Elly Schlein, leader of Italy's Democratic Party, visited the Stellantis plant in Pomigliano d'Arco to support 97 Transnova workers facing layoffs.

The automotive giant Stellantis decided not to renew contracts with Transnova, leading to job cuts across several Italian locations.

Schlein emphasized the need for Stellantis to renegotiate contracts and urged the government to intervene, warning of a broader industrial decline.

The layoffs have sparked emotional responses, including a heartfelt letter from a worker's child, highlighting the human impact of the crisis.

Schlein's visit underscores the political and social urgency to address the challenges facing Italy's automotive sector.
