A “very hard” negotiations between the Italian government and Brussels for the take-off of Ita, newco of Alitalia. He assured him Enrico Giovannini, Minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility, who follows the Alitalia dossier with the Ministers of the Economy Daniele Franco and economic development Giancarlo Giorgetti. So, there is none impasse and no transfer of redundant employees from the airline company to Fs.
On the future of Ita, Giovannini explained to Radio Me too, “the issue of discontinuity is real but the government is negotiating very hard because the future of a company we believe in is at stake.” With Brussels “the negotiation continues, even yesterday, still today, therefore we are not at all all‘impasse“, Giovannini assured.
“Our country needs a company that is able to stay on the market and to make successive alliances but from a position of strength, not of weakness“. At the European level,” there is strong integration between rail and air transport services. This integration is not a welfare motivation but is one of the pieces of the future of aviation, “he continued.
Therefore the hypothesis that the Government can favor the passage of employees to the State Railways to save Alitalia’s accounts “is definitely incorrect. The interpretation that the problem is simply to dispense, a term that is truly disrespectful to workers, from a company to the other, it is not correct “, he concluded.
