Orsini: No panic on duties, dialogue united. 'Energy is the topic of topics for companies. We need an industrial plan'

'Energy is the issue of issues for business competitiveness. And I certainly say yes to nuclear power, but it must be done immediately'. Thus the president of Confindustria, Emanuele Orsini, interviewed during the federal congress of the League. 'It takes courage and here there cannot be a political problem. It is a problem of safeguarding Italy, you cannot think that anyone is against it because today it is the only way to save Italian industry and to put the workers at the centre. Because we and the workers are the same thing and energy is the problem'.

"I link a little bit to what Minister Giorgetti said yesterday: let's not panic because from a certain point of view seeing that Wall Street in two days burns 5 trillion, Piazza Affari burns 47 billion in capitalisation, beware that we are burning capitalisation money of businesses that live off the real economy, maybe even of businesses that do not work in the United States and this scares and in any case we are burning citizens' money." For Orsini 'we need to dialogue with the United States, and we need to work and negotiate all together in Europe with the United States: using even the relationships that exist, we saw yesterday with Elon Musk, but Europe all together must negotiate. Because we export 52% of our product to Europe'.

"Those who do my job must have the ability to listen to territories, make syntheses and tell politics what the right paths are. But we cannot run after each other on budget laws. But a strategic plan that says where to focus is fundamental, it is fundamental to safeguard excellence and help those who come from mature sectors to transform themselves or go abroad,' the president of Confindustria points out again. "We need to have a strategic plan of what Italy and Europe want to do about enterprise. We need to immediately increase aid to companies'.
