Decaro Names Emiliano Senior Adviser, Excludes Him From Puglia Cabinet

His appointment still requires CSM approval for judicial leave.

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.
