“Resignation from Messe Frankfurt with pain”

“The article in ‘Libero’ raised an truly non-existent problem that didn’t even need to be mentioned. But exactly because it was a completely obvious case and with none possibility of equivocation, I felt that the correctness of my behavior turned into puzzled, my professional seriousness in sporting out a government role, and I felt I had to resign. Talking to Adnkronos is Ricardo Franco Levia few hours after his choice to renounce the resignation as remarkable commissioner for Italy of the Frankfurt Fair 2024where our united states is the guest of honour.

The reference is to the object in ‘Libero’ which speaks of Levi’s choice to entrust the conversation of the Buchmesse to an business enterprise wherein his son Alberto might paintings. “Faced with this questioning of my professionalism, I felt that special interpretations could not be well-known in any manner – Levi articulates – and that the simplest way changed into to cut the bull’s head with the aid of giving the Minister of Culture the mandate as commissioner super for Frankfurt 2024”. A selection taken, says the president of the IEA, definitely no longer lightly. “I changed into very sorry study those matters in ‘Libero’ – explains Levi – and inside the letter of resignation to Minister Sangiuliano I underlined that I presented them to him with pain. Because that’s the way it become. I’ve been operating on it considering that 2017, I carried out a result that Italy hadn’t visible for 36 years, so I assume it’s a splendid appointment for Italian subculture and I’m sorry I can’t accompany it until the quit”.

The resignation has been surpassed over to Sangiuliano “the day prior to this afternoon – Levi reveals – and it changed into a exclusive word for the minister. Today he within the early afternoon called me personallyand I have to say that I liked his telephone name, a few minutes earlier than making his statement public, and he used extensively the same words in the assertion with me”. Specifically, “he repeated to me that it became not a non-public count, reiterating my his esteem and attention, and he instructed me that he could thank me publicly, however he stated similarly sincerely that he might accept the resignation in view of the desire to affect a discontinuity, used this time period. Therefore, the goal at the back of having conventional them seems absolutely clear to me”. “What if I expected them to be rejected? I felt I had to provide them and to give them in the institutionally correct way, this is via communicating them confidentially to the minister and leaving him the faculty of rejecting them as well as accepting them. He actually widely wide-spread them in a obvious preference of discontinuity”, Levi articulates to Adnkronos.
