New driver coming to ride the train of the Italian State Railways to the privatization. After the acceleration with the launch of the Cabinet Decree to open the market 40% of the Group, the Board of Directors has resigned, effectively eliminating top management. A move expected for days, behind which there is the will of the Government to put an end to the impasse created by the differences between the CEO. Michele Mario Elia and President Marcello Messori. And while the whole names now converges on Renato Mazzoncini, to of Busitalia (FS Group), is a growing concern of the unions, who fear that this acceleration is motivated only by the need of the government to raise cash. The resignation of the nine members of the board arrived at the meeting convened for today with the agenda completely different themes (renewal of the top overdue Trenitalia, appointment of the President of RFI and deliberates on the power grid to be sold to Terna ). The decision, however, was in the air last week, according to rumors, the Prime Minister Matteo Renzi would meet Elijah and Messori asking them to step back to end the stalemate resulted from the privatization of the two divisions (Elijah defender of the uniqueness of the Group, Messori in favor of a separation of RFI). Pressure that has resulted today with the resignation of the entire board of directors and the subsequent elimination of the leaders, appointed just a year and a half ago (late May 2014). Now will be the Ministry of Economy, with the 100% shareholder, to appoint at the meeting the new board and then also the new head of the company. Times are tight. The meeting will be convened “as soon as possible,” assures Fs: some say tomorrow, but it seems more likely that the day X is Monday. The will to do soon is also confirmed by the holder of Treasury Pier Carlo Padoan, “we will swiftly to appoint a management called to lead the company in the process of enhancing formally launched with the Cabinet Decree launched this week by the Government.” Messori and Elijah received thanks for the work of Minister Padoan and the owner of the infrastructure Graziano Delrio. But there are many who dislike the ‘marching orders’ given to the two managers, since there are reasons related to the management company (the company continues to make profits) and given the fact that some distinction on the privatization there would also be within the Government among Padoan and Delrio. For the leader of the CGIL Camusso ‘very concerned’ that behind the resignation there is the fact that the leaders have defended the integrity of the group. For Barbagallo (UIL) it is “wrong” to sell the family jewels. For the secretary of the CISL Giovanni Luciano “it falls apart something that works to pull up two pounds.” And also by the political rise criticism for lacking clarity Bersani and you risk the mess; Quagliariello (Idea) sees nell’azzeramento summits “reasons that have to do with employment of power.” For after Elijah, in pole position there Mazzoncini, whose name had been circulating as early as May 2014, in time to choose a successor to Mauro Moretti: Mazzoncini, Brescia born in 1968, considered close to Renzi, is the architect of privatization in 2012 – while he was mayor of Florence Renzi – public transport company ATAF Florence. For the post of president circulates instead the name of Simonetta Giordani, advisor of the board of directors resigned from Fs, former Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage in the government Letta. Meanwhile today Rfi scored its first acquisition, investing 6.5 million for the company Bari Fonderie Meridionali (BFM), historic factory specializing in the production of components for rail infrastructure.
