The president of Confindustria, Bonomi: “Orlando and Todde want to punish businesses”

The president of the Industrialists does not go too far and from the Rimini Meetingi attacks the government and trade unions: “Minister Orlando and Undersecretary Todde think of hitting companies with a dl on the wave of the emotionality of two or three cases that have quite another origin and on which we must intervene ». And then he explains: «This country never takes note of the reality: what held the country together during the crisis? Manufacturing firms, which held up. In the other countries, everyone would have had an eye on saying “it is my most important asset, I have to protect it”. Not here: we see that Orlando and Todde are thinking of hitting companies with a decree on the wave of the emotionality of two or three cases that have quite another origin ». In short, for Bonomi, the anti-delocalization Dl Todde-Orlando would be “punitive against the company”. “We all agree that firing with WhatsApp is bad, that’s not the method. It’s bad to fire. But in the first 6 months of the year, Tridico said, we hired 400,000 more people in Italy, while there was talk of an ‘avalanche of layoffs’ and we acquired a 4.8% growth in GDP, which will probably be higher. We are investing and I am told: Will we take this measure because there is no fairness? Well, dear state you owe me 58 billion, start giving it to me. Can you tell me about closures? Didn’t you have to close several public subsidiaries that cost Italians several billion a year? Why do not you do that? Because they are armchair factories. State, correctness for fairness you begin to be correct », Bonomi urges. What it also has for the unions: “I was struck by the possibility of sitting down at a table and giving the country a way” and not having done so, the possibility of “responding to the two great unknowns: health and reforms. We have failed and I am taking it too, but the unions have made a big mistake. We could have built what our fathers did with polio, we don’t have time to waste. ” Italy relaunches Carlo Bonomi “cannot afford that the political distinctions and the local elections in the coming weeks derail the action of the Draghi government”. “I am very worried – he insisted – that the government’s attention on reforms will be slowed down in the autumn”. “I fear the executive’s action may be stopped but we cannot afford it due to commitments made in Europe on the PNRR and because it is a historic opportunity that we cannot fail if we want to create a modern, efficient and inclusive state”.
