Rinaldi: MPS, we must not sell off public assets

While MPS is about to close another 50 branches, leaving 843 workers at home, there is still the risk, indeed almost the certainty, that the bank will be sold off to Unicredit, disappearing definitively within the Great Systemic Bank, canceling the investments made by the state and, perhaps with further incentives charged by the state for Unicredit, a bit like what happened with Banca Intesa and the Venetian banks. To complicate everything, the by-elections to the Senate to replace Padoan, who passed to chair Unicredit, and in which the secretary of PD Letta participates.

The MEP Antonio Maria Rinaldi spoke on the subject:

“ The sale of Mps would be an unforgivable mistake. A historic institute, symbol of Siena, Tuscany and the country that has seen an improvement in the accounts after the heavy sacrifices resulting from years of disasters and bad choices made by the Pd and the left, today risks being sold off, closing its doors, with repercussions very heavy in terms of employment.

There is talk of thousands of redundancies and hundreds of branches closed: an alarming scenario, which the territory, already struggling with the difficult recovery from the pandemic crisis, cannot afford. The League will fight in Tuscany, Rome and Brussels against this operation. And we would be curious to know the opinion of the Democratic Party, which today pretends nothing has happened.

In Siena on 3 and 4 October the elections will be held: the Democratic Party is the absolute protagonist of the MPS disaster, what does candidate Enrico Letta say about it? Why is he silent? Why does it show up hiding the symbol? Why are you running away from the confrontation? ".
