The ministry itself stated in a statement: "The industrial prospect identified for the Macchiareddu plant represents a concrete solution. Today we verified the solidity of the project , which allows us to look with greater confidence at safeguarding the 160 jobs, with the potential for a significant increase," declared Adolfo Urso , Minister of Enterprise and Made in Italy.
"We will continue to monitor the operation together with the Sardinia Region and the trade unions, ensuring that the process can proceed on schedule and result in an effective relaunch of the site," he added.
