the consortium Boccia (PD)-Mop (IDV)-Poli Bortone (South I-UDC), who speculate on the misfortunes of judicial Nichy Vendola (due, as we have said, to conduct members of the PD) suggests an application & ldquo ; ethics "as president of the region of the same PD Francesco Boccia, Francesco Boccia
is he - coincidentally - that in recent years, more than anyone has spent on the planned privatization of AQP.
Except that at some point on the Net and someone complains trappolone this rope breaks. IDV is said against the privatization of AQP and then hastily leaves the candidacy of his mouth. IO South does the same. The PD (especially the current lettiana) Blind to the ricandidatura Nichy Vendola as President of the Region. "My hands are tied, I do not have the strength to overcome the ricandidatura of the Nichi-Sell - said Nov. 4 Bersani us to Casini. E Casini back: "You have to decide if you want to ally with us or re-nominate Vendola. We can not support this no-me ".
The rest is history. Vendola autoricandidato was at the helm of the Region, furious for what has been done. The PD is embarrassed. If the EU backs his candidacy loses the UDC, and then - probably - lose the election. If you do not lose the relationship with the support Vendola that is, national secretary of a party allied Left and Freedom. The 'IDV does not know how to get on (the water from Puglia). The People's Party because of the candidacy of Vendola broke the pact with PD and AN and has begun to spread with Berlusconi., With whom he is treating the names of possible candidates, most notably Stefano D'Ambruoso, magistrate.
At this point in the election campaign is likely to hear of joint enterprise or public majority or a strong public participation in asset management company or the continuity of public AQP. The total privatization of the party has now lost to AQP. This time we are saved, but the next?
