Concern and long faces among the workers of the Stellantis plant in Pomigliano d'Arco. The words of CEO Carlos Tavares, who indicated the Campania plant as one of the two at risk due to the government's policies on automotive incentives, shook the foundations of the city.
The uncertainty of the future weighs not only on the workers, but on the entire community of Pomigliano, where the related industries and small and medium-sized local businesses revolve around the plant's activity.
The anger of the workers is palpable. After having passed the social safety net at the beginning of the year and reached the remarkable production of 215 thousand cars in 2023, they find themselves at risk again.
The joke is that the electric Panda, the model on which the factory's future was based, will be produced outside of Italy.
The workers' concerns are shared by those in related industries, such as Tiberina in Pomigliano, which is already facing a difficult time.
The municipal administration, led by Mayor Raffaele Russo, claims the right to be present at every meeting on the future of the plant.
The situation in Pomigliano is not just a job problem, but has a significant impact on the economy and social fabric of the entire area.
The minority council also intervened on the issue, criticizing Tavares' words and urging State intervention.
The priority is to maintain employment and production levels, protecting the future of a community that has always lived off the automotive industry.
