Italy tempted by the French green pass.
After Macron - who announced the obligation of the green certificate to access restaurants and transport, cashing in a million bookings on vaccines in a few hours -
the pressing by some Regions, categories and political forces starts
. Many in these hours are following up on the opinion of the Commissioner for the Emergency, Francesco Figliuolo, for whom the green pass system could give a boost to the undecided of the vaccine, even if the alternative of the buffer should still be provided to respect the constitutional balances. Close to this line are several parliamentarians of the Democratic Party and some governors, while the leader of the opposition, Giorgia Meloni, speaks of "unconstitutional madness" and a "chilling idea". It is the same position as Salvini, who comments: "let's not joke". The categories are also divided: Fipe-Confcommercio fears heavy penalties for restaurateurs but for Federalberghi it would be a "sacrosanct" measure.
The arguments are intertwined with an overall assessment that the Government will make on other measures that are expiring, such as the state of emergency which would end at the end of July but could be extended. Despite the debate and various hypotheses, no decisions are expected in the next few hours, but evaluations will be made every day - a meeting with the CTS cannot be excluded in the next few hours - and it is difficult for a decision to be taken before the next monitoring on Friday. , in the light of data on vaccines and infections. Which could hold surprises. "Already in 4 or 5 days, if we observe peaks in the cities where there have been risky behaviors, we will see if with the celebrations for the victory at the Europeans we have risked too much", explains Sergio Abrignani, member of the CTS,while in Sardinia the Delta variant marks a worrying spread especially among young people.
"The parameters for the Regions must change.
But if they do not change, one way to avoid closures - in the face of the risk of an increase in the infection rate - could be the green pass. I would change the parameters by giving greater weight to hospitalization and vaccinations
", Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri said in the evening at the presentation in Rome of the book" We put our face "by Giovanni Lamberti.
On the issue of the pass there are certainly a series of issues to be solved, such as that of constitutionality, in fact, in addition to the privacy problems that would arise and which should then be examined by the Guarantor.
Among the first to be in favor of these last hypotheses are the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, and the councilor for Health of Lazio, Antonio D'Amato, for whom "it would be useful for the government to decide how it should be used. the green certificate, possibly with complete vaccination, before adopting restrictive measures ": both ask for an inversion of the parameters, making hospital RT weigh to the detriment of incidence, given the drop in pressure on health facilities. The president of Campania, Vincenzo De Luca, on the other hand, specifies: "We did the green pass four months ago. We issue our vaccination card after the second dose". The Lombard governor, Attilio Fontana, is more lukewarm, convinced that this type of measure "in addition to not being possible in Italy for privacy, in Lombardy it is not necessary ". The positions are different even among parliamentarians. If some members of the Democratic Party ask to" extend the green pass to all places of sociality ", for M5s deputies in the Social Affairs Commission, the hypothesis is "premature and raises questions for those who have to resort to a tampon". The leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, on the other hand, says "for the obligation to vaccinate health and school personnel".premature and raises questions for those who must forcibly resort to swabs ". The leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, on the other hand, says" for the obligation to vaccinate health and school personnel ".premature and raises questions for those who must forcibly resort to swabs ". The leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, on the other hand, says" for the obligation to vaccinate health and school personnel ".
