From Venice Sergio Marchionne urges politics to act with more determination. “We live in a state of incredible confusion. The European crisis affects everyday life, let's hope that there will be interest from politicians in doing something” said the manager as he opened the work of the Italy-USA council, a closed-door workshop which will deal with the euro crisis, market regulation finances, American and French elections, the future of manufacturing in the United States and Europe.
It is Marchionne himself who then announces that Prime Minister Mario Monti will not be present at the gala dinner scheduled for the evening as scheduled and will speak via videoconference. “Monti is the closest person – Marchionne said – he knows what's happening here but also in Europe. He carries on the discussion with his German colleagues and with the beloved Chancellor ”.
