“We must understand each other: if in December the Volkswagen has surpassed in sales in Italy Stellarif Italian citizens preferred to buy a car produced abroad rather than one made in Italy, given similar market conditions and incentives, the problem is not with the government but with the company“. Thus the Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, speaking at an event of the Trento Chamber of Commerce. “Could it be a marketing problem? Of attractive models? But it is a problem for the company which evidently needs to review its policies. If they did,” he added.
“In recent years – noted Urso – 40% of the incentives went to Stellantis, as it should be, but half of these went to models produced abroad and imported into Italy. It cannot continue like this. I said clearly.”
“If there is no reversal of trend, which reduces the delta between production and registration in Italy, from next year all the resources of the Automotive Fund will no longer go to incentivising consumption but production. Therefore to those who produce or who intend to produce more more in our country. For example a second car manufacturer”, explained Urso.
The Minister of Economy intervenes with a joke. “The status in Stellantis? I would join Ferrari”. So Giancarlo Giorgetti he joked about Stasto’s possible entry into the Franco-Italian group on the sidelines of a meeting with businesses at the Sondrio Chamber of Commerce.
Landini: ‘Premier Meloni should summon the unions and the company’
“Stellantis? We are faced with a situation that we have been denouncing for some time. The company’s production capacity in Italy is over 1.5 million cars but production is stuck at 500 thousand. The issue is open and it is necessary that it be addressed , we ask Meloni himself to take the field by calling a meeting with Stellantis and the unions at Palazzo Chigi: incentives in themselves do not solve and there is a need for a stronger logic of intervention. In France the State is present. Let’s go back to ask that the Italian state also enter. It’s nothing new. We’ve been asking for it for some time.” Thus the CGIL leader Maurizio Landini on the sidelines of a conference.
Sbarra to Stellantis: ‘Incentives are not gifts’
“We expect a serious and responsible commitment from Stellantis to invest in all Italian factories starting from Pomigliano, increasing car production in Italy, guaranteeing employment levels. At Tavares we want to remind you that the incentives are public resources and not gifts. The government guarantees a pact between institutions, businesses and unions on the relaunch of the auto sector in our country”. The CISL leader said it Luigi Sbarra today concluding the general council of the CISL of Salerno.
Sbarra, during his speech, also once again supported the need for “a new incomes policy to combat inflation which still weighs heavily on millions of workers, pensioners and families”. “We must renew all contracts, public and private – he continued – accelerate investments by strengthening the participatory governance of the Pnrr starting from the territories to gain redemption for the South, filling those employment, economic and infrastructural gaps that undermine justice and slow down development “.
The 2024 agenda for the CISL – added the trade unionist – is supported by two key principles on which to build growth and cohesion: participation, understood both as the evolution of industrial relations and as a method of social codetermination of development policies. And redistribution, which not only means equity and social justice, but also the possibility of directing resources towards growth that would otherwise be blocked in the incomes of the stronger groups”.
