A government summit on Friday
found agreement on a new head for the government bank, Cassa
Depositi e Prestiti (CDP), and the post of Treasury director
general sources said.
The summit agreed to promote CDP financial director Fabrizio
Palermo to CEO of the institute, sources said.
Alessandro Rivera was named new director-general of the
Treasury by the government summit on key appointments on Friday,
government sources said.
The summit on appointments had been scrubbed on Thursday,
fuelling speculation about disagreements.
Deputy Premier Luigi Di Maio said Friday he had "never"
asked for the resignation of Economy Minister Giovanni Tria over
reported differences on the government's economic policy.
Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said after the reported
differences of opinion over appointments Friday that "I'm
extremely happy for what we've done in these 50 days, I never
quarrelled with anyone".
Salvini, who is also deputy premier and leader of the
anti-migrant Euroskeptic League (L) party, said he had heard
from his government partner and fellow deputy premier,
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) leader Di Maio.
"We've always worked well: certainly, choosing the best
people sometimes takes more than a quarter of an hour or two
days, but that is the method we will adopt for any appointment
now or in the future".
