All-out discussion on the closure of the Marelli plant in Crevalcore: Marchionne's reassurances, John Elkann's "lies" and Landini's interested silences

Everyone knows the social chatter of the secretary of Action, Carlo Calenda . It is unlikely that any event escapes his comment. However, on the closure of the Marelli plant in Crevalcore, his video intervention is attentive and timely, not only because it breaks the wall of silence and indifference raised around the matter by politicians and first-rate trade unionists, but also because, as former Minister of Economic Development, he knows that dossier well.

WHAT CALENDA SAYS ABOUT MARELLI IN CREVALCORE

“The Marelli and Crevalcore affair – writes the Action leader on his social networks – hides a gigantic bubble made up of the lies of John Elkann , weakness of politics, Landini's fear of going against the editors of Repubblica, silence of politics for the same reason. A story that needs to be told.”

MARCHIONNE'S REASSURANCES

“As a minister I met Sergio Marchionne about the future of Marelli – explains Calenda – I proposed to him to sell it at most to an Italian consortium because there are patents in there as well as many people but he reassured me that he would distribute it among the shareholders”.

THE SALE OF ELKANN AND THE DISINTEREST OF COUNT I

“In July 2018 Marchionne died – continues the secretary of Action – and John Elkann immediately sold Marelli to a Japanese company owned by a fund. No contractual constraints are placed that could have arisen from the golden power: no one does anything to safeguard the future of Marelli", says Calenda, attacking "the people's lawyer", or the Prime Minister of the time, Giuseppe Conte .

ON LANDINI'S SILENCE

But Conte and Elkann are not the only targets of Calenda, who accuses the CGIL and its leader Maurizio Landini of a noisy silence on the closure of Crevalcore: "Have you seen a Landini battle on this?" asks the number 1 of Action rhetorically .

"I do not. Do you know why Landini didn't wage a battle neither on the decrease in Fiat production nor on the moving of the decision-making centers to France, nor on Marelli? Because John Elkann made a brilliant move: he bought Repubblica , that is, the main newspaper of the left".

Then the thrust: "From that moment – since the union in Italy is involved in politics – it was more important for the union to get along with the shareholder of Repubblica than to fight against the deindustrialization of the automotive sector."
