“We have to be peacemakers,” the secretary general said. “The end of the conflict is not near, unfortunately. We cannot sit idly by, that is why we have to demonstrate in the Italian squares, to ask to stop the fire and open a peace conference”.
“We must be builders of peace”, Landini said from the stage in front of the Italian workforce, quoting the words of Pope Francis.
The onslaught of war and the consequent energy shock alarm companies and the world of work that cannot continue producing due to the high costs of energy and gas.
Today, in fact, the latest data from the study center Confindustria, the association of Italian companies, has been released, where they show that “The energy crisis paralyzes growth prospects”, where it is estimated that the GDP in 2022 it will grow 3.4% but next year, 2023, growth will be zero: “Italy falls into recession and stagnation with record inflation.”
Alarming forecasts warn that the energy costs of Italian companies will increase by 110 billion euros on average during this year 2022 compared to pre-pandemic values.
“The incidence of energy costs on the total rises from 4.6% to 9.8%, they are unsustainable levels” warn the Confindustria economists. The price of gas is slowing down its growth but if it were possible to impose a ceiling of 100 euros on the price, the GDP would gain 1.6% in the two years.
In short, the war at the gates of Europe and its consequences are increasingly alarming the business world and the world of work. Overcoming this geopolitical, economic and social crisis is the greatest challenge since the Second World War not only for a Europe strongly divided within, but also for the new ultra-right Italian government in Giorgia Meloni which will take over in the coming weeks.
