Magnifying glass on the corporate structure of Stellantis by the Copasir, the Parliamentary Committee for the safety of the Republic, which addressed the issue in its annual report in the chapter dedicated to the automotive sector. According to the commission, the new group born from the merger between FCA and PSA would show an imbalance in favor of France, with possible repercussions that, according to Copasir, would be “Already evident in the related sector connected with the production lines of the Italian plants”. In particular, in the shareholding of Stellantis there was an increase in the presence of the French state, “Resulting in a distribution of ownership different from that previously announced”.
The stake held by Bpifrance is 6.5%, with the bank being half controlled by Caisse des Depots et Consignations, the equivalent of our Cassa Depositi e Prestiti. Hence the invitation from Copasir ad an entry into the capital of Stellantis by Cdpa move that the committee considers fundamental to “preserve national interests in the automotive industry, the ramifications of which are extremely significant in the national economic panorama” with the possible entry of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti which “It could favor a rebalancing of weights between the French and Italian components, thus protecting technologies and employment.”
The reaction of the trade unions was immediate, with a clear position taken by Michele De PalmaFiom-Cgil national secretary and automotive manager e Simone Marinelli, national automotive coordinator for Fiom-Cgil who stressed the need for government intervention just a few days before the parliamentary debate on the auto sector, scheduled to start on Monday, begins: “In the interest of the country and the workers, it is necessary to think about a balance in the shareholding of Stellantis, which sees the presence of the State through the intervention of Cassa Depositi e Prestiti”.
