Calm and cold-blooded, the premier’s motto even in the most dramatic hours of recent history. At 11 am Conte will connect by videoconference from Palazzo Chigi with industrial associations and unions to discuss how to implement safety protocols in factories. There will be ministers Gualtieri, Speranza, Catalfo and Patuanelli and the most divisive dossiers are public transport and factories still open. “We listened to the territories – the line that the Minister of Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, agreed with the head of the executive – If the governors want to close other factories, as long as they have no references with the health and agri-food supply chains, the government will not say no, but they will have to take on their responsibilities.
