July 11, 2020 "We think that in the face of possible critical situations, such as those identified by the Minister of the Interior, who spoke of social tensions in the autumn, it is inappropriate to find the country with an anomalous and misunderstood combination arranged between any complex social problems and special powers to the Prime Minister with a possible extension of the state of emergency ". This was stated by the president of Copasir and Northern League deputy Raffaele Volpi.       

"In a correct perimeter of the political and institutional roles between government, majority and opposition - adds Volpi - we believe that the probable and possible critical issues must find comparison and solutions in an immediate, aware and normal institutional confrontation, making the central role of Parliament fully highest institution of Italian democracy ".

According to the president of Copasir, the declarations of Minister Lamorgese on possible social tensions in the autumn "must be seriously considered as coming from the top political authority of the ministry to which solid and professional monitoring and prevention apparatuses belong. To the Ministry of the Interior - stresses - consequent and informative and operational responsibility considerations will be traced and will be traced, in such undesirable eventualities ".

Zingaretti: "We support every government choice against pandemic"
"The Pd is ready to support any government choice useful to contain the pandemic". To clarify it, on Twitter, is Nicola Zingaretti. "Those in the world who have not done so are paying a dramatic price," recalls the secretary of the Democratic Party.

Ceccanti (Pd): "Bene Conte in Parliament"
"An important clarification arrived yesterday on the need for the presence of the Prime Minister in Parliament before any extension of the state of emergency to explain the reasons and methods, as well as to receive addresses of the Chambers in the physiology of a parliamentary system of a consolidated democracy Since Minister Speranza is already scheduled to speak on Tuesday, originally intended only to illustrate the intent until July 31, without detracting from the President's decisive subsequent intervention of the Council, however, we can already expect some first clarifications on the guidelines that are maturing in the executive for the next phase ". This was stated by Stefano Ceccanti, head of the Pd Committee of the Constitutional Affairs of the Chamber.

Pharaoh (Iv): "Count compares in Parliament"
"The Prime Minister believes that we are still in an emergency situation? Then the challenge is to act accordingly: immediately yes to the Mes and white fiscal year". So the president of the senators of Italia Viva, Davide Faraone, in an interview with Il Dubbio. "If there is one thing missing from this government, it is strategy, it still cannot draw an idea of ​​the future," he warns. "As you know - he continues - we were the first to ask to leave safely taking some insults, especially on schools, where it was then understood who was right. The extension of the state of emergency until the end of the year is a problem huge for our economy, which was slowly returning to a semi-normal: if we go ahead with the emergency mode it means that workers will continue to be in smart working, that many companies will remain closed or will further see their turnover decrease, that there will be no new ones jobs and recovery in consumption, if not for some specific sectors ".   

"This is the first consideration and frankly the decisions of President Conte - presses the exponent Iv - leave us dumbfounded for various reasons: the first is that a similar announcement is not made while the gates of the Mose are raised. As too often has happened in In recent months, the prime minister has confused press conferences with parliamentary classrooms. He should have first dealt with political forces in the places of the institutions on such a delicate choice. Extending the state of emergency by another 5 months - says Pharaoh - means that even psychologically people will not exit the lockdown phase ".

Pharaoh anticipates that "we will immediately ask Conte two things: a white fiscal year and no uncertainty about the Mes. If we are in emergency mode we must behave accordingly, but not with the subsidy policy, with that of supporting businesses and professionals. Otherwise it will be a disaster. "

"I remember that this government was born a year ago on the impulse of Matteo Renzi with the idea of ​​involving all political forces to support a country in crisis, this is even more true today and even more so after the news of the extension".  

Gelmini (Fi): "Pd-Iv say no to full Count"
"Conte wanted a blitz. Council of ministers lightning, perhaps at night; state of emergency extended to December 31st; full powers confirmed to the Prime Minister. Period. The rise of opposition shields has stopped this clumsy attempt, now the decision must be taken from the Parliament. We do not ask the 5 stars for anything, it would be too much to ask, but instead we turn to the Democratic Party and Italia Viva, to say 'no' to this useless coronation demanded by Conte ". It is the appeal that comes from Mariastella Gelmini. The group leader FI in the Chamber adds that "without prejudice to the level of guard, to be kept high compared to Covid, a premier who acts as the absolute head of the Italian Republic is no longer acceptable. We are a mature democracy, we do not need to distort our institutions to deal with the pandemic tail ".

Sileri: "Extension necessary, Conte will go to Parliament"
The premier will go to Parliament for the extension of the state of emergency for the coronavirus. Deputy Minister of Health Pierpaolo Sileri confirms this in Corriere della Sera: "There is no doubt about this, everyone will remember that it was Conte himself who guaranteed that he would have informed the Chambers of each step. He never backed down and certainly did not will do it on this occasion. "   

The extension is necessary because "there are still cases of contagion, there is a need to issue new decrees and above all to confirm some measures. I believe that new outbreaks with tampons, quarantine and tracking are being managed in an optimal way. But precisely this shows that we are not out and we must also face economic needs "; which means "purchases, tenders, but also layoffs and other support measures for families and businesses. And then there is school. We must ensure that the children return to class in maximum safety and to do so the commissioner Arcuri will manage the tenders for the supply of the material ". We need the extraordinary procedure - he observes - "otherwise I doubt that we would be able to obtain the supplies on time. And instead we must in no way risk".

Ricciardi: "Emergency
extension is indispensable" "We are facing an epoch-making event that will last for years. The extension" of the state of emergency for coronavirus "is absolutely indispensable because we are still in a phase of global growth of the pandemic and in this situation no one can be safe. We need to continue to have that rapid reaction capability that the state of emergency has guaranteed to date. " This is what Walter Ricciardi, professor of public health at Cattolica and consultant of Minister Speranza, says in the Press.   

"If for several regions the profile has worsened it is because the various indicators are temporarily affected by the ignition of several outbreaks at the same time - he observes - if we remain at the current level we hold, if the actual outbreaks from 10 become 100 the situation is likely to escape the control".   

"Hot and high humidity levels hinder its spread, but alone are not enough to counter it, as evidenced by the explosion of contagions in hot countries - he says - I see a great general breakdown also here, however. The Italians give themselves a regulation because if we continue in this way, we will lose the opportunity to drastically reduce the infections. Many regions that had to get out of the epidemic now will still be inside in the autumn. When the virus could spread more easily ".

Fornaro (Leu): "Health must remain first"
"The government must continue to put citizens' health first and have the precautionary principle as the cornerstone of its strategy to combat Covid 19. Any extension to the December 31 of the national emergency for Covid 19 has nothing to do with the full powers of the Prime Minister on the Orban model in Hungary. Who outlines this scenario lies knowing that he is lying only for propaganda purposes ". This was stated by the group leader of LeU in Montecitorio Federico Fornaro.
