The number of chauffeur-driven
official cars, dubbed 'blue cars' and seen as irritating symbols
of privilege, fell by 1,049 or 3.3% last year, the civil service
ministry said Thursday. The widely hated cars were first slashed
in 2015 and the ministry led by Marianna Madia is monitoring
their use, ministry sources said. Madia has been leading a drive
to reduce perks and abuses of office, bidding to make the civil
service more meritocratic, transparent and accountable.
