“Unfortunately, the earthquake is an opportunity that presents itself …”. In blindatissimo debate behind closed doors between Matteo Renzi and the guests at the Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio, at the end of his public speech, the prime minister – he said those who were present in the room – heats up when one of the entrepreneurs actually uses that word, “opportunity”, referring to the post-disaster management. In its reply, the Prime Minister is final, despite the tough trading is likely to remain off the records . “The earthquake – explains – is definitely not an opportunity, it is a massacre, and I am convinced that you think who said it first.” efficient synthesis for many these days has evoked the earthquake as a possible short-term leverage to boost our economic recovery. The trade certainly not tender is not the only one to move a debate that until now has flowed smoothly. The theme of the earthquake splits the prime minister from the business world, with the first sponsor of its ten-year plan House Italy and the seconds hand are tired of waiting, demanding operations “here and now.” In short, enough talk and enough promises to father died.
Those who have had the opportunity to hear the private Renzi, one that responded to nearly one and a half hours of questions from the participants in one of the most anticipated debates of the Forum, tells of a premier undeterred the new numbers released this morning by ISTAT, confirming a slowdown in the growth of our economy. The repartee with entrepreneurs, bankers and managers – is explained – it is always full of reciprocal esteem messages, but red-hot just as soon as we talk about the earthquake. Two distinguished participants – says a source present at the meeting – ask the prime minister quickly, a reconstruction “it does not last 50 years, because we can not afford to serve interventions immediately.” “It must also be clear to the management team, defined before the referendum”. In short, something clear and recognizable right away, without having to wait for the biblical times of a program that should involve at least two generations. An approach quite different from that which has in mind the prime minister, who makes quite clear one point: “The results of Home Italy will be seen over the years, and will not bring electoral support,” the prime minister stressed. “I will not see any results for either the referendum or for the next election, even if I do both” mandates. “We must change our mindset all, we must think of Italy the next thirty years, we can not think only in the short term.”
Even among big smiles, the prime minister also refutes those who, on the subject of corruption, recalls how some rankings compiled by various international organizations position Italy far away from the summit. “I read a statistic that in Europe there would be 120 billion of corruption, including 60 in Italy: I do not believe these statistics,” the prime minister says candidly.
In the debate behind closed doors, however, there ‘ is only room for the controversy of earthquake and corruption. According to reports by those present, Renzi also indulges in some interesting anecdote. Gianni Riotta, journalist, moderator of the event, nags at him, remembering how one of the most common criticisms against him is to want to do everything yourself and surround yourself with too few people trusted to manage a difficult country like Italy. The prime minister is there and responds by recalling a couple of episodes from unpublished here. “When I arrived at Palazzo Chigi I had a very different idea of economic policy. I would quietly breached all European parameters. But then I had many meetings and discussions with Pier Carlo Padoan, who slowly made me change my mind, making me realize how important reputation internationally. So, do not always decide everything myself. Although I must admit that sometimes I do not condition. for example, what happened with the Jobs Act: if I had listened to the suggestions of those closest to I would have had to water down. good thing I did not seen the good results. ” Us back, Renzi, on the subject of leadership, entertaining the audience with a story. “I do not know if it really is a vice of the Florentines to decide for themselves, but there is a story about concerns Michelangelo. It is said that while he was at work on David approached him Soderini mayor telling him that his nose was too big. he did not agree, but since he had the dust with him, before his eyes pretended to fix it. In fact he left as it is. “
Finally, the hot topic of 2016 from a point economically: the banks. Managers who crave enlightenment on government policies, the prime minister responds with an exhortation that does not make you happy bank employees: cut, cut, cut. “Today there are 328mila employees in Italy, it is a disproportionate number. Such a high number of branches does not make sense in a world where the bank is on your smartphone. From here ten years, employees will be transferred to 200 thousand if not 150 thousand. Many will close locations and the very face of our cities will change. There is no alternative, this is the future and managers of our banks will have to adapt. ” Pace of bank unions, closing time to the applause of the present entrepreneurs. The clash on the earthquake seems already behind.
