July 14, 2021 Doing immediately as France did "is definitely a right choice. We should do it in Italy too, don't ask me why we haven't left yet, I told Speranza so many times". The Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri said this to the

, referring to Emmanuel Macron's decision on the compulsory Green pass to go on trains and planes, to restaurants, to events with many people. For Sileri it is necessary to apply the Green pass "seriously", no quarantine for those who have received two doses, to review the parameters within a week or two. "Let's think of discos - was his reflection - if we allowed the clubs to open for customers with the Green pass, we would have the race of those between 18 and 40 years to get vaccinated". Because "the Green pass today is a means of not going back when the infections are higher".

On this line also some Regions, categories and political forces. In fact, in these hours many are following up on the opinion of the Commissioner for the Emergency,

, even if the alternative of the buffer should still be provided to respect the constitutional balances. Close to this line are several parliamentarians of the Democratic Party and some governors, while the leader of the opposition,

and a "chilling idea".

It is the same position as

. The categories are also divided: Fipe-Confcommercio fears heavy penalties for restaurateurs but for Federalberghi it would be a "sacrosanct" measure. 

The arguments are intertwined with an overall assessment that the government will make on other expiring measures, such as the state of emergency which would end at the end of July but could be extended. Despite the debate and various hypotheses, no decisions are expected in the next few hours, but

in the next few

- and it is unlikely that a decision can be made before the next monitoring on Friday, in light of the data on vaccines and infections. Which could hold surprises. "Already in 4 or 5 days, if we observe peaks in the cities where there have been risky behaviors, we will see if with the celebrations for the victory at the Europeans we have risked too much", explains Sergio Abrignani, member of the CTS, while

, in fact, in addition to the privacy problems that would arise and which would then be examined by the Guarantor. But with the debate already underway on the possible update of the parameters for the assignment of colors to the regions, which with the growth of contagion risk ending up in yellow, to push the measure is the need to achieve immunity as soon as possible. flock and

. Another open question is that of alignment with Europe on the certificate, which in our country is received two weeks after the first vaccination but in the EU it is valid only after the second dose. In Italy, the Green pass is currently mandatory to access sporting and cultural events, as well as banquets and ceremonies but - if we were to align with the measures envisaged in France - it could also be necessary to enter places that welcome more than 50 people, for access to bars, restaurants, shopping centers and means of transport over long distances.   

Among the first to be in favor of these last hypotheses are the governor of Liguria, Giovanni Toti, and the councilor for Health of Lazio, Alessio D'Amato, for whom "it would be useful for the government to decide how it should be used. the green certificate, possibly with complete vaccination, before adopting restrictive measures ": both ask for an

, given the drop in pressure on health facilities. The Campania president, Vincenzo De Luca, on the other hand, specifies: "We did the Green pass four months ago. We issue our vaccination card after the second dose".

The Lombard governor, Attilio Fontana, is more tepid, convinced that this type of measure "besides not being possible in Italy for privacy, in Lombardy it is not necessary". The positions are also different among parliamentarians. If some members of the Democratic Party ask to "extend the Green pass to all places of sociality", for the M5s deputies in the Social Affairs Commission the hypothesis is "premature and raises questions for those who have to forcefully resort to the swab". The leader of Italia Viva, Matteo Renzi, on the other hand, says he is "due to the obligation to vaccinate health and school personnel".
