Yesterday we showed you the video of Carlo Calendar and the appeal to Elly Schlein who, on the Stellantis case, is keeping quiet, perhaps so as not to put her relationship with the “party” newspapers in difficulty, that is There Press And Republic, which are owned by the Elkann family.
There is another film, however, which on the “Fiat” case must be seen from top to bottom. And it is the face to face between the leader of Action and the head of human resources of Stellantis, Joseph Lacks. We invite you to take a few minutes and watch it. Because some passages are really embarrassing.
One above all, when Manca proves that he doesn’t know the sales and production data inside out Maseratiinformation that Calenda himself is ultimately forced to provide live on TV. But what is most striking is the way in which Stellantis is now trying to throw all the blame for the “turning point green” on electric cars.
Let’s be clear: on this site we have been saying it for years that the EU’s move to ban internal combustion engines from 2035 was, is and will be total madness that will end up massacring (as it is doing) the European automotive sector. European politicians, especially green and progressive ones, have very serious faults. But it is not possible for companies to do the virgins: for a long time some automotive companies supported electrification, convinced that the car on tap was “the future”, without however taking into account the market and the wishes of their customers. Stellantis cannot say today that the crisis derives only from European choices and not remember that it was indeed the case Carlos Tavaresa former CEO recently liquidated with several million, to declare over and over again that there was no need to take steps backwards, that electric cars had to be supported with state subsidies and even that duties against Chinese cars had to be avoided.
Indeed, Tavares – therefore Stellantis – was in favor of maintaining the fines for companies that will not be able to reach the sales targets for electric cars next year and has always declared himself against revising the regulations for 2035. Anything goes, but take not for the pads either.
