Draghi
“Our situation is slightly but steadily worsening. We want to prevent in order to preserve: we want to be very cautious to avoid risks and to be able to preserve what the Italians have achieved”. Prime Minister Mario Draghi expresses himself in this way, on the covid epidemic in Italy, after the Council of Ministers which today launched the Super green pass, in force in Italy since 6 December. “We have resumed our social life and interactions, we have resumed being normal: we want to keep this normality, this is the spirit of the measures”, he says.
“The Italian situation today is under control, we are in one of the best situations in Europe thanks essentially to the vaccination campaign which was a remarkable success. I want to thank the Italians who have joined the campaign and those who are joining the third dose”, says Draghi , who received the third dose: “I did it”.
“What seemed to be differences in position before the CDM and then during the CDM have disappeared, in fact the decision was made unanimously”, says Draghi referring to the launch of the Super green pass. “It is very important, in order to mend this contrast between those who get vaccinated and those who do not, that the government is compact, without giving up. The lack of compactness is then used as an excuse for evasion from the obligation, for the opposition, for the tension. We must not underestimate or criminalize the diversity of views and behaviors, we must try to convince. For this reconciliation to happen is the success of this initiative. Do you remember last year’s Christmas? was it before the pandemic? “asks Draghi.
