The government evaluates a tightening of anti-contagion measures on holidays and days before holidays: the idea on the table is to make all of Italy a red zone or an orange zone on the days of greatest risk, while allowing a specific relaxation for small municipalities. The hypothesis, as Ansa has learned at the end of the meeting of heads of delegation, is to adopt homogeneous rules throughout Italy, with a tightening of the provisions as also announced by Merkel in Germany, to avoid the third wave. This is what emerges at the end of the summit between Giuseppe Conte and the head of delegation, the Minister of the Regions Francesco Boccia, the undersecretary Riccardo Fraccaro, the Minister for Relations with Parliament Federico D’Incà on the issue of travel between municipalities in the Christmas holidays. tomorrow a new meeting between the heads of the majority delegation and the experts of the Scientific technical committee and ministers Luciana Lamorgese, Francesco Boccia and others. The meeting, proposed by the head of delegation of Cinquestelle Alfonso Bonafede, has a double objective: to analyze the epidemiological situation and health risks and to understand if there are any particular concerns regarding possible concentrations in commercial streets in the coming days.
Therefore, a new dpcm is not excluded. And, therefore, interventions to avoid concentrations in the streets and shopping malls and in the central areas of large cities – providing greater controls and selective closures or anticipating the curfew and closing of bars and restaurants – and limiting large movements, therefore, both between the regions -which, however, will be interrupted as of December 21 by the Dpcm already in force- and those within them. “We are in a phase that puts us all to the test, we will overcome the storm and we will come out better,” Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said today, who chaired the meeting of the heads of delegation in the afternoon to refine the exceptions for the small municipalities promised in the days gone by.
The squeeze
Those of the Democratic Party (government and party) began in the afternoon to invoke a tightening of anti-Covid measures during the Christmas holidays: “We need measures to contain the coronavirus.” “The measures indicated a few weeks ago by the government to contain the pandemic curve are working. If the situation in many regions improves, it is only thanks to these containment measures and consistent and responsible behavior. Despite this, the number of victims is dramatic, as is the total number of positives. Now we must do everything possible not to scatter these results and not go backwards. Therefore, given a certain increase in the risk of social gatherings due to the holiday period and the recommendations for prudence and responsibility of the national scientific committee, it is necessary to evaluate the adoption of New measures that guarantee the containment of infections». This is what emerged today during a meeting of the Pd ministers with the group leaders of the House and Senate, the Secretary Nicola Zingaretti and undersecretary Andrea Orlando.
As for waivers and flexibilities with a view to Christmas, a big problem for the Democratic Party as European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni she indicated Merkel’s cautious line by citing the lowest numbers in Germany.
The #Germany it has had 1.3 million cases and 21,000 deaths so far. We have 1.8 million cases and 64 thousand deaths. In Germany, the daily average is now 25.7 cases and 0.5 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants. In #Italy 27.4 cases and 1.1 deaths. In Germany new restrictive measures until January 10
– Paolo Gentiloni (@PaoloGentiloni) December 13, 2020
The prime minister in Brussels two days ago had made this clear and questioned the parliament. “If Parliament, taking full responsibility, wants to introduce exceptions for smaller municipalities, within a limited kilometer radius, we will come back to this point. Parliament is sovereign, but great caution is needed in any exception, ”said Giuseppe Conte.
How to get to the exemptions for small municipalities
The hypothesis is to allow only municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants to leave, establishing a limit of kilometers, and should translate into a majority movement that binds the government, to be deposited in the Senate on Monday and voted on Wednesday in the House. According to Coldiretti, the issue affects more than 10 million Italians, who are those who live in small towns with fewer than 5,000 inhabitants.

The positions
“We can think of some exceptions for small municipalities”, even with less than five thousand inhabitants, “but small exceptions must remain within the line of rigor and firmness that must be central.” Thus, M5S sources reaffirm the Movement’s position before the meeting of heads of delegation at Palazzo Chigi. The five stars also express satisfaction with the position adopted in recent hours by the Democratic Party, which has called for a greater tightening although, it is emphasized, in recent days there have been too many “ups and downs” on the part of the Democrats, who have at least assumed 3 different positions.
“Consistency”. It is the line that, as it was learned, the minister of Iv Teresa Bellanova will lead to the meeting of the heads of delegation on Covid. “Let’s talk to the scientific community and decide on coherent and understandable measures”, is his position. “Even more restrictive than the current ones, if necessary, but understandable. Because it is the only way to induce citizens to respect them. Bellanova – it is recalled – had raised this issue at the stop to travel at Christmas and New Year’s Eve that, while blocking municipalities, perhaps for distances less than a kilometer, allows traveling through cities, often at much greater distances.
