Confindustria vote for Renzi: “Recession if he won the No” – Il Giornale

the Yes to the constitutional referendum is required, on pain of recession. Confindustria terraced heavy artillery – their studies center – in support of the Prime Minister Renzi and his project of constitutional reform. If prevail NO, is the message, the Italian economy will suffer.

Confindustria, about ten days ago, it was officially deployed for the Yes to the October referendum. The General Council had indeed unanimously shared the position of President Vincenzo Boccia. Yesterday has taken a further step forward. “If Italy says no to the constitutional reform, the recovery is at risk,” he warned economists of the Avenue of Astronomy Study Centre. According to the CSC, in fact, than forecast if the No prevailed we would have the country in recession since 2017, with a fall over three years of a 4% of GDP and a decline of about 17% of the investments. It is not over: it would record a loss of 600 thousand jobs and an increase of 430 thousand poor.

Confindustria will defend the approval of the referendum because “shares themes and content”, reiterated Boccia stressing that “reform is a matter of governability and stability.” Sure, June 23 entrepreneurs gathered in the General Council had admitted that the reform was “definitely improved”, but they had already explained to consider it “indispensable precondition for achieving the economic reforms needed to boost growth.” A sort of subliminal message to Renzi himself to invite him to respect the commitments made with the business world. To these observations yesterday was added the specter of recession.

The political reactions, from right to left, has guided condemns dell’anatema Confindustria. “Unacceptable terrorism on behalf thirds of the Research Center. Shame! “Tweeted Renato Brunetta, leader of Forza Italy in the House. Then in a longer note he explained that what Confindustria research department but is not “top ministry official.” Matteo Salvini, Northern League leader spoke of “an exchange of favors clear” between Renzi and entrepreneurs government. “If he wins the No, more ozone hole, more traffic accidents, more infant mortality,” he annotated Quagliariello (Idea) invoking more seriously. “While supporting his dogged campaign in favor of the Yes to Confindustria referendum, and its study center, come to expect in case of victory of no the ten plagues of Egypt or most, there are only grasshoppers”, he commented ironically League and vice chairman of the Senate Roberto Calderoli.

“the straight leg intervention of Confindustria, whose studies center prophesies the economic apocalypse if the Renzi reform will be defeated in the referendum, is an operation brazen pure media terrorism, “said Loredana De Petris, President of the Co-ed in the Senate. “This vulgar attempt to scare the voters to force them to approve a bad constitutional reform – he explained – only reveals what the powers that support the Renzi government are now terrified of the outcome of the referendum.” The view was echoed by the leader of the deputies of the Left Italian Arturo Scotto: “Our business class instead of thinking about what will be the outcome of the referendum works and charges down Italy.”
