Against the decision of the Minister of Health, a direct consequence of the opinion of Scientific technical committee and the alarm of theCollege of Health on English variant, the ministers hurl themselves Giancarlo Giorgetti e Massimo Garavaglia and all the League. With the Tourism Councilor of Lombardy region, the former skier Lara Magoni, who comes to speak of the new government in which his party sits as a “Reshuffle of the incapable”. Criticisms also come from Italy Viva that like the Carroccio asks for a “Change of pace”, by the center-right governors of Lombardy, Piedmont, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Veneto and of Valle d’Aosta as well as by the coordinator of the Tourism Commission of Conference of the Regions. While the sector operators and the Federsci they speak of “madness” and “disrespect”.
The forced way of the minister: “And there will be refreshments” – Speranza’s decision comes a few hours after reopening, with the slopes already polished, and is valid until March 5. A must for a resigning minister until Friday evening and that he signed the provision on the basis of an opinion from Scientific technical committee of February 12, the result of the report byHigher Institute of Health on the diffusion of English variant, to which the 17,8% of the total number of infections. The strain, the Iss number one had pointed out Silvio Brusaferro, is destined to become predominant within “5-6 weeks”. The CTS had given a first go-ahead, on the basis of a stringent protocol agreed with the Regions, on 3 February and then the countdown began in the mountains, interrupted a step from the end due to the alarms on the Sars-Cov mutations- 2: “The concern for the diffusion of this and other variants has led to the adoption of similar measures in France and in Germany”, underlines Speranza scientifically justifying his choice and also guaranteeing the government’s commitment to “compensate as soon as possible sector operators with adequate refreshments “.
The Lega and Italia Viva immediately against: “Change of pace” – It was not enough to avoid the swarm of controversy and protests. On the point of the refreshments, the League ministers immediately beat Giancarlo Giorgetti e Massimo Garavaglia: “The mountains deserve respect and attention”, they say. “It is not even said – they add – that i is enough 4.5 billion requested when the season was not yet compromised ”. In their opinion, it is “first of all a question of respect for a delicate system which contributes so much to the well-being of the country “. The indemnities, they conclude, “must have the absolute priority, when damage occurs, the damage must be indemnified; already immediately in the next decree “. The Northern League attack, with Matteo Salvini who had already criticized the stop hypothesis, is much more explicit in the words of the group leaders Maximilian Romeo e Riccardo Molinari: “We cannot continue with the ‘Count method’, announcement on Sunday and closing on Monday, by the Ricciardi-Arcuri-Speranza trio ”. Then the request: “We need a change of pace and respect for the mountain people and for those who work, as well as real and immediate reimbursements: beyond Speranza, just reconfirmed as minister, a change of team on a technical level “. The deputies of Italia Viva speak of a “hard blow” Mauro Del Barba e Silvia Fregolent, who say they are “certain” that the government is “pushed” by their leader Matteo Renzi “Will be able to show the change of pace compared to the past, restoring certainty to those who invest and believe in tourism and mountain sports”. While Ettore Rosato defines the decision as “a tail of the chaotic management of the previous government and that the style from tomorrow will be very different ”. Discontinuity is also asked by Come on Italy, with Anna Maria Bernini: “We asked the premier discontinuity and we expect decisions to be shared. Hope must change course ”, says the group leader in the Senate in Tonight Italy.
The Regions: “Amazement and bewilderment” – Speranza’s decision provoked an immediate reaction from the Regions as well. I criticize the governor of the Aosta Valley Erik Lavevaz (“There is no respect”), while the Piedmontese Alberto Cirio if it says “shocked” because the rules “cannot change every week”. Of “a last second decision” that gives “another very serious blow” he speaks Attilio Fontana e Stefano Bonaccini, president of Emilia-Romagna and of the Conference of Regions, it is said “Amazed” e “Bewildered” also speaking on behalf of “the other Regions”. Softer Luca Zaia: “While considering that the salute of citizens vhyenas first of all, it is undeniable that this provision in Cesarini area puts all plant engineers in crisis “. The Friulian Massimiliano Fedriga asks to “Change system” because “this is a bankruptcy result given the last minute decision “. While the coordinator of the Special Commission for Tourism and Hotel Industry of the Conference of Regions, Daniele D’Amario, councilor for tourism in the center-right junta ofAbruzzo, says: “It is one blow at the last second, because after two postponements there is another stop. The Regions in the yellow zone had organized to implement a security protocol and engage personal adequate, but a machine that was set in motion respecting the rules is lost ”.
Industry operators: “A madness, without words” – Critics also sector operators, which had already expressed strong concern for the minutes of the Scientific Committee. The Piedmontese Association of Cableway Companies speak of “madness” that “leaves you speechless” a few hours from the start of a period with “Thousands of reservations” in hotels and for skipass that would have allowed theaccess to the slopes, closed for a year now. On the same wavelength Anf, the National Association of Cable Car Operators: “After December 3rd, January 7th, January 18th and February 15th, now the extension to March 5th. By now the season is off, we feel teased in the face of everything we have spent on tomorrow’s opening, in view of which we have hired other staff – say the top management – The refreshments are immediate, otherwise the sector goes into failure. We are the most penalized sector: for 12 months without a euro of collection but with expenses e salaries to pay. There layoffs it arrived in December, we had been working since July to prepare for winter ”. THE ski instructors they say instead “Abandoned and humiliated” from a belated communication, which “has no respect for the work of so many people who in recent days have worked for a safe reopening, investing money and sacrifices”. One “Humiliating slap”, underlines the president Beppe Cuc.
