The fourth wave is less dangerous, but bites faster and the government he cannot let his guard down and is preparing new measures ahead of Wednesday’s Council of Ministers. In view of what now seems a certainty, namely the extension of the Super green pass to all workers, yesterday a Chigi palace technical meetings intertwined.
THE SPRING
The theme ofvaccination obligation for the job is complex especially as regards the private world, even questioning the soccer sports clubs that, counting athletes still not vaccinated, ask the government if they can let the players play No vax or if it is possible to suspend their salary too. Time is running out and a decision, especially in view of a probable surge in cases after the Christmas holidays, will have to be taken tomorrow to come into effect perhaps as early as next month in order to give time to those who are not vaccinated or complete the cycle. with second dose or booster. It is equally certain that on the table of the council of ministers there will be no compulsory vaccination for everyone, from the age of 18 onwards, as requested by many regional presidents. “If not the obligation, at least the super Green pass is introduced for all workplaces and the vaccination obligation is extended to other categories of male and female workers, to those who have the most relations with the public. This would already help ”, says the president of Emilia Romagna Stefano Bonaccini.
The requirement of a reinforced vaccination passport – therefore only for those recovered from Covid or vaccinated, keeping out those who can certify the absence of the virus with the sole result of a negative swab – is currently ready for the employees of the Public Administration who are missing ‘appeal. This is an audience of about 950 thousand workers, given that the obligation has been in force for some time for the police, schools and the world of health. However, the tightening should also concern the private sector on which we continue to think about how to proceed to avoid problems especially in factories. The knot has yet to be solved in view of a solution that Prime Minister Mario Draghi wants as shared as possible, “without reaching tears or divisions”, is explained by those who have had the opportunity to speak with the Prime Minister in the last few hours.
One of the proposals is to provide for a sort of road map for the private sector, in order to introduce the obligation by proceeding by sectors without affecting some production companies which, thanks to the surge in infections, are already in difficulty due to absences. and the scarce attendance. On the other hand, of the 5.5 million Italians who resist the administration of the anti-Covid vaccine, 3 million are in the age group between 30 and 59 years and proceeding with an extension of the obligation for all workers could make significantly raise the injection bar. Inevitably, the pressure on vaccination centers will increase even if General Francesco Figliuolo is optimistic and announces for this month, in the face of a current “potential of 26 million doses”, as many as 15 million inoculations. A higher number than in December just past, in which the number of inoculations carried out was 14.5 million ».
But the problem of extending the Green pass to work remains political. The introduction of the obligation to the entire world of work – without distinction between public and private – in the last council of ministers before Christmas was requested by the PA minister Renato Brunetta. Nothing was done about the doubts raised by Lega and M5S: the first criticism on the introduction of a new squeeze on vaccines, the second, however, skeptical about the choice to proceed only on the world of work, leaving out, for example, unemployed or college students.
It is for this reason that Draghi decided to postpone the matter to the meeting on the 5th, also with the aim of arriving at a decision that could be communicated with more time to those who have not yet vaccinated. But in the parties of the majority the divisions remain and today the parliamentarians of the M5S will discuss them.
