"Minister Orlando is not the way to go. Saying aid to companies with wage increases is blackmail. What is the way to be on the part of a Minister of the Republic? Is this the pact you are proposing? We believe it is another way" .
This was stated, speaking at the celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Confindustria Emilia-Romagna, the president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi.
"The real cut we have to make - he added - is that of the tax wedge: this is social equity. This is the path we must pursue".
In the opinion of the number one of Confindustria "the Pact for Italy is built all together, not with blackmail. You see, dear Minister Orlando - he observed - that is not the way, we will say we will give aid to companies only if contracts increase because that is blackmail. Is this the Pact for Italy that you propose to us? We believe instead that it is another way ".
This, he argued again, "is yet another and further confirmation of that anti-industrial sentiment that still pervades a part of our country. We are in a country where skills are neglected, we are in a country where we pontificate on the company by those who have not done a day's work in the factory.
latest budget law that we are insisting on putting more money in Italians' pockets with the contribution cut of the tax wedge, to make our businesses competitive: especially today it is unthinkable with the increase in the cost of raw materials, the cost of energy, with margins that have shrunk, that we can raise wages.
We have to put the money in the pocket of the Italians by reducing taxes ".
"Blackmail? I said something very simple, I didn't understand what you want to put into this pact, if it means asking for something it is not a pact, but a pact is if everyone puts an availability. Mine did not seem like a subversive proposal. It surprises me. this reaction, because it gives me the idea of an unawareness of what can be produced in the country in the near future. We risk the social crisis and a fall in internal demand. This is what businesses should be concerned about ".
This was stated by the Minister of Labor, Andrea Orlando, speaking at the Agora, in corso al Nazareno, commenting on the title of Il Sole 24 Ore.
"I said that when there is a dramatic wage situation, the pact may be that in the face of support for companies, they undertake to renew and adjust wages, it does not seem subversive to me, but the Sole24Ore wants to skimp on salaries and not on securities ", added Orlando.
