Absentee parliamentarians, Angelucci present in 13 votes out of 7,508 (without losing a euro)
In Italy i absentee parliamentarians they are almost always justified, so many senators and deputies, despite practically never setting foot in the Chamber, manage not to lose even a single euro. A parliamentarian – reports Milena Gabanelli’s Dataroom on Il Corriere della Sera – collects every month between 13 and 15 thousand euros. Article 69 of the Constitution requires that the compensation be established. Today the figure is around 5 thousand euros net. The rest are reimbursements for parliamentary activity, ranging from the daily allowance (3,500 euros) to the reimbursement of expenses (3,690 euros for deputies, 5,830 for senators) partly to be documented and partly flat-rates and other expense items. The most complete data are those processed by Openpolis: despite the loose ends in the current legislature the average absence is 30.6% in Montecitorio, and 21.6% in Palazzo Madama. There is the case of the Sicilian deputy Antonino Minardo (moved from Forza Italia, then Lega and now to the Mixed Group): in the Chamber has 47 votes (0.63%). But being President of the Defense Commission turns out to be on mission most of the time, 7,419 times, which makes its very high attendance percentage: 99.44%.
Also the deputy Giulio Tremonti (Brothers of Italy) is very often on mission: 6,500 times. It has 266 votes in the chamber, equal to 3.54% of the total, but the attendance percentage is 90.12%. On the top step of the podium – continues Il Corriere – there is Antonio Angeluccideputy of the League: from the beginning of the XIX Legislature, i.e. from 13 October 2022, to the end of May 2024, he was present at 13 votes in the Chamber out of 7,508equal to 99.83% absences. He is a member of the Foreign and Community Affairs Commission, but has never been on a mission, yet it appears justified for 85.92%, and therefore will not suffer any reduction. Even Silvio’s ex-partner Berlusconi it has very low numbers. Martha Fascinating was absent in 92.8% of the votes. She is secretary of the Defense Commission, but she has never participated in any mission, but she was her “justified” 80.26% of the time.
