"I defended Renzi quite clearly simply because he is starting to do the things necessary to shorten the distance between Italy and the others and to give a sense of the future to the country": in a long interview from America to "La press” the managing director of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Fca) breaks a spear in favor of the Premier but above all invites Italy to take up the challenge of change.
"The future of Italy - he maintains - is a future to be created and those who truly love the country must commit themselves to accepting the new and accepting the challenges even with the unknown factor of experiments that are not totally clear in terms of success . One has to gamble, one has to take one's risks. We have to try to do things differently. The bullshit of the past is now dead”.
"A fundamental thing in American culture is to believe in the future, in a future different from the past, and to see everything as feasible" says Marchionne who then specifies: "Nobody is saying that Italians must embrace American culture, but the challenge is no different and what is absolutely certain is that the system of the past no longer holds up”.
