The Dpcm October 25 closes Italy at 6 pm …

Dietrofront. After announcing a press conference for 8.30pm to illustrate it, the Dpcm October 25 of Giuseppe Conte already in the air since Wednesday he stops on the home straight for a letter from the disputed Regions the squeeze of bars and restaurants and the closing of commercial activities at 6pm and they ask for forms of compensation for the losses of the traders. But the latest news says the draft will not change.

The Dpcm October 25 closes Italy at 6 pm …

That’s that the closure of the restaurant business at 6 pm It is confirmed even if the Regions asked to postpone it until 11 pm but on the other hand the holiday will be skipped: the shops can remain open (always until 18) even Saturday and Sunday; The closure of cinemas, theaters, gyms and swimming pools was confirmed in the Dpcm during the meeting between the Prime Minister and the heads of delegation of the majority forces that ended late at night. But everything could jump again as the agreement was updated this morning.

The executive has also provided refreshments to the sectors affected by the new anti-Covid measures. The resources made available to those forced to close the shutters amount to 2,000 million euros, which could be included in a decree from next week. Meanwhile, the rule that suspends public and private competitions seems destined: “But the school one – reveals a source present at the table to AdnKronos – will go ahead.” For the rest, the measures present in the draft are confirmed, namely:

• Distance education of all secondary schools is 75% ready, Regions are 100% ready. Nurseries, kindergartens, elementary and middle schools will remain present;
• Shows open to the public are suspended in cinemas, theaters and concert halls. Indoors and outdoors. Discos and dance halls are closed. Parties are prohibited, indoors and outdoors, even after weddings and communions. Stop at arcades, gambling halls, bingo, and casinos. The museums are still open;

• It is strongly recommended not to receive people who are not partners at home. If outsiders come “for work or emergency reasons”, a mask is highly recommended even in private homes “;
• He stopped the next public competitions in presence, with the exception of medical and civil protection. Tests already started and approved by the CTS can continue. Among these, the extraordinary contest of precarious teachers.

Who pushes Conte towards the confinement?

The soft closure in the Dpcm draft October 25

The story of yesterday’s hours remains to tell a now palpable confusion in the executive. In the middle of the afternoon a draft began to circulate and a press conference announced by Conte made us think about the launch of the measures for yesterday and therefore an entry into force already today, October 25. Then the internal disputes in the majority and the letter from the local authorities caused everything to explode. Within the government, the Democratic Party and LeU are the ones who want it, while the 5 Star Movement and Italia Viva are on the same side among the “openingists”. In the middle is Conte, who tries to mediate between health and the economy. And that today, precisely because of his vacillating positions, he is even criticized in Daily occurrence from Marco Travaglio, who says that the draft is affected by at least three inconsistencies:

1) The contagion gallops especially during the day, in public transport that takes students to schools and workers to workplaces: what is the use of concentrating the prohibitions at night, when there are much fewer people around, accomplices ? the first cold?

2) The other main context of contagions are families in the enclosure of their homes, with students and workers who come home in the afternoon and infect parents and grandparents: what sense does it make for everyone to return earlier, lengthening the hours of coexistence? walls of the house?

3) If the goal is to keep people as much as possible in controlled and respectful spaces, what is the point of closing restaurants and bars (already halved by fear and still complying with anti-Covid protocols) at age 18 , pushing those who frequented them to go for a walk or lock themselves at home from dinner time?

In recent days we have talked about the dilemma of the Palazzo Chigi prisoner, caught between those who push him into confinement in Italy and those who tell him that the country’s economy cannot endure other months of closures. With the Dpcm draft of October 25, the prime minister chooses for the umpteenth time a middle ground to please everyone, obtaining the result of making everyone unhappy. The more concrete risk is that even today’s measures are too light and lead to a new additional measure at the end of next week.
