Overview
- The government confirmed on Monday that the planned Council of Ministers nomination for a new ANAC president has been postponed and Matteo Salvini said the choice should not be rushed.
- Nuccio Altieri renounced his short‑lived designation after controversy over a recent party role, forcing the Lega to restart the search for a candidate acceptable under the law.
- A decree‑law that entered into force temporarily extends outgoing president Giuseppe Busia and current members only to ordinary administration and urgent, non‑deferrable acts to keep ANAC working.
- By statute the ANAC president must be proposed by the public administration minister in agreement with the justice and interior ministers and win a two‑thirds favourable opinion from parliamentary commissions, and candidates cannot have held party posts or elected office in the previous three years.
- Several names have circulated in the press as possible replacements but none are official and civil society groups warn that a partisan pick could weaken oversight of public contracts and conflicts of interest.
