Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli has reportedly decided to revoke the appointments of Emanuele Merlino, head of the Culture Ministry’s technical secretariat, and Elena Proietti, head of the minister’s personal secretariat. According to a report by Corriere.it, the revocation decrees would be ready and the decision would mark a resetting of the current ministerial staff.
As for Merlino, who is considered close to Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council Giovanbattista Fazzolari, the decision to revoke would be linked to the affair of the documentary dedicated to Giulio Regeni, a project that did not receive financial support from the ministry. The executive would be charged with a failure to supervise the affair.
As for Elena Proietti, again according to Corriere.it, the decision would be linked to the minister’s non-participation in the institutional mission to New York last month, after her absence at the airport departure.
No official confirmation comes from the Ministry of Culture at the moment.
