The control room at Palazzo Chigi on the new measures relating to the Green Pass is underway.
At the meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Mario Draghi, there are the heads of the majority delegation: Stefano Patuanelli, Dario Franceschini (who takes the place of Andrea Orlando engaged in other institutional initiatives) Maria Stella Gelmini, Roberto Speranza, Massimo Garavaglia (who takes the place of Giancarlo Giorgetti involved in the G20 in Trieste), Elena Bonetti.
In the afternoon the Council of Ministers is then scheduled to approve the new decree: a scheme - that of the cabin and then of the CDM - that the Prime Minister Mario Draghi has followed since the reopening of April 26 and in which it will still be up to him to make the synthesis between the different positions within the executive.
On the requirement of the pass for trains, ships and airplanes, for example, the date of entry into force is still dancing: the most probable is the 30th of August, even if in the government there are on the one hand those who insist on having it already from the end week of 21-22 August - so that the returns of Italians from holidays can be 'covered' at least in the last two weeks of August - and on the other hand the League asking to postpone it to October. League that continues to obstruct the pass, as evidenced by the 900 amendments to the July decree, including one calling for its abolition. Not only. Tourism Minister Massimo Garavaglia indicated "five points, like the fingers of a hand" to save the summer: self-certification for customers of bars and restaurants instead of checks by managers - which,in fact, it would make the measure useless - via the green pass for minors, festivals, outdoor fairs and for internal hotel services, no certificates for transport. Requests that, most likely, will remain a dead letter. As for the compulsory certificate for school workers, the positions still remain distant even in this case even if there should be no setbacks and therefore it will be introduced.the positions still remain distant even in this case even if there should be no steps backwards and therefore it will be introduced.the positions still remain distant even in this case even if there should be no steps backwards and therefore it will be introduced.
Draghi would be in favor and both Speranza and the Democratic Party and Forza Italia want it. "Enough Dad, in September we must all be back in attendance" is the line. Among other things, the government is convinced that 90% of the audience will be immunized by the resumption of lessons, over 1.4 million professors and non-teaching staff. However, it is possible that on this front one of the League's requests can be accepted, namely the extension of tampons at controlled prices or even free for the school world, as has been established for young people aged 12 to 18, which they will pay for a test between 5 and 10 euros. The real numbers will still be known on August 20: Figliuolo wrote a new letter to the Regions asking for "univocal data on the real progress of the vaccination campaign"in the school given that so far numbers have arrived that show "variations" both in the audiences and in the percentages. The Regions will therefore have to provide the photograph of only the staff in service, divided by role and type of school (public or private, equal or not) and above all indicate the data of those who have been vaccinated but have not been registered as belonging to the category . The whole issue of work will remain out of the decree. In the next few hours Speranza and the Minister of Labor Andrea Orlando will meet the trade unions to talk about safety protocols in the workplace. With the League that also in this case makes a wall, both on the obligation of vaccination and on the extension of the green pass to those activities in which it is mandatory for customers. We must evaluate "with reasoning "says the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti, because it would impact on some fundamental rights.
