After announcing a tough fight against the reform of the large cooperative banks promoted by the Renzi government, Assopopolari is now using the scaremongering card but it is hardly credible. The association speaks of the risk of losing 20 jobs and 80 billion euros of credit with the reform, figures that worry the trade unions which seem to align themselves with the employers in the anti-reform defense of the status quo.
With imaginative figures, Assopopolari hypothesizes that the reform causes a loss of 3 points of GDP but its arguments are not convincing and accentuate the responsibility of the association for having closed its eyes to a changing reality blocking the way for all attempts at reform of the popular ones of the last twenty years.
The Renzi government does not seem to be intimidated in the slightest and, as the economic manager of the Democratic Party Filippo Taddei hinted when speaking at an AIAF conference, it is determined to go straight and bring about another structural reform that can greatly modernize the banking system Italian by renewing its governance with the overcoming of the per capita vote in the large cooperative banks.
