"Italian industry cannot die for parties," warned the President of the Young Entrepreneurs of Confindustria, Riccardo Di Stefano, from theannual conference in Capri warned of the 'difficult winter ahead, which, between war, the energy crisis and the cost of raw materials, could chill not only our homes, but also our path to growth and recovery'.

According to the leader of the under 40s, it will take 'a lion's courage' to overcome all the difficulties we face and for that 'new energy is needed, to ensure that this is not a time of crisis but a time of transformation'- he said. In his report, he appealed to the responsibility of all political forces and the new government, Di Stefano called for reforms: tax, competition, land registry, schools, pensions, active policies. Ed d drew attention to the need to implement the whole NRP, 'avoiding that the many emergencies constitute an alibi for not doing things'.

The first commitment of what they call 'Agenda Italy', however, concerns the energy crisis, and for this we need the next budget law, if Europe does not intervene first, to allocate 40-50 billion euro to stop prices and help businesses and families. Then cut labour costs, invest in research, development and innovation, but also in young people, training and skills. Finally according to Riccardo Di Stefano there is an absolute need to tackle the demographic issue, the population is getting older and the birth rate is falling, and to do this we need to focus on women, increasing their participation in the labour market and setting up an efficient network of services starting with kindergartens by immediately releasing the 4.7 billion in projects provided for in the NRP.
