finances in Lucan and the amoral familism Feb 25 in Basilicata we held the opening ceremony of the judicial year of the Court of Auditors. Here is an extract from the report of the Regional Prosecutor Michele Oricchio.

also operate in many Basilicata mountain communities, the ATO, the ARDSU the ARPAB, the ATER, the ALSIA, the Rab, the Basin Authority for the Basilicata, the Coordination Committee of institutional labor policies, the Consortium High Val d'Agri, il Consorzio Bradano e Metaponto, il Consorzio di bonifica Vulture-Alto Bradano, l’Ente parco archeologico storico-naturale delle chiese rupestri del Materano, l’Ente parco delle piccole dolomiti lucane, l’Istituto zooprofilattico di Puglia e Basilicata , l’Osservatorio regionale della costa di cui alla l.r. n.39 del 2009 e, buon ultimo, la “film commission” sui cui costi di funzionamento è stata già richiamata l’attenzione di questa Procura. Fra le società partecipate meritano menzione la Metapontum agrobios s.r.l., la Società energetica lucana , Acqua s.p.a. e l’Acquedotto lucano s.p.a. Vi sono poi l’Ente Parco Nazionale del Pollino e l’ Ente parco nazionale dell’appennino Basilicata - Val d'Agri: this is the youngest National Park of Italy, established by Presidential Decree of 'December 8, 2007 and still in progress in settling its bureaucratic structure, it was established by Presidential Decree of 8 December 2007, issued after a long gestation institutional side since 1991, with the approval of the Framework Law on Protected Areas No 394/91. One would think that with all these bodies and administrators in the public interest is assured! Yet we can say that there is none of them that is not affected by this Attorney surveys solicited from citizens and local groups who see in them a certain cost and a utility uncertain and ask to check the "good performance": in fact, by Decree of the Ministry of Agricultural Policy of the 12.05.2010 was revoked the recognition of Rab as paying agency for EAGGF and EAFRD expenditure schemes for the region of Basilicata, decision which found, among his key-assumptions, the results of supervision of the Basilicata region, whose acknowledgment has occurred with the DGR 233 of 09.02.2010.
The ARPAB is subject to stringent investigations to ascertain the extent of operating costs incurred in recent years unjustified, the ALSIA - home to Matera - is now for months constantly attention from the Guardia di Finanza on specific investigative powers of this Attorney arising to be expressed and disturbing reports of sub-regional bodies danno.Oltre you look at the phenomenon of widening participation in a totalitarian society or predominantly public that bring to mind all the vices and few virtues of the old state holdings and were defined by the President of the Italian Competition forms of municipal neosocialismo . In all these bodies the arrangements for recruitment of employees and for determining the salary of the directors are often free areas on which the prosecutor is trying to shed light even amid many difficulties, having to report to the community as t roppo spesso gli stipendi siano determinati in proporzione alle indennità dei consiglieri regionali , proprio attraverso provvedimenti legislativi adottati dal Consiglio regionale con una certa qual generosità. Il fenomeno così denunciato, a valenza ovviamente non solo locale , ad avviso di questo requirente, per essere validamente fronteggiato dovrebbe essere affrontato eliminando a monte le occasioni di spreco, intervenendo sulla dissennata politica di proliferazione degli enti pubblici attraverso un recupero di potestà legislativa statale : la vicenda delle Comunità montane dimostra come questa sia la via maestra da perseguire ! Il delineato sistema non solo è costellato da frequenti “ conflitti di amministrazione” but also takes us away from the mandatory constitutional provisions according to which "the public offices are organized according to the law so as to ensure the smooth running of the Administration and impartiality .... Employment in public administration is accessed through the competition, except expressly provided by law. ... Civil servants are the exclusive service of the Nation. "
We are, however, opposite ad una pluralità di pubbliche amministrazioni che, anche in Basilicata, presentano costi palesi od occulti sproporzionati rispetto ai servizi che offrono ai cittadini contribuendo a creare forme di cattiva gestione della finanza pubblica allargata sovente caratterizzate da quella logica che , a metà degli anni cinquanta , il sociologo americano Banfield efficacemente denominò “ familismo amorale ”. Conferma di ciò si ricava dall’esame per categorie delle principali patologie attenzionate dalla Procura regionale nello scorso anno che sono così raggruppabili :
a) Costruzione di opere pubbliche inutilizzate o inutilizzabili , esorbitanti le reali esigenze, o con costi finali eccessivi rispetto a quelli preventivati;
b) Debiti fuori bilancio a seguito di sentenze di condanna del giudice civile, spesso evitabili con una più attenta difesa degli interessi dell’ente;
c) Disinvolto utilizzo di beni pubblici, cattiva manutenzione e cura degli stessi, acquisto a costi eccessivi e loro sottoutilizzazione,
d) Erogazioni di provvidenze economiche indebite a favore CDs or false disabled persons who lack legal requirements;
s) excessive use external advice and conventions especially in legal matters and health without any evaluation of internal expertise;
f) Reliance increasing outsourcing of public services in ; remarkable phenomenon of the service contracts to cooperatives with substantial social costs;
g) repeated proceedings by part of government contracts di lavoro interinale al di fuori delle ipotesi di legge e senza realizzare alcuna economia di bilancio ;
h) Mancanza di tempestivi controlli sulla utilizzazione di provvidenze pubbliche anche comunitarie (L.488/1992 ) tanto con riferimento ad iniziative commerciali che nel settore agro-alimentare .
i) Cattiva gestione dei fondi P.O.N . da parte delle Amministrazioni scolastiche ;
l) Discutibili procedure di assunzione e affidamento of management positions as well as vertical progressions in all local authorities;
There is no fail to see how much of the reported problems only twenty years ago could not occur: the ' weakening the rule of law, the more extensive devolution of autonomy and the use of private law that is not logical always functional to the pursuit of the public are certainly the main contributory causes of the alleged "benefit" against whom - always in full compliance with the law, tries to make the bank's action Attorney firm. are also of great concern the problems of off-balance sheet debt (particularly present at both the municipality and province in Potenza ), that of entering into derivative financial contracts (the "SWAP") by Lucan many municipalities, the revocation of the treatments pensionisticilegati civil invalidity, that the unreasonable length of proceedings. Subject active consideration are also issues related to oil extraction in Valdagri, the production of alternative energy sources (wind power), cost containment for the coastal erosion along the ion beam, the waste cycle, vocational training, exposure to asbestos, absenteeism, all'indebita perception of incentives and allowances (....).
