21 April 2021 The new Covid DL, valid from 26/4 to 31/7, is the heart of the Council of Ministers at Palazzo Chigi.



The knot to be solved still remains the curfew confirmed at 22 also this morning to RaiNews24 by Minister Patuanelli, although the Regions insist on moving it to 11 pm. From 26 April the yellow areas will return, many will return to school and will be able to resume many outdoor activities .



"I think that over 11 regions will switch to yellow", says Minister Gelmini. Here comes the "green card" for travel between Regions: whoever falsifies it will risk imprisonment. Restaurants and shows gradually reopen. Perhaps the reopening of fairs and parks has been anticipated. Pressing for gyms.



The positions

Italia viva, Lega and Forza Italia, but also the Regions, ask for it to be extended by an hour, from 10 pm to 11 pm, precisely in view of the reopening, even for dinner, of the outdoor restaurants. But at the moment the line of prudence seems to prevail in the executive, with the confirmation of the timetable currently in force. In the draft decree circulated yesterday there was no explicit reference.



And today the front of those in favor of an elongation returns to press the executive: in the front row the Regions, with President Massimiliano Fedriga explaining: "There is an interlocutory with the government on the curfew. The Conference of Regions proposes, measures absolutely responsible, the extension of an hour, up to 11 pm, to allow activities, within the limits of the rules, to have a minimum of breath ".



Even the League holds the point and, indeed, the leader Matteo Salvini raises the stakes and seems to threaten a 'no' from his party to the decree if it does not contain a modification on the timetable. Salvini reports that he "wrote to Draghi" and "I hope that a common sense solution will be reached before the Council of Ministers". There is a tense atmosphere in the League and a response is expected from the Prime Minister to the request made by the League secretary via 'sms'.



Precisely on the 'node' of the timetable comes the clarification of the CTS: keeping the limit of the curfew at 22 is not an indication of the Technical-Scientific Committee, which has never been consulted on this specific aspect which, it is emphasized in the Cts, " it has always been a political decision. " " In reality - it is explained - we have never talked about the curfew ".



Also from Forza Italia comes the request to postpone the start of the curfew to 11 pm: "It is a reasonable proposal, which does not involve greater risks from the health point of view and meets the requests of restaurateurs. An extra hour would in fact allow both the double shifts that the necessary distancing ", explains the blue group leader Anna Maria Bernini.



Although the blue minister for regional affairs, Maria Stella Gelmini, shows caution: "I think there must be a gradual approach. There is no party of openings and closures. We must all be against the virus. willingness to relax the measures without allowing the virus to restart.



For Italia viva, the time change "can be functional to avoid gatherings", observes Minister Elena Bonetti. The pentastellato minister Stefano Patuanelli has a different idea, who cuts short: "In the CDM there will be no discussion on the curfew which will remain at 10 pm".



Leu is opposed to a lengthening of the hours, inviting "the right to stop playing on people's skin at most.



FdI goes further and calls for" the abolition of the curfew, rules for safe openings and the restoration of legality. ", explains the group leader Francesco Lollobrigida.



" Yesterday we were informed that the curfew for now remains at 22 and slowly the measures will be relaxed ", however, the president of the Anci and mayor of Bari, Antonio Decaro.
