On the weekend the passage of the area. The measures are relaxed, bars and restaurants reopen until 6 in the afternoon and more freedom of movement. But the Christmas decree penalizes the inhabitants of small towns and cities who run the risk of isolating themselves. Call to the government: “Change the rules”
“As of December 13, Piedmont will be in the yellow zone,” he said. Alberto Candle, the other day, citing that the Rt diffusion index fell further to 0.74. An almost certainty that of the president of the Region who, to be so, will have to see all the parameters in order at the end of this week which, therefore, will be crucial to eliminate the restrictions provided by the orange zone, starting with the prohibition still in force to travel in municipalities other than the one of residence or domicile. A prohibition that, however, as decided by the Government, will return to the entire country, although tinted yellow, for the days of the Christmas holidays.
And here the situation changes color to turn gray, especially for those small municipalities included in territories that often do not even form a neighborhood of a large or medium-sized city. Referring to this geographic disparity between those who live in a large city and those in a country, as in much of the region, the governor said that he had “shown the prime minister Giuseppe Conte doubts about this measure ”, receiving a response from Palazzo Chigi that has not yet officially arrived. Cirio had in fact explained that “the prime minister communicated that through the Faqs (the answers to the most frequent questions on the subject published on the Government’s website) that he would have clarified above all that, among the health reasons linked to the repeal of trips between municipalities, They also predict the social health and psychophysical well-being of an elderly person, allowing him to be with his family ”.
And that it is not an economic problem, but a social and affective one that worries many municipalities in Piedmont, he explains clearly. Frank Cominetto, President of the Turin Province of Anpci, the association of small towns of Italy. “Even today I was talking to one of my compatriots – says Cominetto who is mayor of Burolo, a little over 1,100 inhabitants of the Canavese area – and she told me: I’m alone and at Christmas I can’t even eat with my son who lives nearby ”. Close but in another municipality. And Piedmont is full of these cases, especially in the mountain valleys, but not only. “There are towns that have hamlets that to reach them you have to cross another municipality,” says the president of Anpci explaining what those who do not live in large and medium-sized cities, or in most of the Piedmont area, know well. And that he discovered, ending in the red and then orange region, how the disparity with respect to those who live in the city is as great as it is paradoxical. In the province, traveling the distance between a district in the north of Turin and another in the south, he does not cross two, but even three municipalities.
“The problem is that the government makes decisions without even listening to us. As mayors we obviously respect the provisions, but we would also like to be taken into account when there are decisions that involve us and that are taken, apparently, without knowing the problems and characteristics of the territory “, observes Cominetto who hopes” a rethinking without prejudice to the necessary precautions to avoid the spread of contagion. “Warn that another representative of local autonomies, such as Marco Bussone President of Uncem, the Union of Municipalities of the Mountain, puts in the foreground “avoiding any controversy and trusting in the recognition of the sense of responsibility that those who live in the valleys have always shown.” In short, not an “all for free” at Christmas, but a reasoned prolongation of that state of need that could also include those situations that, as Cominetto emphasizes, “do not concern economic aspects, but affective and family aspects.” For the president of Anpci, at the base of this distortion there is the same division of administrative borders that in the case of small municipalities collides with the same measures applied to medium or large centers. “In France, they have established a radius of twenty kilometers for small municipalities within which it is possible to travel. Even half that distance would be enough for us ”.
The possibility that the measures ordered by the last Dpcm regarding the prohibition of moving between municipalities, even small and neighboring ones, on Christmas Day will change in the direction desired by many mayors seems to be reduced to almost zero. The amendment to the Prime Minister’s decree is more likely to refer to sanctions for those who violate the provisions. They forgot to include them in the text, perhaps assuming that those of the previous Dpcm could also apply to this, but according to the jurists this is not the case. In short, it is easy to predict that the indications and figures of the fines will arrive, but not that moderate enlargement and responsible for the state of need that allows traveling a few kilometers, sometimes only a few hundred meters, to go from one country to another. . How can it be done, with much greater distances, in the city.
