In the end Nello Musumeci challenges the Draghi government and winks at the No Vax. The president of the Sicilian Region has signed an ordinance that allows Sicilians to cross the Strait even with the simple Green Pass, that is, with the tampon. The order, which comes after a letter sent Sunday by the Sicilian governor to the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, will be in force starting at 2 pm: the law, however, provides for some restrictions for those who cross the Strait without the Super Green Pass, with the obligation for those who travel by car to stay in the car, while pedestrians are obliged to remain in the open common areas and to wear the FFP2 mask.
Later in the day the president of the Calabria Region Roberto Occhiuto signed a similar ordinance which provides for the possibility of using public transport and maritime connection between Calabria and Sicily even with the basic green pass (healing, vaccination or negative buffer ). Non-vaccinated people will be obliged to remain in their respective vehicles for the entire time of the crossing and, pedestrians, to park in the open common areas of the boats, maintaining distance and wearing an FFP2 mask. Access to the closed premises is allowed only to holders of the “enhanced” or “booster” certification.
Musumeci Ordinance, Micciché’s criticisms: “I doubt the state won’t block it”
by Fabrizio Bertè
The move by the Sicilian governor comes at the end of a tug-of-war entirely internal to Sicilian politics. From Sunday, in fact, the mayor of Messina Cateno De Luca – a center-right exponent who had entered a collision course with Musumeci for months – occupied the pier to protest against the ban introduced by the Draghi government and remained on the seashore in a tent. Musumeci, who started a crisis in the regional government last week, thus ended up under the cross-attack of his own center-right allies: this morning, among others, the president of Ars was also presented on the shores of the Strait. Gianfranco Miccichè to sympathize with De Luca and attack the governor. “Let’s put an end to this – declares Musumeci, who with the same ordinance has abrogated the possibility for the mayors in the orange zone to resort to Dad, which had caused controversy and appeals to the TAR – to an absurd injustice especially to the detriment of Sicilian passengers. discriminatory rule of the central government to which we have already been appealing for two weeks, so that it can be remedied “.
The first dose is not enough to pass the Strait. And the “smugglers” appear
by Fabrizio Bertè and Miriam Di Peri
Sunday Musumeci had announced the move by writing to Speranza. His stance, however, had provoked the reaction of his Calabrian colleague Roberto Occhiuto: “Musumeci – he said yesterday morning – has never called me. If ordinances arrive we will read them and then we will evaluate what to do”. “It is absurd – Musumeci replies – that in the Peninsula every citizen without a vaccine can move from one region to another, while to go from Sicily to Calabria one must show the green certificate. Everyone knows that I have never been generous with the No Vax, but here even Sicily’s belonging to the rest of Italy is questioned. I want to hope that my colleague Occhiuto from Calabria, to whom I announced my initiative, intends to adopt the same measure. Rome must stop appearing arrogant or distracted towards the rights of the Sicilians “. In reality, the communication to Occhiuto came only with a message and the Calabrian president does not hide the irritation: “Musumeci – cut short after reading the ordinance – only sent me a Whatsapp”.
