Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Tuesday he thought the government would be
able to find in the 2025 budget some one billion euros for
Italy's struggling car sector amid slumping Stellantis sales and
fears of further job cuts.
Trade unions have said another 12,000 jobs are at risk while
Stellantis has said it needs money to be able to guarantee
Italian plants amid rumours of more offshoring of production.
Stellantis contractor Trasnova last week announced almost 100
redundancies.
"I think we will find about 1 billion to support the car
industry", said Tajani to Rai state broadcaster when interviewed
on Monday night's government summit on the budget.
"Yesterday we decided on a series of initiatives to support the
industry, both the reduction of the (business tax) IRES, we gave
a signal with the tax wedge, and we cut the web tax for small
businesses", he added.
