Majority in pressing on the Government to raise the limits of electromagnetic waves, thus adapting them to the rest of Europe and favoring the development of the Italian 5G, broad and sustainable. The current Italian limits are ten times lower, penalizing the construction of the network and at the same time forcing operators to increase the number of antennas.
The last round took place this week, when Enza Bruno Bossio – who is pursuing these issues for the Democratic Party – used the hearing of the innovation minister Vittorio Colao to push him to evaluate the problem. The issue is bipartisan, because at the end of March the Tlc Transport Commission of the Chamber approved an opinion that commits the Government to various interventions on the PNRR, including bringing the Italian electromagnetic limits to the European level. Bossio and Paolo Ficara (M5s) were the rapporteurs of the opinion. “The League agrees in evaluating raising the limits”, adds a Republic Massimiliano Capitanio, who follows these themes for the party.

Colao showed a first small opening, while moderating his words. The theme – as you know – is unpopular. “To avoid the 10-fold increase in Italian limits on electromagnetic emissions approved by the Parliamentary Commission, Alleanza Italiana Stop 5G promotes a hunger strike. Citizens, activists, politicians, mayors, doctors and technicians have already joined. 62,000 signatures have already joined”, reads a note released by Alleanza Italiana Stop 5G a few days ago.
“We must guarantee the possible number of antennas and citizens’ health and tranquility”, Colao replied in the hearing. “We know that 5G requires many more antennas, we need a balance (between interests, ed) “, continued Colao, who as former CEO of Vodafone knows the situation well. Finally, openness, with measured words:” Science speaks here and the scientific evidence will be evaluated, if it is to be evaluated “.

Evidence that has so far denied a concrete risk connected to mobile radio antennas (including those of the frequencies used by 5G), despite the thousands of studies done.
Finally, the Antitrust also took sides in favor of this thesis, at the end of March, in a letter sent to the President of the Council of Ministers with proposals related to the Annual Law for the Market and Competition. The Authority asks to verify the validity of these limits which “appear to be extremely reduced compared to those recommended in Europe” constituting “a barrier to the entry and expansion of new operators and new services”.
On the other side of the fence, now, apart from the committees and associations of anti-5G citizens, there seems to be only Fratelli D’Italia. Or at least so it appears from the words of its exponent Marco Silvestroni, during the hearing in Colao: “On the electromagnetic waves in the corridors within the majority, opinions are chasing freely”, he said, adding that the increase in limits “for us it is not priority “; while asking, like the majority and as announced by Colao himself in a future decree, simplifications for operators for the installation of fixed and mobile networks.
