Marsilio: “Intimidation about responsibility for infections is ridiculous”

I received around lunchtime the notification letter signed by Ministers Boccia and Speranza: I do not want to dramatize the conflict with the government, but frankly I consider the tone intimidating and the threat of criminal responsibility regarding the contagions that would be excessive if not ridiculous. of this event, ”said the president of the Abruzzo Region, Marco Marsilio, in response to the warning sent by the Government after its regional ordinance that restored the orange zone in Abruzzo in advance. Shortly before on Rai Radio 1, during the “Che giorno è” program, he said not to seek “institutional clashes: I collaborate and will continue to collaborate fairly with the government.” Although it is clear that such actions have consequences.

“I am not irresponsible”

“I think the government has misinterpreted the rules and deadlines that don’t take into account the real data. I am not irresponsible. I anticipated the red zone. I think we must be serious: when there is danger, safeguard solutions are adopted, even the most drastic. But when the data shows us that the situation is under control, we reopen safely. Marsilio initially tested the letter of moral suasion, asking the government “not to apply time in a cold and bureaucratic way.” Then he had opted for a tug of war with the government, signing the ordinance in force since December 7 that immediately returns the region to the orange zone, except for the effects in the lower secondary cycle that begin on December 9. Therefore, the stores are open from December 7 and from December 9, the second and third grade lessons will be present again.

Stores open amid mixed messages from government and region

Marsilio’s ordinance, with the region’s DIY transition from red to orange, allowed for the reopening of clothing, shoe, and jewelry stores that had had to lower their blinds when the red-light district began. “With the ordinance in force – explained the regional director of Confesercenti Lido Legnini – whoever wants it today has been able to reopen. We expected a reopening of the agreement between the Region and the Government, but it is good because we can return to a complete opening of fixed trade. However, we have also asked the prefectures that in case of changes in the ordinances it is communicated in a timely manner to the commercial associations and merchants ”.
