(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Fim-Cisl denounced that, five months after the inauguration of the Meloni government, there has not yet been any concrete fact for the sector automotive. The union then urged the Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, to summon a comparison table to define the lines of intervention for financing the car industry. “To date, no steps have been taken to use the resources allocated to the specific automotive fund to encourage the reindustrialization and transformation of the sector – declared the national secretary Ferdinand Ulianus during the presentation in Turin of the report on production at the Italian Stellantis sites for the first quarter -. Only demand incentives are being financed, which are essential to promote the purchase of vehicles with a 50% higher cost”.
“We have reiterated several times that they must not subtract resources for the reindustrialisation, essential to avoid the negative impact of over 75,000 workers in the auto sector following the change of engines – he added -. The allocated fund was about 8 billion euros in eight years, used for just over a billion just for incentivize the purchase of cars”.
For the union it is necessary to shorten the supply chain, bringing to our country the production of all the components that will represent the car of the future: come on semiconductors, give her batteries, to the components required for the electric drive, for the autonomous driving, for the digitization and the connectivity. “The Government must be aware that without an industrial transition plan that can be activated immediately, the risk of dismissal and industrial desertification becomes a certainty”.
Uliano added that “we mustn’t waste time, the situation of critical issues and strong transformation that the automotive sector as a whole is going through and the negative repercussions weighing on related industries emerge in all their drama from the numerous crisis situations”.
