Movements between municipalities at Christmas and New Years, the red light can change color and the rules can change. Within the government a modification of the measures is being evaluated, established with the decree and the Christmas Dpcm, launched at the beginning. Specifically, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte would be reflecting on the possibility of reviewing the cessation of movements between Municipalities – especially small municipalities – on December 25 and 26 and January 1. The issue has been at the center of the majority discussion for days, with the changes invoked especially in the Senate by the Pd and Italia Viva components. The pressure has also continued in recent days and, parliamentary sources refer to Adnkronos, from an interlocution with the government on the subject even two days ago in the Senate, on the occasion of Conte’s communications. And the Prime Minister reportedly would be willing to think about the hypothesis of a rule change. According to Adnkronos, the issue will be addressed when Conte returns from the European Council in Brussels and will see the heads of delegation and group leaders of the majority forces. And it was from Brussels that the Prime Minister would have called the heads of delegation to quickly confront them on the hypothesis of opening a reflection on the subject, finding them accessing a new moment of discussion on one of the rules that aroused the most debate.

Within the executive, Luigi Di Maio assumed a public position. “I think it is absurd not to allow relatives who live in small neighboring towns to spend Christmas and New Years together. I say this for a logical question. There are large cities of millions of people with a very high density where it is possible to move freely, while among small towns of a few thousand inhabitants it is not allowed, “wrote the chancellor in a post on Facebook.” This is a problem that must be solved and I hope that all the majority forces agree to find a solution.

“It will already be a Christmas different from the others, where we will all have many limitations and we will have to be even more careful than usual to avoid the spread of the virus, but at least as much as possible we allow families to be together – wrote Di Maio – For Of course, all citizens will have to act taking into account that if we do not respect the anti-Covid rules, therefore, masking and distancing, the risk of a third wave materializes ”. “But with civic sense and responsibility we can spend the holidays with our loved ones,” he concluded. Many people, even without legal impositions or obligations, choose every day, in many small daily gestures, to be prudent and respectful. my thanks go. “

The position of the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, continues to be marked by “maximum prudence.” “I have a lot of respect for the parliamentary debate, between now and Christmas there are two weeks, and there is still a piece of discussion, but for me the rules approved by the government are correct,” he said in the episode of Porta a Porta. “I would like to say that everything is over but unfortunately it is not like that – Speranza stressed – and the most dramatic number is the number of deaths, today 887. We cannot get used to these numbers, because behind each one of those people there is a life, relatives crying and much pain. We ask Italians for more patience and sacrifices also for this Christmas ”.

With the colors of the different regions “we are giving spaces of freedom”, and we must “manage to endure these two insidious weeks. The experience of the summer also scares me because unfortunately many have thought that the game was won and that the Covid. Then we saw what happened. And summer is even less risky than Christmas, because, for climatic reasons, traditionally it is a lot outdoors and contagion is more difficult. On the other hand, during the Christmas holidays it is clear that we tend to stay indoors, often also having difficulty ventilating due to low temperatures. So we really need to keep the point. “
