Waste. A word that Interior Minister Anna Maria Cancellieri , delivered in a sunny day of August, talking about the need to revise the mechanism that regulates stocks and not just politicians . Thanks to the controversy involving Speaker of the House , Fini, and his 9 men stationed at Orbetello to cover the safety of the leader of Fli and the family on vacation , the Minister has not made ​​prayer to say that , in times of crisis like these you have to cut , without ideological fury , while acknowledging that " there are many mitigating factors when you need to ensure the safety and the holiday entitlement of men of the State, especially in summer , but the regulation has to change , and also the sensitivity of the individual must enter in tune with the sensibilities of the times , because the money of the citizens can and should be spent better, much better . " Words dictated by common sense , however, have insulted Italo Bocchino. Fini 's right-hand shot against the minister balls chained "After the sentences on stocks, Monti admits that the Minister Clerks is inadequate to the role ."
No reply from the government , but by the Presidency of the House all right: " I reiterate my total confidence in the minister - he replied Fini, disavowing blatantly Mouthpiece - also with regard to the stocks ." Fini then in an open letter to the Republic has asked " the minister publicly Clerks to intervene immediately in the manner he considers appropriate , to allow me to not enjoy more than a ' legal privilege ' ."
The story of the escort Fini on vacation, however, has made it possible to reopen the question of the cost of the protection offered by the state to about 600 personality under Italian protection . It is a department that stocks , which employs about 4000 men and 2k machines . It weighs in the pockets of taxpayers for about 250 million euro per year. To make more efficient service over the last three years have been purchased over 2000 new cars, at a cost of about 120 million euro : it is about 600 BMW series 3 and 5, a hundred Audi 6 each of the cost of 140 thousand Euros ( are armored cars ) in addition to 300 thousand euro spent on the purchase of the Audi A8 and Bmw7 . There is no exact census of the vehicle fleet armored but in the end the number should be somewhere around 1,500 cars .
You have to remember one thing. That car stocks are used primarily to ensure the safety of 263 judges, half of which is located in Sicily and Calabria ; 90 parliamentarians and government ; 21 mayors and regional governors , ambassadors and eight of 21 trade unionists and journalists including Mauritius Belpietro , the director of Free , who is under guard for eight years. However , sixteen of these people it is the device maximum , ie two or three armored cars with more than eight agents supplied. 82 others have dual machine with six armed men , while 312 have only one armored car with a couple of agents. A further 174 personality , however, has been granted a normal car with one or two military protection .
In total, the Interior Ministry has ordered 585 close protection services that , in detail, bulletproof cars mean 650 , not 300 armored car , about two thousand agents , financiers , police and prison guards plus another 400 men to watch over homes and offices . In many cases alternating on two shifts , with double expenditure for personnel and machines (see the case Fini ) . There are , then , the so-called " stocks eternal ." That is the kind of protection that does not end even though it failed , over time, the pattern of protection . According to the list of the police union Coisp many celebrities continue to use the service while not covering any more charge : Oliviero Diliberto ten years continues to spin with driver and agent , former deputy Carlo Taormina has four men ; Mario Baccini, that is no longer Secretary since 2005 , still has five bodyguards . Among the former chairmen of the House and Senate , Irene Pivetti had the stock for more than ten years ( but not anymore ) and Fausto Bertinotti is still escorted by agent in tow. The former governor of Calabria, Agazio Loiero , three and four financiers the League's Frederick Bricolo . Some of these figures are already in the process of revision .
