Luigi Di Maio, the former bi-minister of the recently evaporated Lega-run tandem, knew from the beginning of the negotiations with the Whirlpool the dramatic fate of Naples factory. In other words, she had kept silent about everything precisely to those employees of the Whirlpool factory who had enthusiastically welcomed her with flags of the Casaleggio movement under the motto of "Luigi you are one of us". And that they had voted for him en masse. Precisely.
In reality, the Chinese, with Midea at the forefront, are there waiting for the best moment for them and the worst for Whirlpool EMEA, to repeat the offer to acquire the European assets of the big American. And just yesterday evening we received the news confidentially from sources in the Chinese group's European headquarters, which mixes everything up, reinforcing the rumors about Midea-Whirlpool negotiations.
Indeed, it does not come by chance from Whirlpool the new general manager of Midea Italia, Alberto Di Luzio, formerly Indesit, then merged into Whirlpool with the acquisition of the Merloni company and became Sales Director Combined Freestanding of Whirlpool Italy. But the fact that Di Luzio is called by Midea to replace him is sensational who was in this officeDaniele Marangoni. Urgently called.
