The administration of the former Ilva is no longer just a hypothesis. From what we learn, during the meeting at Palazzo Chigi with the unions, the government would have confirmed to the social partners the start of the procedure for placing Acciaierie d’Italia under extraordinary administrationwith the appointment of a commissioner.
The decree approved on Tuesday in the Council of Ministers – the executive would have explained – in article 1 provides that the public minority shareholder can activate the procedure. The text should now be stamped by the State Accounting Office for sending to the Quirinale for signature and subsequent publication in the Official Journal.
We also learn that Invitalia has already sent the letter activating the procedure, which will be operational within 15 days.

The use of extraordinary administration alarms related companies, who fear not seeing the millionaire credits claimed from Acciaierie d’Italia satisfied. It remains to be understood how and with what tools the government has guaranteed that workers and workers will be safeguarded creditors, will try to prevent the arrival of the commissioner from leading to a substantial paralysis of the systems.
Not to mention that, at this point, a legal war with ArcelorMittal, which has always been against extraordinary administration and any hypothesis of recapitalization of the company, cannot be ruled out.

The unions reiterated to the government that they had not changed their minds. “There is an ongoing negotiation for the separation between the private partner, ArcelorMittal, which holds 62 percent of the shares, and the public partner Invitalia – he said Michele De Palma, general secretary of Fiom CGIL, crossing the threshold of Palazzo Chigi -. The return of society under public control remains our demand. The safety of the plants, workers and production are essential.”
