November 07 2019No hypothesis is excluded to solve the increasingly intricate knot of the former Ilva of Taranto

"We are already evaluating all the possible alternatives but now it makes no sense to talk about them. I am waiting for a proposal from Mr. Mittal and I would like to meet him in the next few hours," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told Porta a porta airing tonight, answering a question about possibility of a renationalisation of the ex-Ilva, should ArcelorMittal withdraw.

The goal is that Ilva goes ahead, "we will see with what tools". "If ever this negotiating table with Mittal does not open up or should not be profitable", the criteria that the government will consider will be "safeguarding productive investment, safeguarding the environmental plan and employment levels", says Conte in the living room by Bruno Vespa.

The fibrillations of the majority for the penal shield to Arcelor Mittal "do not bother me at all. I also invoke cohesion by addressing the minority forces", so "I have no doubt that even the majority forces will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal" , says the premier.



Count from Mattarella
Conte reported to the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, the evolution of the situation concerning the former Ilva, after yesterday's summit at Palazzo Chigi. The details of the interview are not known, but the concern of the Head of State is known both for the situation of the steel company, and in general for all the corporate crises that are recorded in the country. Mattarella then asked the government to work to find quick solutions, given that, as has been pointed out on several occasions, employment is one of the most important problems for the country. The Head of State obviously does not enter into the merits of the solutions needed to overcome corporate crises.
