Is Zaia’s “most yellow” area worse than orange? Merchants open, but no customers



[ad_1]

To keep open or not to keep open? That is the question. The regional ordinance signed by the governor Luca zaia Last week he instituted what in the president’s words was called the “more yellow” areaIn fact, something more than the straw desired by the Government of Rome, but at the same time something less than orange and red. Now, however, after the first weekend in which the effects of the measure have been concretely seen, there are those who begin to think that it would have been better to change the risk range, that is, to go from yellow to orange.

Walks, tourist complexes, a mask between obligations and prohibitions: the text of the order of Zaia

The reason? Simple: Governor Zaia’s regional ordinance has left bars and restaurants open on weekends (while shops are closed on Sundays), but the ban on walking in the city center (or in tourist areas where you can create). meetings), which no aim to make a purchase or consume on the premises, in fact it has left merchants almost no customers. Therefore, today in Veneto a restaurateur or even a patisserie can keep open, thus taking the costs of running the place, but in practice the potential audience of customers is drastically reduced. Hamletic’s doubt for those who today are carrying out an activity in the historic center is related, therefore, to the fact that, perhaps, it would have been better to have closed but with the guarantee of cheap “refreshments”. In short, perhaps it is better to be in the orange zone with the only possibility that clubs such as bars and restaurants take away service between 5 and 22 and delivery (without limitations) than to be able to keep activities open, but an unpopulated historic center.

The question is obviously complex, also because if in the center there are those who complain in an understandable way, in the suburbs it is unlikely that an activity manager would prefer to jump from the band to the orange zone, given that his business in the “yellow zone plus “does not suffer any particular. additional limitations compared to the standard yellow zone. Indeed, a neighborhood tavern, precisely because it is peripheral, today could even end up with an advantage over one located in the historic center of Verona. In short, Zaia’s ordinance seems to have turned the world upside down, but also divisive. It certainly is in political terms, among those who were forced to apply it and those, on the other hand, from the placid opposition benches, limited themselves to shouting alarmism. The problem is that, due to political opportunism, in many cases an attempt is made to obscure the real scope of Governor Zaia’s disposition, which, in fact, is very strict and penalizing for commercial activities. President Zaia made a provision unpopular, he had the courage and even the intellectual honesty to admit it.

When does Zaia’s ordinance expire? Obligation of mask, markets and opticians: some clarifications from the Veneto region

Zaia’s order obliges to close the days before holidays (Saturdays) “large and medium-sized sales structures, both with a single store and with several stores” wherever they are (downtown or outside the historic center). In addition, the ordinance establishes that “on holidays any type of sale is also prohibited, even in neighborhood shops, interiors or in public areas, with the exception of pharmacies, parapharmacies, tobacconists, newsagents and the sale of food products.” Once again, with regard to catering establishments, the ordinance establishes that “from 3:00 p.m. until the end of the year, the food and beverage administration activity is carried out exclusively with consumption sitting both indoors and outdoors. . outside the facilities, in common places. ” Finally, as is well known, Zaia’s provision states that walking is allowed, but “in any case outside the streets, squares of the historic city center, tourist complexes (sea, mountains, lakes) and other areas that are usually overcrowded, except for the residents of these areas ”.

Before all this Do you really want to continue talking about a luminous sign placed at the entrance to Verona that, moreover, does nothing more than inform with cold objectivity the provision of the ordinance that I have just mentioned? If really the problem had been the lighted sign, then you should have seen lines of cars making a “U-turn” approaching the sign. Why did this not happen? Trivially why the cars in Verona last weekend no they never arrived, precisely due to the effects of Governor Zaia’s disposition whose content had been widely publicized. Add to this one more thought as well: unlike bars and restaurants that might do alone home delivery and take out service, retail stores no they would suffer restrictions in the orange zone, where, however, mobility between municipalities would be further limited, with the inevitable negative effects on tourism. Nobody hides the complexity of the moment, the truth is that the regional order of Zaia officially expires on Sunday, November 22 (e no December 3 as initially announced), therefore there is still time to think about extending it or possibly instead modify it.
