Local councilors Lino Luperti and Michelangelo Greco have petitioned the Puglia Region and the Italian government to designate Brindisi as a ‘Complex Industrial Crisis Area’. They argue that the territory’s industrial transformation impacts not only major plants but also a broad network of suppliers, logistics, and specialized manufacturing firms.

The proposal aims to accelerate institutional protections for workers, specifically requesting access to extraordinary redundancy funds and income support to prevent permanent job losses. Proponents suggest these measures should act as a ‘bridge toward new work’ by combining financial aid with professional training and upskilling programs tailored to new regional industrial investments.
