Renzi's cabinet (February 22, 2014)

The Renzi cabinet ruled Italy from February 22, 2014 to December 12, 2016. The government of Prime Minister Matteo Renzi , like the Letta cabinet before that , was divided by the social democratic Partito Democratico (PD), the Scelta Civica (SC) and the center -worn right-wing party Nuovo Centrodestra (NCD).

The Renzi cabinet formed the second government in the republic's 17th legislative period, which began in March 2013 . Enrico Letta and his cabinet resigned on February 14, 2014 after party chairman Matteo Renzi was able to prevail in an internal vote by the Partito Democratico with the demand for a new government he led. Major reforms of the Italian Senate and a new electoral law were among the priorities of the Renzi government .

Matteo Renzi was commissioned by President Giorgio Napolitano to form a government on February 17, 2014 . The list of ministers was published on February 21, the swearing-in of the prime minister and ministers took place on February 22 in the Quirinal Palace . On February 25, the new government received the confidence of Parliament . After the government's constitutional reform project failed in the constitutional referendum in Italy in 2016 , Matteo Renzi resigned on December 7, 2016. President Sergio Mattarella tasked the Renzi cabinet with the continuation of the current official business. The Gentiloni cabinet was sworn in on December 12, 2016 .

At the time of taking office, the Renzi cabinet consisted of eight ministers in addition to the Prime Minister; such a government structure has never existed in the history of Italy. The average age of cabinet members when they took office was 47. At the same time, Matteo Renzi was the youngest Prime Minister of Italy and the youngest head of government in the EU at 39 .

Some ministers were members of the previous government: Angelino Alfano, NCD chairman, remained minister of the interior, but had to give up the post of deputy prime minister, which is no longer in the Renzi cabinet; Maurizio Lupi (NCD) remained Minister of Infrastructure and Transport until March 2015, Beatrice Lorenzin (NCD) remained Minister of Health; Andrea Orlando, Environment Minister in the Letta cabinet, moved to the Ministry of Justice; Roberta Pinotti, previously State Secretary in the Ministry of Defense, became Italy's first female defense minister; Maurizio Martina, State Secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture under Letta, became Minister of Agriculture; Gianluca Galletti, previously State Secretary in the Ministry of Education, became Minister of the Environment; Graziano Delrio, Minister for Regional Affairs under Letta, became the highest-ranking State Secretary in the office of Prime Minister and thus Matteo Renzi's right-hand man until he took over the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport as Minister in April 2015. Several other state secretaries also belonged to the previous government.

Changes

Antonio Gentile had to resign as State Secretary on March 3, 2014 after an attempt to influence the reporting of the newspaper L'Ora della Calabria . Gentile had tried to prevent an article from appearing on a corruption scandal in which his son was involved; this had become public knowledge.

Foreign Minister Federica Mogherini resigned from her post at the end of October 2014 to take over as High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy . The new Foreign Minister was Paolo Gentiloni on October 31, 2014. At the same time, two new State Secretaries were appointed: Paola De Micheli succeeded Giovanni Legnini, who was appointed to the Consiglio Superiore della Magistratura (self-governing body of judges and prosecutors) in the Ministry of Finance , Davide Faraone succeeded Roberto Reggi in the Ministry of Education, who was in charge the real estate agency Agenzia del Demanio .

The Minister for Regional Affairs, Maria Carmela Lanzetta, resigned from her position on January 30, 2015 without publicly justifying her move. The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Maurizio Lupi, resigned on March 20, 2015 because of a corruption scandal. His office was taken over by Matteo Renzi's State Secretary Graziano Delrio on April 2, 2015. Delrio's post in the Prime Minister's office went to the previous Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Economic Development, Claudio De Vincenti, on April 10, 2015. The Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lapo Pistelli, resigned on June 15, 2015 and switched to the energy company Eni .

On January 29, 2016, a number of government offices were reassigned after the various resignations and changes of the past few months. The previous Deputy Minister in the Ministry of Justice, Enrico Costa, became the new Minister for Regional Affairs. The state secretaries in the ministries for foreign affairs and economics and finance, Mario Giro and Enrico Zanetti, were promoted to deputy ministers there. In the Ministry of Economic Development, the previous State Secretary in the Ministry of Labor, Teresa Bellanova, and the previous State Secretary in the Ministry of Constitutional Reform, Ivan Scalfarotto, were appointed deputy ministers. The economics professor and government advisor Tommaso Nannicini takes care of economic policy and the labor market as the new State Secretary in the Prime Minister's office. The PD MP Vincenzo Amendola was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. NCD Senator Federica Chiavaroli and PD MP Gennaro Migliore received state secretary posts in the Ministry of Justice. State secretaries in the Ministry of Cultural Property and Tourism were the NCD MP Dorina Bianchi and the SC MP Antimo Cesaro. The previous State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Development, Simona Vicari, moved to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. Antonio Gentile, who had to resign from his post of State Secretary in the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport at the beginning of March 2014, was appointed State Secretary in the Ministry of Economic Development (the case against him was closed). The fact that many of the posts went to politicians from smaller parties was interpreted as thanks to Renzi for their support.

Federica Guidi, Minister for Economic Development (Minister for Industry), announced her resignation on March 31, 2016 because it became known that she had politically supported the business interests of her partner and thus also of the French energy company Total . Carlo Calenda, who had been Vice Minister under Guidi until March 2016, took over her position.

Remarks

  1. "Vice Minister" has been an additional term in Italy since 2001 for (sub) state secretaries in a prominent position, who relieve the respective minister in a special way. The number of vice ministers is limited to ten. See Ministry (Italy) and legal bases
  2. The equivalent of German or Austrian state secretaries is called Sottosegretario di Stato or "Unterstaatssekretär" in Italy . Segretario di Stato or "State Secretary" is a not very common synonym for minister (with a portfolio) in Italy . In rare cases it is mentioned as an additional official title (Ministro - Segretario di Stato) .
