«If we were to entrust the government’s forecasting capacity, the situation would be tragic because, in the aftermath of the duties, melons, Urso and company assured that nothing would have happened: instead something seems to me that it is happening». He said it Andrea Orlandohead of the Democratic Party for industrial policies on the sidelines of a meeting in Lamezia Terme, with reference to the effects of the duties arranged by the American president Trump.
“And what is happening – added Orlando – is worrying those who produce because the issue of the instability of the markets, the collapse of the bags, is added to a difficulty linked to the cost of energy, in this part of the country also to a weakening of the ZES tool. All things that lead to putting a productive and industrial heritage at risk that is essential for our country. We are here in Calabria also to build a proposal that is able to face this phase so complicated, with a vision of government, with an alternative idea that we want to grow from below in comparison with the productive forces “.
For Orlando «the Meloni line is a difficult line to interpret because it does not existand not existing there is some difficulty of interpretation, in the sense that it is not a line to go to Trump with the hat in hand and ask us to lower the duties on some single product because I think it is the wrong road. Europe must respond as Europe and Italy within Europe must say what is the perspective that favors it most, especially by defending a manufacturing dimension that – noted the former minister – sees our country still as a second European power “.
