The communication for the decadence of the entire CA of the Italian railways, announced on 25 July by the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Danilo Toninelli, arrived at its destination. According to what was learned, the communication, signed by the Minister of Economy, Giovanni Tria and Minister Toninelli, would be postponed after the meeting of the cabinet of yesterday. The members of the new council will be appointed at the F meeting that Minister Toninelli announced for Tuesday, July 31.

Botta and the response between the FS Council and the Minister of Transport Danilo Toninelli and the FS Council.

If the board of directors had listened to the shareholder, it would not have been denied, while it rejected to the sender the government's invitation asking to apply the rule of ethics to Mazzoncini, in lawsuit for fraud. That's what the Minister of Transport, Danilo Toninelli, said in an article on Facebook in which he states that "under the pretext of the unfortunate fusion Fs-Anas, Minister Padoan held at Renato's feet Mazzoncini, one who, on the one hand, he claimed that the bridge over the strait was a strategic infrastructure, but especially one that will go to court for alleged fraud against the state. "

" It is ridiculous – writes the minister – to be accused of wanting to occupy armchairs by certain political forces: their last government (Gentiloni), in charge only of current affairs and already dissolved chambers, with a blitz during the holidays at the end of 2017, has renewed for another three years a board of directors which should have expired last April ".

The response of the board of directors has not been delayed. "In reference to what has been declared by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, the Council of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane reiterates its strict and diligent compliance with the provisions of the statutes". This is what we read in a note from the board of directors of Ferrovie stating that the clarification is "to protect the reputation and professionalism of the Board, stressing that if we continue in similar statements undermining the dignity of the Council, the necessary actions will be activated. "In accordance with the Articles of Association – the board of directors of Fs – the board of directors may cause the director to lose due to the existence of a legal remedy or, as in this case , to submit to the Assembly the proposal to remain in office himself in order to safeguard the Company's pre-eminent interests. "Therefore – he continues – the CA did not circumvent the statutory provisions, but acted in full compliance with the same prerogatives, under the supervision of the oversight bodies that attend Board meetings.
