Elkann’s media attacks the government, Stellantis asks for help on cars

By the end of the month, a new plan is on the way to reach the goal of one million cars produced in Italy while possible public aid is being discussed. The ad Tavares: “I am confident that together with Adolfo Urso we will create the conditions to reverse the trend of declining production volumes”

By the end of the month, the technicians of Adolfo Urso and of Carlos Tavares they will produce a plan to increase the group’s Italian car production Stellantis. The government wants to get to one million cars, as in France, even if realistically it won’t be possible in a year’s time. But the legendary figure is no longer taboo even for the Franco-Italian group which, in the press release issued at the end of the meeting between the minister of made in Italy and the head of Stellantis, provides a detailed map of what he intends to do. Tavares he declared himself “confident that together with Adolfo Urso we will create the conditions to first of all reverse the trend of declining production volumes in the two years to come and to build the road map to produce one million vehicles in Italy”. A long road considering that today we are only 473,000 a year. The minister gave the Portuguese manager a copy of the Constitution underlining articles 1 (Italy is a Republic founded on work) and 41 (“Private economic initiative is free. It cannot be carried out in contrast with social utility or in such a way as to cause damage”). Tavares reacted with souplesse: “We are totally in line with both articles,” he said. After months of jabs, verbal duels, controversies about a possible intervention by the Italian state to equalize the weight of the French one (hypothesis flatly rejected by John Elkann president and major shareholder of Stellantis) yesterday’s one looked like a new beginning.
