“The controls will be carried out not only on the roads, where we have already operated in these days in the Red Zone, but also online. This time for the holidays we know that through retreats on social networks, someone is trying to identify structures where to meet. We will take the necessary measures to prevent a repeat of what happened this summer, when the open nightclubs and the participation of young people determined a greater spread of the virus. It must be absolutely avoided ”. Thus, the Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese, in an interview with Radio Capital, talks about the controls put in place for the last year of 2020.

“However, it must be said that the sanctions so far have been few – continues the minister – there is a great sense of responsibility, and on the other hand at a time when the vaccination phase has begun, and we are seeing the light later After a long dark period, the sense of responsibility I am convinced that it will continue to prevail, even in this end of the year so different from other years. We do checks to avoid greater damage, now that the curve goes down, it seems silly, not responsible, go to parties that are not allowed. In the end it is a day that can be lived as a family. “” We have deployed 70 thousand men, Lamorgese specifies, to which must be added the municipal police personnel, throughout the national territory. .

The minister also intervenes in the case of social insults to the nurse Claudia Alivernini, the first to be vaccinated in Italy. “The Postal Police is monitoring to identify the authors of the insults on social networks, they are really unacceptable insults – says Lamorgese – because the nurse Alivernini gave a signal when getting vaccinated: to be well, others must also be well. The health personnel are close to the sick, those who insult them are people who do not have a minimum of responsibility, and who must immediately, once identified, be processed in the most serious way. “When it is my turn – the Minister declares – according to the established order, I will get vaccinated. I think it is a duty to protect yourself and others. I will spend the New Year at home with my husband, and on the other hand I will be close to the police forces, which these days will be busy, away from their families, to protect our days.
