The alarm appeared yesterday on the American embassy website and created concern among political forces. “Do not travel to Italy due to” the spread of Covid-19, it reads, “the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have issued a level 4 travel health warning for Italy due to Covid -19, which indicates a very high level of Covid-19 in the country. But there is another fact that has raised the level of guard for example in the Brothers of Italy who presented a parliamentary question. It is necessary – reads the site – “A caution because of terrorism.”
Then the explanation: “Italy has a long-standing risk represented by terrorist groups, which continue to plot possible attacks in Italy. Terrorists can attack with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transport hubs, markets, shopping malls, local government structures, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, parks, major sporting and cultural events, educational institutions, airports and other public areas ”.
“On the official website of the American Embassy in Italy, travel to Italy due to Covid-19 is not recommended, but above all, and in decidedly disturbing terms, it is advisable to ‘exercise greater caution because of terrorism'”, reads inparliamentary question presented by Fdi.
“If on the one hand the stigma of covid -19 and terrorism is capable of further compromising the Italian tourist season, on the other hand the reporting of the insurgent terrorist risk opens a chilling gash in public security; the propagation of probable terrorist attacks against Italy occurs, above all, at the moment of the Copasir paralysis ”, underlines the Fdi exponent.
Delmastro then asks “whether the Prime Minister and the competent ministers have, on the risk of attacks in Italy, received reports from our secret services; whether the Prime Minister and the competent ministers believe that the alarm of the American Embassy is well founded or not and for what reasons and what they intend to do to face any risk; if the Prime Minister and the competent ministers, in the case that they do not consider the alarm founded, intend to intervene immediately for protect the Italian image as a safe country; whether Copasir is fully operational to verify the validity of the alarms launched by the American embassy in Italy and to independently verify, under parliamentary control and under indications of hearings, the validity of any risks of terrorist attacks in Italy “.
