Government allies the 5-Star
Movement (M5S) and the League have agreed that Rome economics
lecturer Pasquale Tridico should replace the outgoing head of
the INPS social security and pensions agency, Tito Boeri, M5S
and League sources said Wednesday.
Former labour ministry secretary general Francesco Verbaro
may become Tridico's No.2, although this is not yet certain, the
sources said.
The term of Boeri, a vocal critic of the government's
policies, ended on Saturday.
Tridico, who lectures at Roma Tre University, is credited
with being the brain behind the government's new basic income, a
flagship M5S campaign pledge.
