“Vacicni, school, economy, foreign policy. Here are the main points we have addressed today ”. “The vaccination campaign continues fast, by the end of September we will have coverage of 80% of the vaccination”. These are the first words of Prime Minister Mario Draghi during the press conference after the Council of Ministers which was convened for 11.30 and which ended in the early afternoon. Then ikl premieri Draghi dwelt on the acts of violence of the No Vax: «Hateful and cowardly acts, and I don’t want to dwell more».

Pink stalls, wild parking spaces and doubled fines
The “pink stalls”, that is the parking spaces reserved for pregnant women, enter the Highway Code and increase the penalties for those who occupy the reserved parking spaces without authorization.

The decree also provides for a strengthening of the penalties for those who occupy the pink stalls and other reserved parking spaces without being authorized: for example, the fines for those who park in the spaces reserved for people with disabilities are doubled and the new penalty will be between 168 and 672 euros. . The provision also provides incentives for municipalities to allow free parking for people with disabilities within the blue lines if the reserved stall is occupied. More expensive fines are also provided for those who stop in urban pardoned areas. The interventions on micromobility will be agreed in parliament on the occasion of the conversion into law of the decree.
