(ANSA) – TRIESTE, MARCH 15 – “War is more of an accelerator than a slow motion, we will be strengthened because we have to reorganize ourselves, since globalization as we have known it in the last thirty years will probably no longer exist. a much vaster geopolitical chessboard than one can guess “. Andrea Illy, illycaffé president, told ANSA in response to a question about the consequences of the war.
“The war has a negative impact because it slows down the ecological transition: coal plants are now needed, farmland must be put back to work, a thousand compromises will have to be made for energy and food self-sufficiency.
On the other hand, however, there is an acceleration, because in the face of this emergency, the European Union has joined forces and intends to do everything necessary to protect sovereignty. This is positive, as are the green deal and the PNRR. Another positive element is that companies facing this issue are moving towards technologies that are renewable, because they are now less expensive. Regardless of how the Ukrainian question ends from a tactical point of view – continues Illy – we are dealing with a scenario that involves irreversible changes for the next decades. Models such as energy dependence on foreign countries are no longer viable, energy and food sovereignty will be pursued by a large continental bloc like the EU “. And on the possibility of a widening of the conflict,” I am unable to estimate, it can happen of everything. In any case, what is happening is bad enough “. (ANSA).
