The fall of the Draghi government will also have repercussions on the privatization of ITA Airways. The sale of the airline born from the ashes of Alitalia in the hands of the consortium led by MSC and Lufthansa was in fact frozen at the Treasury: the agreement for the transfer of ownership of the company was already defined for a few days, but the fall of the executive made sure you do blocked everything waiting to understand whether to decide should be the current majority or the next one. In a nutshell, it remains to be seen whether this operation falls within the “handling of current affairs”.
In fact, we recall that we will go to vote to elect the new Parliament on September 25th, and until then the current government will remain in office to carry out only the ordinary operations, nothing more. According to what reported by Il Corriere della Sera this morning on newsstands, “The choice on ITA resembles the ordinary administration that follows one procedure: there was a Dpcm (that of the sale), a tender was made, the binding offers arrived (from Msc-Lufthansa and Certares) and one of these is liked ”. The newspaper talks about three important risks in the light of what is happening: first of all that the procedure comes to a halt; then that we go to the clash with the EU which has tied 1.35 billion public euros to the finalization of an alliance within the year; finally, that ITA drains the entire cash register by 2023.
