L’editoriale di Marco Travaglio: Renzi e l’articolo 18 - Servizio Pubblico - Puntata 1

September 25, 2014 - Season 4 Marco Travaglio's editorial: Renzi and Article 18. "Listen, how wonderful, how sweet they call it 'a contract with increasing protections.' The older you get, the more protections you have. But the company can fire you at any age. You work under blackmail all your life. The protections may be increasing, but they're completely invisible. So how do they grow? Like a delay condom: only it's empty, there's nothing inside to delay." Renzi and Article 18 The journalist continues his analysis: "But is it true, as Renzi says, that there are no hiring opportunities and no investments in Italy because of Article 18? So it would be better to abolish it. I want to ruin myself, so I won't answer. I'll have a very authoritative source answer. 'If companies aren't investing in Italy, it's not because of Article 18. The problem is ongoing corruption, and politicians should address that. Article 18 is an ideological totem; changing it doesn't change anything. I receive Russian, Chinese, and Korean entrepreneurs. And if I ask them to invest, they don't run away because of Article 18. They run away because of bureaucracy, taxes, and justice. Article 18 is a fetish, it's a false problem. The employment problem isn't Article 18. My program calls for first attacking the €120 billion in tax evasion.' Now is the time to reveal this genius who spoke. so good… That genius was Matteo Renzi two years ago”.
