November 13, 2019 Stop the amendments to the fiscal decree requesting to reinstate the penal shield for ArcelorMittal in the implementation of the plan for the former Ilva. According to reports, the House Budget Committee declared that the amendments presented by Italia Viva and Forza Italia were inadmissible due to foreignness of the matter.

Di Maio: meaningless vote on the shield
"I don't think it will come to the vote on the penal shield for Arcelor Mittal" in Parliament. "It makes no sense to reintroduce it because we were told that there would still be 5,000 redundancies". The leader M5s Luigi Di Maio, who was interviewed at 24 am on Radio24, is convinced of this. The Foreign Minister announced: "We will challenge the withdrawal from the former Ilva presented by ArcelorMittal".

Di Maio: State interlocutor is still ArcelorMittal
"The interlocutor of the State is still Arcelor Mittal: we have signed a contract and ask to respect it. Arcelor Mittal has made the unilateral act of leaving and we cannot allow it," said Di Maio Radio24. "It is premature - he added - to talk about alternatives because if we do it we are already telling Arcelor 'do not worry because we will repair the disasters', instead the person who signed the contract must be made responsible, moral suasion and pressure must be made to do it stay here. We didn't allow Whirpool to leave, we can't give it to Mittal. " The eventual "nationalization could not see 100% of the State because in accordance with current EU standards it is not possible. However, our objective even in the jurisdictional context is to ensure that Arcelor does not go away," he concluded.
