Luigi Merlo, new I seize in the scaling of Unicredit the ports?



Perhaps it is obsession or old age symptom perhaps. But we do not succeed not pigs of new the same question: but he is normal?

Us we are asked recently when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has sponsored the project of the bank group UniCredit in order to realize a new port container to Trieste-Monfalcone ( on 15 November 2010). Us we are asked pure in occasion of the designation of Marina Monassi to the presidency of the Harbour Authority of Trieste, seat on which then one is assisa ( on 25 November 2010).

This time the question mark regards the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, Luigi Merlo, but the event is for many backs analogous to the precedence. Marina Monassi is passed by UniCredit to the Harbour Authority, while Merlon walks on the same distance but in inverse sense. Minister Frattini promotes and puts the project of UniCredit and Merlo comes place to the guide of a new organism of the same bank group.

UniCredit, in fact, has instituted two new advisory organs with the objective - it has explained the group - to monitor and to orient the activities of business of the bank on the Italian territory: draft of 18 Councils of Territory and three Divisional Advisory Committees. "These new organs - Gabriele Piccini has declared, Country Chairman Italy di UniCredit - complete the order of the UniCredit new in Italy and will have as main objective strategic that to ulteriorly strengthen the relationship with the local communities and, at the same time, not to lose the professionalities of the specializations to the aim to return the synergies between the businesses in terms of commercial effectiveness and efficiency more and more deep".

UniCredit has assigned a mandate to own Councils of Territory, that it is that to concentrate their participations and their initiatives on the thematic traditions of "internationalization, export and made in Italy, infrastructural modernization of the territory, development of districts and evolution of rows and nets of enterprise, agricultural and food- tourism and. It will be aimed moreover at the attention to the imprenditoria new, on the innovation, the education financial institution, the support to fields, companies and families in difficulty and on the green economy".

The presidency of the Council of Territory of UniCredit for the Liguria is offered to the president of the Harbour Authority of Genoa, that it has accepted.

These ties too much tightened between politics and finance, we confess it, not us piacciono. Therefore we wonder newly if all this is normal. To our warning it is not at all when minister Frattini, a politician and a representative of the government, supports a private project. But us it does not seem is not even in the others two cases. Do not come to us to say that, as presidents of Harbour Authorities, Monassi and Merlo they are not political. Al beyond passed theirs, it is it weren't for because they manage and they regulate goods and services publics.

Between the presidents of the babies Councils of Territory of UniCredit, the political role of Luigi Merlo enunciates between the other names, perlopiù legacies to the entrepreneurial world.

Perhaps our question is provoked own by the astonishment to have learned that Merlon, usually so careful to its role of guarantor of the harbour economy, of controller of the activity of the enterprises that work with the so ready port and to speed up equal rules for all, accepts to represent and to guide a completely legitimate community of private interests.
