  • ITALIA COMENTARIO GENERAL Situación Política a Los Tres Meses
    29 ITALIA COMENTARIO GENERAL Situación política A los tres meses de las elecciones y con el Gobierno finalmente formado, los partidos vencedores se están enfrentando ahora a lo que se podría llamar “el fracaso de su victoria”, a pesar de que el clima de inestabilidad política que vino a crearse después de las elecciones haya mejorado con la reelección de Napolitano ocomo Presidente de la República y con la constitución del nuevo Gobierno. El Partido Democrático, de centro-izquierda, se ha visto en la necesidad de encontrar un nuevo líder, tras la dimisión de Bersani, criticado por no haber sabido, después de las elecciones, dar los pasos justos para formar Gobierno ni haberse atrevido a presentar su propio candidato para la presidencia de la República, En una asamblea extraordinaria ha elegido como nuevo secretario provisional del partido hasta el próximo Congreso a Guglielmo Epifani, ex secretario general del primer sindicato italiano, CGIL, y prácticamente único candidato para estas elecciones internas, a las que no se han presentado los dos representantes actualmente más destacados del partido, el Primer Ministro, Enrico Letta, y el alcalde de Florencia, Matteo Renzi. Se espera que la verdadera batalla por el liderazgo del partido comience después del verano, en octubre, mes en el que está previsto el Congreso general del PD. «El Partido Democrático ha estado pasando por un período muy difícil», ha declarado Epifani. «No podemos escondernos de nosotros mismos, corremos el riesgo de tocar fondo», ha asegurado. El PD ha perdido la amplia ventaja con la que contaba en las encuestas de cara a las elecciones de febrero.

    PRESS NOTE WEBUILD COMPLETES SERRAVALLE TUNNEL FOR TERZO VALICO DEI GIOVI: EXCAVATION AT 65% OF COMPLETION WEBUILD CEO PIETRO SALINI:SUSTAINABILITY DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT JOBS, AT LEAST €300BLN IN INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS NEEDED MILAN, April 16, 2021 – Workers celebrated the breakthrough of a tunnel-boring machine (TBM) that marked the completion despite the difficulties posed by COVID-19 of the Serravalle tunnel, the second longest tunnel for the Terzo Valico dei Giovi high-speed/high-capacity railway project being developed in Italy by Consorzio Collegamenti Integrati Veloci (COCIV), the consortium led by Webuild. The milestone, which brings to 65% the amount of excavation completed, establishes an uninterrupted connection among the work sites along a 22-kilometre section of the railway on the side of Piemonte region of the project. The breakthrough inside a chamber of the Serravalle tunnel at the Libarna site near the municipality of Arquata in the province of Alessandria was witnessed by Italian Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility Minister Enrico Giovannini, who was connected remotely; Extraordinary Commissioner for the Terzo Valico dei Giovi and Genoa Junction projects, Calogero Mauceri; Webuild Chief Executive Pietro Salini; Ferrovie dello Stato Chief Executive and General Director Gianfranco Battisti; and Liguria and Piemonte governors Giovanni Toti and Alberto Cirio. “I see there is a big political debate over the Recovery Plan, which foresees investments in infrastructure over a period of six years for nearly €50 billion, representing 0.5% of GDP,” said Salini. “These resources need to be put together with other sources of financing. Before COVID-19, the country spent about 2% of GDP in infrastructure.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.
