Time.news – The pressure of Italia viva and of the center-right parties that support Mario Draghi’s government is growing in favor of an acceleration on reopening and on the stop to curfew. The issue was raised by the ministers Giancarlo Giorgetti, Mariastella Gelmini and Elena Bonetti at Palazzo Chigi during the meeting with the Prime Minister on the subject of the Sostegni bis decree.
Lega, Forza Italia, Iv and Cambiamo are pushing for the control room to meet on Friday when the new infectious data is received and, in the case of reassuring numbers, to approve the relaxation of the restrictions. “The theme of the need and urgency of openings, shared and expressed by the Lega, was raised, also in light of the constant improvement of the data in recent weeks, by Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti during the meeting that took place today at Palazzo Chigi “, confirms a note released by the Mise.
“The need for a revision of the current rules, also placed on behalf of the ministers Massimo Garavaglia and Erika Stefani, will be subject to a reassessment, based on the data during this week”. Lega, FI and Cambiamo then presented a motion to the Senator (parallel to that filed by the ‘opposition center-right’, or Brothers of Italy) in which the government undertakes to “overcome the current curfew regime, in line with what has been done by other European countries”.
A motion in Palazzo Madama was also presented by Matteo Renzi’s party which defines “the abolition of those measures which, lacking a solid scientific basis, are having the most serious impact on the well-being of citizens and on the economy can no longer be extended: among these, we can cite the curfew as emblematic examples as well as the ban on playing and sporting activities, and again the ban on celebrations “.
Now we will see if the requests of IV and the center-right parties in government will prevail over the prudence shown so far by the ministers of the Democratic Party and the Minister of Health of Liberi e equals Roberto Speranza (who seems to want to postpone the decision for at least a week) . And what Draghi will decide based on the new data.
“I am happy because finally – at least in words – everyone says they are ready to review closures, limits, prohibitions and curfews as we have been asking for some time. We await the facts”, warns the Northern League secretary Matteo Salvini. “The League’s position is to reopen with common sense, to protect the right to work during the day and in the evening”.
Forza Italia’s intolerance
Even in Forza Italia the intolerance for the uncertainty about the decisions is palpable. “Today some newspaper reports rumors according to which the government, influenced above all by the position of the Ministry of Health, would be willing to postpone to next week any possible reasoning regarding the revision of the curfew, new reopening, clear indications for sectors that do not they still have a departure date “, complains the blue group leader in the Chamber, Roberto Occhiuto.
“The political agreement reached at the time of the approval of the latest Covid decree was clear: the bill would have been subjected to a coupon in mid-month to assess – in relation to the data on infections and vaccines – possible relaxation of the restrictive measures. Therefore, the executive control room on the reopening should be called immediately, and the decisions will be taken this week, with the concrete effects of the same that would start from Monday May 17. Citizens and businesses are respecting to the letter and with great sense of responsibility the indications to contain the virus, but they would not understand incomprehensible postponements or waste of time “.
“The decision to cut the current measures to contain infections by mid-May, curfew included, is the result of a vote by Parliament”, underlines the deputy leader of the Senate, Licia Ronzulli. “The control room to review the current limitations must therefore be convened within this week and the sooner it meets, the better for the many activities that, based on the progress of the infections, would probably have already been able to return to work in total safety”.
The landings theme
While Sestino Giacomoni, a member of the presidency coordination of the blue party, also raises the theme, which has been trodden for days by Salvini, of the management of landings.
“To prevent the migrant ‘issue’ from sinking the boat of the Government of national unity, in which everyone has the duty to row in the same direction for the resolution of the health and consequently economic crisis – he warns – it would be appropriate for the president of the Council convene a majority summit and unravel this skein, finding a sharing of ideas on the guidelines of the reception policies of our country “.
