Orsini: 'Let Europe be Europe, we need to get out of the Stability Pact'

'At this historic moment we need Europe to do Europe'. This was said by the president of Confindustria Emanuele Orsini, speaking during the programme 'Cinque minuti' on Rai Uno.

Orsini is more direct: 'We need to go beyond the Stability Pact, we cannot think of continuing with state aid as Europe is thinking. We need to make new debt, public debt, so that businesses and families are helped at such a difficult time with the high energy prices and the Gulf conflict'.

'Germany,' Orsini continued, 'a fortnight ago launched a measure of 26 billion for energy, we cannot afford it, there cannot be A and B category states. Europe, and I am a convinced pro-European, must do its job and must also help those states that have not done their homework in the past'.

'I believe that on some of the country's fundamental topics, I'm thinking of energy, it is necessary to think about new technologies, such as nuclear, but also to identify suitable areas for wind and photovoltaics. We need a pact of responsibility from all political parties'.

Today, having a stable government, he added, 'is crucial, especially at this time. There is a year and a half left' to the end of the legislature, and 'many things can be done, we have another budget law. The House plan will also be fundamental', at this time it is necessary to attract 'young people from abroad, there will be a shortage of five million workers in 2050'.
