“Close collaboration with the Regions to face the pandemic” – Corriere.it

With a call to collective responsibility, each one for his part, and to collaboration between institutions, at a time of great impasse in the relationship between the government and the Regions, he takes the ground Sergio Mattarella. The head of state decided this morning to make the policy heard by calling the president and the deputy by videoconference President of the Conference of the Regions, Stefano Bonaccini and Giovanni Toti. And on Tuesday I will meet with the Presidents of the Senate and the House, Elisabetta Casellati and Roberto Fico, to foster greater collaboration between the two branches of Parliament and a dialogue between the majority and the opposition.

The moment is too serious to get lost in divisions, rebounds of responsibility, recriminations, that is why Mattarella has decided to intervene personally, in view of the imminent launch of the next Dpcm on the viral emergency, calling on the governors of Emila Romagna and Liguria to reiterate – recita official sources – the decisive role of the Regions in the treatment of the pandemic and the desire forcloser cooperation between all state institutions.

The President of the Republic obviously did not get to the bottom of the concrete measures, but he wanted to make his contribution so that what seemed like a dangerous impasse is released as soon as possible. Now more than ever we have to put aside political and geographic affiliations, Bonaccini agreed, while Toti guaranteed the broadest collaboration.

Serve, if it is true that a call to make immediate, firm and courageous decisions arrived at the premiere Giuseppe Conte during his speech in the Chamber also of leader of Pd Graziano Delrio. And it really seems like an ultimatum that comes from one of the majority parties: We need courage to say that the absolute priority is to stop the contagion, there is no other priority. So I ask President Conte to say pronounce the truth before the country, This is not the time to look at the navel and seek popularity. Citizens need clear and simple measures, that is why we ask in the resolution Almost automatic measures that take place with the increase in infections.. The government and health institutions say clear and simple words and point the way strongly.
