Tension rises on the regulation of the relaunch decree which excludes some 'red areas' from funds in favor of the areas affected by the covid emergency. The governor of Veneto Zaia announces appeal: "This decree will be thrown in the trash and must be rewritten". The governor of Campania De Luca in turn criticizes the decision "to exclude the former red areas (Vallo di Diano, Ariano Irpino area) from the Fund dedicated to the areas affected by the Covid emergency" and asks for a correction to the government. Foreign Minister Di Maio also intervenes on the issue, asking for a change to the decree during the conversion in Parliament to "extend the funds to all the municipalities that became a red zone during this pandemic".
Veneto will appeal against the rules contained in the Relaunch Decree concerning the funds for the "red areas", from which the areas of the region have been excluded. This was announced by President Luca Zaia, according to which "this decree will be thrown in the trash and must be rewritten, because in my opinion it is absolutely embarrassing".
"We have already commissioned Professor Bertolissi today," Zaia told reporters. In the first draft of the Dl Raise, Zaia summarized, "there was a forgetfulness of the Venetian red areas, after which the decree is stamped and becomes law. Then in an irrational way, and expert jurists say they have never seen a thing of the generally, with a press release 'errata corrige' a new text is put in the Gazzetta, and we have disappeared ". Zaia then specified that "we do not only have Vo ', we have Treviso, Venice and Padua. Those are the famous three red areas established on March 8, which arrive in line at the 10 Municipalities of the Lodigiano area, in the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo, Lodi and Piacenza. After 24 hours from that March 8, Italy becomes all red zone, but no one has revoked ours, which go hand in hand with the Lombard ones. The Decree says that it must have been a red zone for at least 30 days; red areas were lifted on April 13. By magic - he concluded - the areas of Veneto disappeared and those of Emilia Romagna and Lombardy remained. This decree will be thrown in the bin and will have to be rewritten, because in my opinion - it has concluded - it is absolutely embarrassing for us to see what is happening. "
"As MP Generoso Maraia rightly pointed out, I think it is right to intervene during the conversion into parliament of the relaunch dl to correct the rule on funds for municipalities affected by Covid - said Minister Luigi Di Maio -. Instead of limiting it to the municipalities of 5 provinces must extend the funds to all municipalities that became red areas during this pandemic. "
"In Parliament, the rule that allocates 200 million to the" Red Zone "Municipalities, must be increased and extended to all the realities that have become so in recent months. It is objective that these Municipalities, regardless of their geographical location, have been more penalized. confident that the entire constitutional span will support this change, "said Deputy Minister of Economy and Finance, Laura Castelli.
