Confindustria and Meloni are unloading the blame for the economic disaster onto Europe: it’s the failure of the business leaders.
In these four years, the government has done absolutely nothing to stimulate the Italian economy and society. The result is evident: we have become the worst economy in Europe, and the situation of social relations has deteriorated significantly. Poverty has increased, welfare has declined, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Wages have stagnated. During the same years, the business world, represented by Confindustria, has given a very poor impression of itself. It has shown no entrepreneurial skills, had no vision, and failed to propose development pathways. It was the obvious image of the decline of the Italian bourgeoisie. Let’s be clear: two failures.
Yesterday, the representatives of these two failures, the government and Confindustria, met at the traditional annual industrial assembly, at Eur, in the visionary cloud of Fuksas, and comforted and absolved each other. In that room, one could feel the air of the failure of Italian leadership. And we must say that neither Confindustria President Orsini nor Premier Meloni had the audacity to deny this failure. However, they sought an excuse and found it in the wrong policies decided in these years by Europe. In particular, they criticized environmental policies, aimed at saving the planet in the next thirty, or forty, or one hundred years, but which do not produce immediate benefits for businesses. Confindustria and the government are convinced that the problems of humanity, and of Italy, are not “what future” but are all concentrated in the immediate present. And therefore, they found in the alleged errors of Europe the real reason for the Italian crisis. None of them, however, asked themselves why all other European countries – all – had a growth rate higher than that of Italy, and why a country like Spain, perhaps the most similar to Italy, had a triple growth compared to ours.
Orsini, truthfully, listed some weaknesses of the system. For example, low wages. However, he also said that it is not the business world that can afford to improve wages, because this would mean reducing profits and that this is not compatible with its economic strategy. Even though the data shows that wages have fallen in these years but profits and especially dividends have increased enormously.
Then Orsini asked Giorgia Meloni to make available 20 billion, to be used in part to improve the functioning of schools and healthcare, and in part to support businesses. What is the objective? Orsini said that Italy will only take off if medium-sized industries can become large industries, and small industries can become medium industries. In what way? Orsini said that to do this, the government must invest, and above all, must implement an energy policy that leaves the market and returns entirely to state choices. In practice, Confindustria proposes that the market be reduced, remain available to capital but be eliminated at the time of decisions that can favor capital. It’s the old idea: privatize profits and nationalize losses. Meloni did not respond, she smiled, she gave Orsini reason. She did not respond, evidently, about the 20 billion that Confindustria was asking for. After all, what answer could she give? I would gladly give them to you, but I simply don’t have them.
