Overview
- After months of negotiations, a two-hour face-to-face produced a deal placing the former governor as the president’s legal adviser rather than as an assessor.
- Decaro will issue a decree of appointment, which Emiliano will use to request aspettativa from the magistracy for evaluation by the CSM.
- The post is framed as a high-autonomy role intended to draw on Emiliano’s experience and national profile.
- A recent overhaul of the Maia advisory model reduced presidential advisers from 21 to 9, enabling a reported salary of about €130,000 per year for the position.
- With this dispute resolved, Decaro is moving to finalize the rest of his cabinet and related party or technical appointments.
