But, attesting to the technocrat’s neutrality, back in August he also warned about the implications of demands by non-elected international institutions (in this case, the European Central Bank) for particular policies in exchange for support of Italian bonds in international markets. Monti called this podestà forestiero, something of a foreign overlordship based in Brussels, Washington, and Frankfurt, as well as Berlin and Paris.
例如，蒙蒂是首先对意大利财政危机发出警告的人之一。但出于技术官僚的中立性，在8月的时候他也针对非选举产生的国际组织（这里指欧洲央行）要求意大利实施特殊政策来换取支持其国债的后果发出过相关警告。蒙蒂把这种做法称为podestà forestiero（意为“从外地来上任的市长”），也是就以布鲁塞尔，华盛顿，法兰克福，柏林和巴黎为核心的外国压迫。
