More protests from the production categories for reopening.
For now, some hundreds of traders are participating
in the sit in at the Circus Maximus "Once, for all"
organized by the associations: Roma più bella, Ihn (Italian hospitality network), Tni Italia (National protection of companies) and Lupe Roma.
The first to arrive were the Maremma restaurateurs who hung broken, orange and yellow underpants by a thread with the inscription: "Italy in color has left us in our underwear but that's enough".
Participants are waiting for the many buses provided by many Italian regions.
For now they have come from Sicily, from Enna, Piombino and Crema.
There are representatives of industrial laundries, of chefs and cooks wearing the traditional kitchen hat.
There is also the Italian artists movement from Tuscany.
Their slogans, repeated rhythmically, are "Work, work" and "Reopening, reopening".
"We want to reopen in safety, because the response to the emergency only with 'more closures' is now an unsustainable choice from an economic and social point of view".
Thus the president of Confcommercio, Carlo Sangalli,
speaking at the assembly of the FIPE (Italian Federation of public businesses) organized in Piazza San Silvestro in Rome
.
"We have invested in sanitation - said Sangalli -, we have accepted the rules of distancing, we have strengthened the alliance with consumers, we have defended our collaborators. And everything to be able to work safely".
"We are committed to non-repayable indemnities - he underlined -, which are not sufficient and which must be strengthened for dignity and justice".
"We are committed to shifting in the long term all those costs, currently unsustainable, that weigh on businesses. I am thinking of taxes and local taxes. I am thinking of financing. I am thinking of rents. I am thinking of bills," Sangalli explained.
