"There is no argument from the Lombardy Region to challenge the national government or other local authorities. If the Lombardy Region believes that the creation of new red areas should be arranged earlier, with regard to the entire regional territory or to individual municipalities, it would have could easily create "red areas", in full autonomy "he writes.

"It should be noted - continues Conte - that the Regions have never been deprived of the power to adopt urgent ordinances".

Even on the failure to make the red zone in Alzano and Nembro, a closure that would probably have saved hundreds of lives in the Bergamo area, a closure that is the exclusive responsibility of the state.
