For a political leader like Giuseppe Conte who, when he was prime minister, introduced two controversial reforms such as the Super bonus and the Basic income It is not easy to seduce entrepreneurs. And in fact on Sunday the distrust of the audience Ambrosetti Forum in Cernobbio towards the remote intervention of the head of the Five Stars movement it was tangible. Things went much better for the other two politicians who directly presented themselves at Villa d'Este as the secretary of the Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, and the Action leaded, Carlo Calenda.
But what is it about Conte that the entrepreneurs and financiers present at the Ambrosetti Forum don't like? First of all, his line, to say the least, ambiguous and in some respects pro-Putin onUkraine to which the Five Star leader would like to prevent the use of long-range weapons in Russian territory to counter Moscow's missile and drone offensive that is destroying Kiev and Ukraine. Then there is the economic policy imagined by Conte with an extension of parental leave, the No to nuclear power and the relaunch of the extra-profit tax. "If the Government listened to Conte - is the confession of an entrepreneur present in Cernobbio collected by "la Repubblica" - Italy would magically find itself with a public deficit higher than 10% of GDP”. In short, if you meet Conte, you avoid him. That's why he doesn't go to Cernobbio and prefers to speak remotely at the Ambrosetti Forum,
