Formez PA has initiated several public recruitment drives across Italy, including 24 expert positions for regional projects in Abruzzo, Sicily, and remote roles in Sardinia and the Department of Public Function. Some roles offer remuneration up to 73,150 euros. In Basilicata, regional councilors from the Basilicata Casa Comune group have raised concerns regarding the transparency of selection procedures for projects funded through Formez PA. The councilors identified coincidences in the lists of selected professionals, noting links to political positions, regional councilor collaborators, and specific family circles. In response to these concerns, councilors have submitted a written inquiry to Regional President Vito Bardi. They are requesting detailed reports on resource commitment, specific assignments, selection methods, and the reasons for contract extensions, following claims that regional departments have not provided complete responses to previous document access requests. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: Formez PA announces job selections in Abruzzo, Sicily, and remote roles Formez PA is recruiting 24 experts for regional projects in Abruzzo, Sicily, and remote roles, with applications open until November 5, 2026. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/formez-pa-announces-job-selections-in-abruzzo-sicily-and-remote-roles ### 2026-10-26: Basilicata regional councilors question Formez PA selection transparency Basilicata councilors Angelo Chiorazzo and Giovanni Vizziello are questioning the impartiality of Formez PA selections for regional projects due to alleged political and familial ties among appointees. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/basilicata-regional-councilors-question-formez-pa-selection-transparency --- Cite as: Formez PA selection and transparency concerns.
