Coronavirus, Bonaccini: okay to hold, but the government had to discuss it with us

"The measures of the government deserved a comparison quote with the Regions". The president of the Emilia-Romagna region Stefano Bonaccini not argue on the merits - "the restrictive measures we had asked for we too" - but on the method. On the draft arrived in the evening, with little time to discuss it, while the content of the measure, "between red areas extended, blocks the production and limitations to the movement" to become public domain. From now on, makes it clear the president, "I hope that the confrontation with the government can be real, because if we ask citizens to do their part must be clear".

the President, in the meantime, how are you? Even the governor of the Piedmont is a positive result, as his two councillors. You have a new buffer?
"I'm fine. After the first test, negative, I stick to the protocols: in the absence of symptoms there is no need of the buffer. I think to work".

tells Us what happened last night with the government? The draft decree was circulated in advance, and you have defined is not clear. You did not have it discussed?
"let's just Say that there is an imperative that must never cease: the unity of the Country and of the institutions in dealing with the emergency. Ourselves, as governor, had spoken about the need for more restrictive measures, having regard to the growth of the outbreaks. But the draft of the decree which we have sent to you, in the evening it contained measures that had a comparison quote. Also to see if they were applicable. We found ourselves having to give an opinion in a very short time, while the draft was in the public domain, and spread the news of the red zones and extended, impossibility of travel, and blocks production. For this reason, we asked time. The goal is not in question, but we want to get there by giving clear and precise information".

For this has asked the government for a comparison more effective now?
"Yes, I hope this episode will strengthen the willingness of co-ordination, which, however, us presidents we have already shown".

The Emilia-Romagna region is split in half by this decree. Is feasible? Those who live in a red area will move to work in other areas? She is Modena, and works in Bologna.
"Meanwhile, we say that the areas in 'red' are no longer there. Were two, in the region and in the Veneto region, and the decree has abolished. There are now provisions which are more restrictive for the Lombardy region and a number of provinces, including five of the Emilia-Romagna region, and other measures for the rest of the Country. That said, workers and goods can move without blocks there is no firm production or commercial activities or services. Those who are well, it is not a positive nor in the quarantine, you can move for work, and towards the provinces, whether in one area or another. But be careful: only for reasons of work and of necessity, because it is the duty of all to limit their movements."

There will be checkpoints?
"No, absolutely not. It is up to the prefects to enforce the decree through the police forces, but I repeat: the red areas have been abolished".

She never had to fear these days? There are those who fear that the firm production is just around the corner, if things should worsen.
"no Fear. Of course, alive to the concerns of every citizen. You are afraid for themselves, for their loved ones, to friends. For this we have to stop the contagion. The measures, then, are taken at the national level, and now the contagion has a european scale. But no one has ever suggested to stop the production".

"The Republic will fight always in defense of the freedom of information, to its readers and to all those who have at heart the principles of democracy and civil coexistence"
