09 November 2019 "ArcelorMittal told us that he fired 5000 employees even with the criminal shield. So this theme is a mass distractor - said the Foreign Minister and political leader of the M5s, Luigi Di Maio, at the Gr1 -. Now he does not exist that a company that fails to reckon the bills pay the bills, which it has signed, to the State. If you pay them and must respect the agreements. "

The leaders of ArcelorMittal "sit down at the table with Italy and withdraw that blackmail. We must work to keep them in Italy", added Di Maio, on the GR1 regarding the story of the former Ilva.

According to Confindustria president Vincenzo Boccia, commenting on Luigi Di Maio's latest statements on Acelor Mittal, "the criminal shield will also be a pretext. The problem is that it is an alibi. The criminal shield has led to what we are experiencing. Politics is solution, not looking for blame. Here we have a question that needs to be addressed with great seriousness and common sense. " "We hope that in the coming days common sense will prevail on both sides," Boccia added.

"If we pretend that despite the economic crises, companies must maintain employment levels, then finance unemployment and not keep businesses, we make a huge mistake," Boccia told the annual small industry forum, speaking about the 5,000 redundancies requested by Arcelor Mittal for stay in Ilva.

"If there is an economic crisis linked to steel, it is useless to pretend that it is not there. We need to understand how to manage this phase by allowing us to 'build', as happens in all companies in the world," said Boccia. "There are tools such as layoffs and others, which are activated in negative economic moments of business, it is necessary to face the problem with seriousness and common sense. The point is to create development in that territory, to build other job opportunities, but not substitutes, "If the Ilva withdraws due to the international situation, each company must have a short-term flexibility," said Boccia.
