AGI – “Autonomy means responsible self-government. That is, taking responsibility, for better or for worse.” This is stated in an interview with La Repubblica Arno Kompatscher, president of the province of Bolzano, who informed the provincial councilors that from midnight on Wednesday, November 4, until the 22nd, South Tyrol returns to the confinement.

“I do not remember a crisis like this, in seven years of the presidency of the South Tyrol board,” says Kompatscher, noting that the “Rt index is clearly and constantly above 1.50” and that the risk threshold rated as “stop” a few days have passed. Therefore, he argues, if “in spring we assume the responsibility of opening” and “we claim our right to an autonomous election, well: we must claim it even when it hurts. And the time has come to do so” because “health is at the limit. There are no staff, like everywhere. “

The ruthless number of infections, 437 yesterday, and the risk of the health system plummeting, left no choice for President Kompatscher, who in a second interview with Corriere della Sera underlines: “We knew about this second wave, but also The experts did not expect an entity and an acceleration of this type. The data we have makes these measures necessary. We have three weeks to be successful, otherwise the situation will be dramatic. “

And he explains that “the curfew will begin at 8 in the afternoon and will last until 5 in the morning. Bars, restaurants, patisseries and ice cream parlors will be closed. Food and other basic needs are open from Monday to Saturday. Pharmacies and parapharmacies are open Holidays. Schools, which will reopen on Monday 9, will continue with face-to-face teaching, with the exception of secondary school. Public transport capacity will be reduced to 50%. For sports, training is prohibited, Except for individuals and competing teams. Nationally and internationally. Hotels closed to tourists. Ski facilities still open. Swimming pools, gyms, wellness and wellness centers closed “.

Then Kompatscher adds: “The South Tyrol highway is an expression of what the spirit of autonomy is: loyal collaboration, homogeneity with the options of Rome where it is needed. The South Tyrol highway will always remain, but now we have data that they do not allow us less than the state. Indeed, we have to do more than other regions. ”
