Stellantis, Landini's position
The Stellantis case continues to take center stage. After the distant clash between the business minister Adolfo Urso and the CEO Tavares today is the leader of the CGIL has called for government intervention in the dossier. “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”, said the secretary of the CGIL Maurizio Landini on the sidelines of a conference. “The topic is open and it is necessary that it be taken up, 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 logic of stronger intervention. The State is present in France. We are once again asking that the Italian State also enter. This is nothing new. We have been asking for it for some time”, he added. Fiom leader Michele de Palma is also on the same wavelength: “Premier Meloni should summon Tavares and the trade unions to reach an agreement to protect production and employment in Italy”, he said.
Stellantis, Schlein's attack
Democratic Party secretary Elly Schlein attacks both the government and Tavares “The government cannot remain silent in the face of threats from the CEO of Stellantis on the future of Mirafiori and Pomigliano, call Tavares to Italy immediately to take on clear responsibilities and commitments. The incentives are conditional in a binding way on the protection of jobs and the reduction of emissions. The path of public participation should be concretely studied to influence company strategy. the government is committed to bringing other producers to Italy.” The League is on the same wavelength: “Companies that have grossed billions for years do not allow themselves to be threatened or blackmailed” reads an official note.
Urso, if Stellantis sells less in Italy it's your problem
“We must understand each other: if in December Volkswagen surpassed Stellantis in sales in Italy, if 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 of the company which evidently needs to review its policies. They should do so”, he added.
Pomigliano administration, Stellantis 'worries about the future'
“Deep concern” about the future of the Stellantis plant in Pomigliano d'Arco (Naples) was expressed today by the local municipal administration led by mayor Raffaele Russo following what was stated yesterday by the company's CEO, Carlos Tavares, who indicated the Giambattista Vico is among the factories whose jobs would be most at risk as a result of the Government's policies regarding incentives for the automotive sector. The municipal administration, in claiming “the right to be present in every institutional meeting where the prospects of the Stellantis plant in Pomigliano will be discussed” and the automotive industry in the area, he also underlined that the situation “does not only impact the workers directly involved, but has a dominant effect on the ecosystem of local small and medium-sized businesses”.
“We are faced with a potential future reality that presents complex challenges – they concluded – affecting the economic, social and environmental dimensions vital to our community fabric. It is essential that future decisions reflect the needs of all stakeholders involved, from the work to companies, passing through the local community to the surrounding environment. We declare ourselves ready to cooperate with the metalworkers' unions – they concluded from the Municipality – actively contribute and do everything in our power to ensure that the decisions taken are sustainable, balanced and protect employment and economic prosperity of our city”.
