Free AccessMNI: Renzi Democrats Aim To Oust BOI Visco; Parl Adopts Motion
By Silvia Marchetti
ROME (MNI) - Italy's Democratic Party, led by former premier Matteo Renzi,
have formally requested in parliament that Bank of Italy governor Ignazio Visco
not be re-confirmed for a second mandate.
Their anti-Visco motion was approved Tuesday evening in the Lower House
with 213 yes votes out of a total 315, underlining wide support to change the
Bank's governor.
In the document, the Democrats ask the "government to adopt useful
initiatives to reinforce the efficiency of the bank's supervision on the banking
system to safeguard savers and to boost trust among citizens by identifying, to
such end, the most qualified figure able to ensure a renewed confidence".
The Democrats in parliament do not directly appoint Visco's successor,
which is a prerogative of the government.
But the vote will certainly stand as a marker and could be a turning point
towards a new, different appointment, according to party sources, who argue how
Visco's credibility has weakened.
Visco's mandate expires on October 31. Renzi has more than once criticized
Visco for a lack of control in preventing several banking crises that have
rocked Italy.
The central bank has responded that every decision taken and every move
made to safeguard Italy's banking system was always taken in accordance with the
government. The bank is ready to submit all necessary documents to the
parliamentary commission set-up to investigate bank defaults, and Visco is
willing to be questioned on the issue, said sources close to the bank.
