The crucial point is the control of the green pass in local transport. Not the only issue addressed in the long meeting at the Viminale convened today by Minister Luciana Lamorgese with the prefects and quaestors of the regional capitals. Also present were the Chief of Police Lamberto Giannini, the Commander General of the Carabinieri, Teo Luzi, and the Deputy Commander General of the Guardia di Finanza, Giuseppe Vicanolo. The prefects will soon meet again with the minister. To make the first point about starting the checks on the super green pass. Not just those on public transport.
Prefects mobilized
“In this still very delicate phase for public health, the police forces and local police will continue to give their all and act responsibly but also with the necessary firmness, carrying out tighter checks on green certification with particular attention to areas and at the times of greatest influx of people »says Luciana Lamorgese in a statement released at the end of the meeting. The checks, therefore, will be more widespread and intense, announces the owner of the Interior. As requested by the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, in the meeting at Palazzo Chigi to approve the decree law n.172 / 2021. The methods of checks are entrusted to those responsible in the area of public security, prefects and quaestors.
The involvement of the categories
The theme of the green certificate crosses large swathes of the business world, including exhibitors but not only. The guarantee in urban centers of maximum certainty on the use of the super green pass passes first of all to the owners of the points of sale and of other kinds. “I asked the prefects to involve all the interested parties, recommending them to intensify the dialogue with the representatives of the trade associations of the exhibitors also in order to develop a capillary work of raising awareness of their members” Lamorgese underlines. It will be necessary to see if the desired moral suasion is effective and shared, province by province.
Interventions on subways and buses
“On the basis of the new legislation, the prefects were asked to develop dedicated devices for the controls on the users of local public transport with modalities shared with the service companies within the provincial committees for public order and safety” says the note from the Ministry of the Interior. The provincial committees, chaired by the prefect, bring together the heads of the forces of order and the local police. Therefore, the number one of the provincial transport company will also be invited to these offices “. In short, we will see how and when to arrange the checks required by the decree law. Complex undertaking, not always with certainty of result. But the trend of the infections now requires it.
