COMMERCE – The businessman questions the government’s decisions and appeals to the prefect: “He tells us to close but also to do so with the other medium-sized sales structures in Civitanova”
from Luca patrassi
One mayor opens, another closes, the third calmly invites you to respect the rules, preferably elsewhere. The most important month of the year for the rotation of commercial activities is the one that goes by registering collapses that would be desirable only when compared with the contagion curve. The different decrees not only oblige operators to comply with security protocols – sanitation, distances, masks – but also to remain closed in the case of medium-sized sales areas, called MSV, on weekends, holidays and pre-holidays.
A uniform rule, logically applied to all? Given the way the rule is applied, it’s easy to say no. Just look at the images that circulate these days, especially in coastal towns and in some historic centers. The Corridomnia affair would suffice to understand that it is one thing to sign decrees and another to obtain results of the type perhaps planned. Barbara Cacciolari, entrepreneur, member of the family that runs the Shoes & Company stores, and Awlab, highlights what is happening to the detriment not only of her business but of the several hundred people in the province that revolve around that world , merchants and even employees. «It is a struggle of the poor, in the last dpcm all the structures have been included without considering that we have come from a strong confinement. December is the most important month of the year from the economic point of view and instead we are forced to see the medium-sized sales structures like ours in Corridomnia closed, but the historic centers open. In addition, medium-sized structures are closed in Corridonia but remain open in Civitanova, in fact it would be up to the mayor to verify them and force them to close: the prefect orders us to close but what about the others then? We ask you to work calmly and freely, complying with the protocols as we have always done with great care. The situation is now becoming unsustainable, it is impossible to continue like this, we must be aware.
The logic of the decrees and territorial applications: “The Marches – analyzes Barbara Cacciolari – have 1.5 million inhabitants, a population concentration that is obviously not that of Milan and Rome: there are many spaces, spread throughout the territory. The closure of shopping centers will cause a lot of damage, unsustainable loss of billing, those who have made these laws of commerce do not understand. In the first phase of the pandemic, manufacturing companies came to meet us, now they can no longer do so: everything is under our responsibility, we have tried to survive in every way, today all this jumps. In a 31-day calendar we work only 18 days, closed on holidays and the eve of holidays, Saturdays, Sundays, yesterday and today: an incredible damage, I no longer know how to explain it, there are no longer conditions to continue. The prefect must guarantee public order, I am a medium-sized structure and they tell me to remain closed while in Civitanova similar structures in the commercial area near the highway remain open, while the countryside is full of people with shops attached to each other. If it is a question of principle, the principle must apply to everyone and not just in the interior of the country, which is already badly hit by the earthquake. In our areas, shopping centers are safe places, they have ample spaces available for customers who enter according to the rules.
Beyond some mayors who do not intervene, Barbara Cacciolari offers another reading of the different dpcm: «A Movement of the Five Star Movement to strengthen historic centers and find ways to destroy shopping centers: They do not consider that the historic centers have been depopulated for decades and have lost many activities, the restoration activities have been maintained. We must have projects to improve and provide services to the areas before deciding by decree to put an end to some activities that also support the economy of the territories by providing employment and paying taxes. Barbara Cacciolari’s final message: “All mayors comply with the law, the interior is still penalized, there is a striking and clearly visible disparity for the benefit of the coast. We have the right to work, instead they intimidate us so that we stay closed and there are no refreshments of any kind, only dismissals of employees after months ”.
