On the matter Stellantistoday the Sole24Ore he did his utmost in what he had already done yesterday Corriere della Serathat is, to say that in the last three years the company has made 11.7 billion euros in profits while losing 2.24 million cars sold in a comparable period of time. Very good. But the bottom line is: knock knock, where the hell were you until today? I’m talking about both the Corsera than the industrialists’ newspaper. Where were you when we pointed out that the former Fiat was dismantling everything? Where was Landini? Where were the unions? Where was Confindustria?
It’s too easy to rage today against manager Carlos Tavares, who – as he has already said – has a lot of guilt. The point is that managers are chosen and paid by a Board of Directors, which supports him in his choices. Stellantis did not fire workers yesterday. He didn’t just close the factories now. He hasn’t relocated recently. These are all operations carried out over the last three years and not only because of Tavares. Who has bet everything on electric, while his predecessor Sergio Marchionne warned about the hoax of plug-in cars. But he didn’t do it all alone.
Also because they are their own the Courier, Republic And Il Sole 24 Ore the first to have said that the revolution green and the decarbonisation we should have done it at all costs. They are the ones who underestimated the effect that these ideological choices would have produced on the related industries, which are almost entirely oriented towards the components of internal combustion engines.
I am impressed by how the newspapers are furious with the manager who is professionally dead, in this case Tavares, whereas when he was super cool at the helm of the company no one touched him. They found the scapegoat, as if Tavares had been parachuted from the moon into the Exor galaxy. But really? But really? Why didn’t you make all these criticisms when he was still a powerful man?
