Maurizio Gardini confirmed as president of Confcooperative
Maurizio Gardini was reconfirmed as president of Confcooperative for the 2024 – 2028 mandate by the Confcooperative assembly. By secret ballot, the approximately 800 delegates representing the 17,000 participating cooperatives elected Gardini, 63, president of the Conserve Italia cooperative group (Cirio, Valfrutta, Yoga and Derby).
In his report, Gardini put forward proposals to politicians to relaunch the country’s competitiveness: stop the “Lagarde tax”, the weight of the cost of money is unsustainable, in services only 1 in 2 companies manages to access credit; consolidate the cut in the tax wedge; investing in training and active policies to reduce the gaps in the “paradox” Italy where the employment boom is counterbalanced by a very high number of 12.3 million inactive people and NEETs (“neither in employment nor in education or training”) 2.1 million, in addition to the mismatch, the now structural lack of professional figures which slows down the competitiveness of businesses; fight false companies of all types of companies that exploit 2.8 million workers and regularize the public administration payment times.
Requests made in the presence of Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, president of the Episcopal Conference of Italy and addressed to the government for which the deputy prime minister Tajani and the ministers Urso, Fitto, Calderone and Locatelli intervened.
