The spotlight is inevitably on the heads of the country’s main supervisory and guarantee authorities, whose mandates have already expired some time ago without the majority parties having reached an agreement on a successor, but the nomination game is much broader. Meanwhile, at Consob, Paolo Savona’s mandate ended on 8 March, leaving the pro-tempore leadership to Chiara Mosca. A situation defined as “an anomaly” by the Economy Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti himself, who called for a quick solution despite the vetoes between the League and Forza Italia. Similar scenario to the Antitrust, where Roberto Rustichelli’s presidency officially ended on May 5th.
A maxi-round of 117 deadlines
The nomination game, however, is much broader and more complex than just the risk of the Authorities. According to the findings of the Chamber’s Control Service on mandates in public bodies, by 31 December 2026 there will be 117 seats to be assigned or renewed, distributed within 36 different state bodies. These are assignments that have already expired on June 1st or that will come to a natural conclusion in the next few months.
Spotlights on INPS and ENAC
The first time test is set for early July. In fact, the Policy and Supervisory Council (CIV) of the INPS will expire, having come to the end of its four-year mandate (which began in June 2022); Furthermore, the body already has two operational defections among its 24 members. The five-year mandate of the president of ENAC, Pierluigi Umberto Di Palma, will also expire on the same days. For the leadership of the National Civil Aviation Authority (which also has two vacant positions on the council) the procedure will require a decree from the President of the Republic on the proposal of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, while for the councilors it will proceed via Prime Ministerial Decree.
What’s new at Anac and vacancies in other Authorities
Another crucial turning point is scheduled for 11 September 2026, when the six-year mandate of the president of the Anac, Giuseppe Busia, will expire, together with that of the councilors Consuelo del Balzo, Laura Valli, Luca Forteleoni and Paolo Giacomazzo. For the Anti-Corruption Authority, a total reset is looming, given that current legislation expressly prohibits the reconfirmation of outgoing members.
Finally, there are staff vacancies to be filled in other key institutions: the Privacy Guarantor must replace member Guido Scorza (who resigned last January), temporarily reducing the board to three members under the leadership of Pasquale Stanzione,
