Riccardo Fraccaro (born 13 January 1981) is an Italian politician, who served in the government of Italy as Minister for Parliamentary Relations and Direct Democracy in Giuseppe Conte's first cabinet.

He served as Secretary of the Council of Ministers of Italy from 5 September 2019 to 13 February 2021.

Early life and education

Fraccaro was born in Montebelluna on 13 January 1981. He holds a bachelor's degree in international environmental law from the University of Trento in 2011.[citation needed]

He worked as an employee of an energy company.[citation needed]

Political career

He was elected Deputy for the first time in the 2013 Italian general election; subsequently he was elected secretary of the Bureau of Presidency of the Chamber of Deputies.[citation needed]

In the 2018 general election he was candidate in the uninominal constituency of Pergine Valsugana, but he placed third. He was nevertheless elected Deputy in the plurinominal constituency of Trentino-Alto Adige.[citation needed]

On 1 June 2018 Fraccaro was appointed Minister for Parliamentary Relations and Direct Democracy of the Conte I Cabinet.[1]

In September 2019, Fraccaro was appointed "cabinet undersecretary" (Secretary of the Council of Ministers of Italy) in the Conte II Cabinet,[2] after the failure of Matteo Salvini's vote of non-confidence.[3][4][5]

In November 2020, Fraccaro called for the cancellation by the European Central Bank (ECB) of "sovereign bonds bought during the COVID-19 pandemic or perpetually extending their maturity."[6] He also proposed a "green rule" that would exempt "public expenditures related to environmental investment from deficit calculations." Fraccaro said: "The ECB does not have an issue with debt - it can print as much money as it wants."[2]
