A gynecologist at the Court of Auditors, Pd-M5s-Avs ask Meloni for information

An urgent information from the President of the Council of Ministers on the possible indication of Marco Mattei at the Court of Auditors. This is what the opposition is asking for on the initiative of the 5 Star Movement. In the Chamber of Deputies, the deputy Alfonso Colucci in fact, he took the floor on the order of business “because it seems that the government is about to indicate Doctor Marco Mattei, a gynecologist who started his practice in the Castelli Romani, was mayor of Albano Laziale and regional councilor at the Polverini Council: a profile that is not very comparable with the role of magistrate in the Court of Auditors”, adds the Five Star Movement.

“The appointment is a competence of the Council of Ministers and it is worth remembering the designation made by the government of Raffaele Borriello to the position of magistrate of the Court of Auditors. That appointment took place on 17 January 2025 and after just seven days Minister Lollobrigida recalled him to the position of head of cabinet. A safe place was therefore needed, not a public function but life insurance. Doctor Marco Mattei is a friend of Giorgia and Arianna Meloniwe are faced with the most classic of measures based on friendship. But Marco Mattei”, adds Colucci, “also entered into the investigation Middle World. And I have here an order in which it says that Buzzi met at a restaurant with Carminati and the Lazio councilor Marco Mattei. And during the meeting Mattei showed some documents to Buzzi”, concludes Colucci. The Democrats also supported the information.

The Democratic Party’s criticism of the nomination

The deputy Toni Ricciardi he comments, on the edge of irony, that “a gynecologist who passes by the Court of Auditors makes one think that incest is about to be born. We join the information of the M5s colleague, Alfonso Colucci, so that the government convinces us that a gynecologist can become a magistrate of the Court of Auditors. We find ourselves faced with yet another attempt to want to occupy a prestigious, significant seat, made by a government that wants to limit the possibility of control of the Court of Auditors“. For Ricciardi, there are two possibilities: “Either the appointment of a gynecologist to the Court of Auditors is made to weaken it, or you are so devoid of credible figures that you have to turn to different professional figures. Also in light of the referendum result, justice and the machinery of control of powers and counter-powers deserve respect and caution.”

Avs’ position and the request for transparency

Also Avs agrees with the request for information: “It is useless to state the strategic importance of the Court of Auditors which guarantees the public treasury and safeguards the public interest, as required by the Constitution“, explains the deputy Devis Dori. “The information is therefore necessary, especially since we have heard President Meloni challenge us on legality in this chamber. The government has time to withdraw the appointment of Marco Mattei to the Court of Auditors as a magistrate. Our doubts are both regarding his skills and then also with respect to the juxtaposition of his name to unclear events, to be delicate. We ask that a person be appointed to the Court of Auditors who is above any reasonable doubt regarding his person”.
