A glimmer can be seen in the ArcelorMittal government negotiations. Ilva one step away from the abyss begins to glimpse a faint light of hope. The stakes placed on the negotiating table are immovable: up to the 5 thousand structural redundancies declared by ArcelorMittal and compliance with the commitments on an industrial and environmental level, with a push on the transition for decarbonisation.

At the fixed limits, the proposed counterpart focuses on three possible concessions: involving public companies, the restoration of legal immunity and the revision of the rent. Tomorrow the meeting between the government and Lakshmi and Aditya Mittal.

The President of the Council Giuseppe Conte he commented on the meeting: "I will bring to Mr. Mitrai the determination of a Prime Minister who represents a G7 country, where the rules are respected and where you cannot sit, sign a contract after a public tender procedure and after a few months start the divestment activity to go away. I hope that he can understand and take a very different attitude from that of the previous meeting".

One of the main issues to be resolved is the issue of the withdrawal of the 5mila redundancy declaration unit e Patuanelli in this regard he says: "if the Mittals want to return to the table they must take the first step". An agreement could be reached to halve the redundancies to be covered by the redundancy fund to 2200. The government, in this regard, writes Il Sole 24Ore, insists above all that the number includes almost 1400 workers who are already on layoffs. Another solution could always be with recourse to layoffs, to transfer such personnel to the Ilva part in extraordinary administration to perform reclamation activities and other services.

In fact, one would be thinking of setting up an extraordinary fund to support employment, intended precisely for the requalification of workers in extraordinary administration (currently already 1.700). Beyond the good intentions, even the road to interest some state subsidiaries, however, is an obstacle course: any attempt should be measured by the fact that these are listed companies with core business not really relevant to that of the former Ilva. The proposals will be discussed at the Council of Ministers this evening, scheduled for 1900.
