“We consider an institutional incorrectness to find a rule that was not discussed in the three meetings that we held between Saturday and Sunday. We found it on television during Prime Minister Conte’s press conference. We do not evade responsibility, mayors take responsibility every day, it is a matter linked to institutional correctness. Inserting that rule in the decree without saying anything to the mayors seemed to us a way of unloading the responsibility of the curfew on the mayors in front of the public opinion and I must say that the effect has arrived. Since this morning, citizens have been asking us which areas are going to be closed, ”he said. Start, at Sky TG24, the mayor of Bari and president of the National Association of Italian Municipalities (Anci) Antonio Decaro. After that -he added- first I asked the prefect to convene the provincial commission of public order, extended to the police and the ASL, because from the way the decree is written it is not clear who should do what, I need with them to understand which are the areas that can create problems from the point of view of contagion and above all, the Quaestor and the Prefect, who controls those areas, owes me, who cannot close the mayor with all good will ”. The prefect, the one who represents the government – he later commented – will have to tell us what to do, if we have to identify the areas from which we will not escape, we have a duty to protect our fellow citizens. The important thing is to understand, based on that rule, who has to do what ”.

“We assume responsibility every day. The problem with this Dpcm is that the rule that provides for the closure of squares and streets does not indicate anything about the methods, controls, responsibilities,” commented instead the mayor of Florence, Darío Nardella. general in La7 -. After six months of experience in front of Covid – he continued – we are surprised that such a generic measure is introduced. Let us clearly indicate how we can close squares and streets, let us tell the prefects to support the mayors as much as possible. A mayor alone cannot use these tools ”.

Nor with what means can they be implemented. ”“ To close a plaza with five access routes, ”Gori added, at least 10 agents are needed. Who has them? But then, says the Dpcm, it is necessary to allow access to shops and homes. How is it checked? What if people move and congregate on the next street? Inapplicable “.” Unacceptable and inapplicable the rule that unloads the management of the curfew in the municipalities, without men and without means. All Italian municipalities are in revolt and are asking the government to change it. Now, “added the mayor of Ancona to the dose. Valeria Mancinelli.

” We must decide together and we must participate in places of decision. Doing a curfew on the street or in the square has nothing to do with containing the outbreaks that we would like to try to contain, ” said the mayor of Naples, Luigi de Magistris, on TV8. The measure, according to the mayor, is “unworkable.” We, he explained, do not have a third of the municipal police personnel, we do not have the economic resources to pay for overtime and we have to face a social and economic epidemic. The worst measure was taken. The government does not want to assume this responsibility and leaves the party in our hands. ” According to the mayor, “after 9 months the time has come to unite with our differences, to work together because each one has to assume their own responsibilities and the mayors do it and even take charge of those who unload us without consulting us.”
