The prolonged quarantine could be avoided with previous measures, taken responsibly, and the extension “dictated” from Bucharest, as a form of protective decision “from the center”, denotes the fact that the opinion of the “province” is no longer taken into account , said, on Sunday evening, the Liberal deputy of Timiş, Marilen Pirtea.
His intervention follows the decision taken by Order of the Head of the Department of Emergency Situations, to extend the zonal quarantine imposed on Timişoara and the four peri-urban communes, for another 72 hours.
“The quarantine imposed for two weeks, in Timişoara and neighboring towns, did not have the desired results, on the contrary, the contagion rate increased, and in Timişoara it generated large discrepancies between the private and state environment, with ‘victims’ The HoReCa sector and the education system, the extension ‘dictated’ in Bucharest, as a form of guardian decision of ‘center’, makes us wonder why the opinion of the ‘province’ is still necessary. The rigor of the preventive measures applied responsibly by the authorities, not in the coercion of quarantine, as a final measure. Decisions must not be affected by political interference and prejudice, ”said Marilen. Pirtea, in a post on Facebook.
He says that during this difficult period, the liberals devised solutions to avoid disasters in these areas, but that they were not taken into account by the local administration.
“Now, when there was a great need for radical decisions, we found ourselves in the situation where the highest representative of the municipality (Mayor Dominic Fritz – no.) Abstained from voting (at the meeting of the County Committee for Emergency Situations on Saturday, as for I proposed to adjust the VAT for the food industry, with delivery from 9% to 5%, a measure aimed at supporting the HoReCa industry, one of the sectors of the economy most affected during the pandemic, I proposed the introduction of tests rapid SARS-CoV-2 antigens for restaurant customers, but also for educational staff, and now, after lifting the restrictions, we learn that still, in the localities of Timiş with an infection rate higher than 6 per thousand inhabitants, the online courses will also be held “, Pirtea details.
The deputy highlights that the effects of the 2020 pandemic, which continues in 2021, are like an economic cataclysm due to the particularly wide-ranging consequences that they can produce, culminating in a more severe economic contraction than during the crisis ten years ago.
“Faced with this situation, we must not only have as a defense weapon only the observance of measures of social distancing, hygiene, vaccination or, finally, quarantine, but also a responsible administrative-territorial organization, which will make the most effective decisions, only for the benefit of the community, ”says Pirtea.
The Liberal Deputy Mayor of Timişoara, Cosmin Tabără, stated, in the same context, also in a post on Facebook, that “it is time to let us decide alone. Always, others try to decide for us. If Bucharest wants to help Us, to to finance with money for ATI beds, to distribute many more vaccines for this deeply affected area, to finance the hospitals in relation to the financial contribution of our county. It is enough, to always decide our destiny in Bucharest. “
