MILANO – Businesses, especially restaurants, which say they are “punished” by the new Green pass and complain of being transformed into public health and safety policemen. The fairs are happy, because they hope to return to attract foreign visitors. In the territories in no particular order: some reject it, some welcome it as a desirable step to definitively return to normality.
The measures taken by the government “not to close” divide. Before the Council of Ministers on Thursday evening which dictated the new rules, the vicar vice president of Fipe-Confcommercio, the Italian Federation of public businesses, Aldo Cursano had invited to “use it in a positive and not punitive way”. Cursano hoped that it would be useful “to reopen those activities that are still closed at the moment, such as discos”, which however did not happen. Ever since the rumors about the stop at the dance halls came out, which was accompanied by an ad hoc fund for refreshments, the category has made itself felt.

“The Government has, in fact, decided to legalize the rampant illegal activity that we have been denouncing for months, without being taken into consideration! We dance everywhere and without controls, except in the disco, the only place where those security protocols already endorsed at the time by the CTS “, said Maurizio Pasca, president of Silb-Fipe, the Italian union of dance clubs. For which “this is yet another slap in the face of our sector, a real tombstone on 3,000 companies destined to close and leave 100,000 workers on the street”.
The note from the Italian sector is hard, which through the managing director Luigi Scordamaglia says: “The opinion on the measure adopted is absolutely negative”. Subject to the underlying principle, “it definitely does not meet the de facto requirement for indoor restaurants only,” he says. And he adds: “We do not have the courage to impose a necessary measure immediately for all services and situations of real risk of contagion, so we do not immediately intervene on means of transport, on schools, on public offices (postponed without date ) and it is applied where it is less useful but easier “. On the penalties, Scordamaglia attacks: “There is talk of a 1000 euro fine: we hope they will be charged to patrons who are not owners of the shops, the restaurateurs are certainly not police officers”. And also on the times and vaccines of employees: “In the decree there must also be the compulsory vaccination of staff working in restaurants otherwise it will be impossible to manage the new obligations with legislation such as the current one that does not allow the employer to even ask if the employees are vaccinated. Give them 10 more days to take effect or it will be total chaos. “

From Confesercenti there was talk of a measure that risks being “unfairly punitive for companies, which not only have to bear the organizational and economic burden of control, but also assume legal responsibilities that are not theirs”. According to the association “the collaboration of companies cannot become an excessive assumption of responsibility or an organizational chaos, also in consideration of the fact that the green pass is in any case a strong limitation of economic activity, which will certainly be compensated”. Asking for a meeting with the first Draghi before the entry into force (scheduled for August 6) Confesercenti declares as “incomprehensible inconsistencies” the extension of the obligation also to outdoor fairs and festivals “which appears unjustified, given that notoriously the danger of contagion to the open air is less “and the closing of the discos.
Similar tones for the Cna Piedmont according to which “restaurateurs and bartenders cannot become controllers”. Of different opinion Confartigianato Bologna which promotes the license and makes an appeal in favor of vaccinations. “It is a matter of common sense. Each of us has a responsibility towards the community in which we live. The vaccine should not be interpreted as an obligation, but as a choice of respect and protection for those close to us”, he says. the secretary Amilcare Renzi.
Fairs also welcome the news positively. “We share the decision of President Draghi and the Council of Ministers to extend the compulsory nature of the Green pass for access to Italian fairs. A solution hoped for by most of the fair organizers, exhibitors and foreign buyers about to participate in the 335 events. expected from now to the end of the year, “said the president of Aefi – Association of Italian exhibitions and fairs, Maurizio Danese, according to whom “our demonstrations, already regulated by security protocols validated by the Ministries of Foreign Affairs and Health, will be even safer”. At this point, the hope is that they speed up the health corridors to bring back foreign buyers.
