One week after the entry of the compulsory Green pass, the first sanctions begin to arrive, while the main Italian cities are preparing to intensify checks in view of the August 15th. The first fines arrived in Treviso and Milan, in the first case because they were found without a green certificate in a betting room and, in the second, because a customer of a gym used another person's pass. Then, even the protests do not seem to subside, with appeals against the "health dictatorship" bouncing from one social network to another. In the coming days, the people of the "no Green Pass" will return to the streets again, as will the activists of the IoApro movement, who have always been against the requirement of a certificate.
With August 15th at the gates, the Viminale's instructions are to intensify controls, albeit with discretion, entrusting the various prefectures with the task of organizing the use of the police in the area. Particular attention will obviously be paid to the main holiday resorts, especially taking into account that the discos are still closed and which consequently increases the risk of gatherings on beaches, streets or nightlife squares. The goal is to ensure compliance with anti-Covid regulations, from distancing to the obligation to wear masks indoors, up to the verification of the Green pass. And so, in Milan, a 20-year-old was fined by the police because he was using a certificate that was not his own. The boy,who now also risks being reported if the document is falsified, had been recognized by the owner of the gym who, faced with refusal to give explanations, preferred to call the agents. Also in Milan, a 68-year-old was fined and denounced for resisting a public official after refusing to show the Green pass. The man had managed to sneak into the open-air cinema 'Arena Milano Est', in the Lambrate area, despite the attempt to stop him by the space managers, who eventually alerted the police. In Treviso, five customers of a betting parlor were found without the Green pass and will now have to pay a fine ranging from 400 to 1,000 euros, as required by law. Voltage, on the other hand,in Padua where a 46-year-old Tunisian was turned away by the police after trying several times to sit in a bar despite not having the green certification. The man received a deportation order and was transferred to the repatriation center in Gradisca d'Isonzo. It is still debated, then, the obligation of the pass in the canteens.
Tomorrow, August 13, the 650 employees of Hanon Systems of Campiglione Fenile, a Turin-based company specializing in electronic components, will go on strike for two hours against the provisions that, denounce the unions, discriminate against workers on the basis of their vaccination status. A strike currently confirmed because the company goes straight despite the clarification of the Piedmont Region: in a note he explains that there is no obligation of the Green pass to access the company canteens, "without prejudice to compliance with the protocols or guidelines aimed at preventing or containing the contagion ". In the canteens of the armed forces and police forces, staff on duty do not need to have a Green pass to access it. In fact, in a series of circulars and directives, the canteen is equated with a "service activities "which cannot be precluded and, therefore, there is no obligation to pass which remains, however, for access to the services of bars and restaurants," for consumption only at the table, indoors ", and for be able to take advantage of swimming pools, gyms and team sports, always indoors, in military facilities.
No signing for now by the unions, at the moment, to the Protocol on the safety of schools in view of the start of the school year. This is what emerges at the end of the meeting held today between trade unions and the technicians of the Ministry of Education. Criticalities, according to what is learned, would have arisen in relation to the Green pass, the checks, the swabs and the distancing in the classroom. The document must be approved by August.
