among the decrees in the “covid field” ratified also that on the cessation of the state of emergency
The work resumed in the afternoon with the examination of Decree extending extraordinary interventions in the economic field in support of the emergency caused by Covid. The part of the social protections – layoffs, mobility, unemployment – was among the most important to be addressed during the pandemic, underlined the Secretary of State Lonfernini. It is true that we are experiencing a favorable post-pandemic period, from an economic point of view, but out of prudence it was decided to keep these attentions. Fast decree approved. Still in the Covid area, the Decree-Law number 55, which resulted in the cessation of the state of emergency. Among the interventions that of Nicola Renzi, RF. “We must understand what the lesser evil is in order to face the challenges, those of Covid, which have not yet been resolved”. And then the invitation to the government to take stock, during the summer, on the provisions to be put in place, if any, starting in the autumn.
Amendments presented by both the Government and the RF. One of these involves thethe mask is mandatory indoors. We are still in an emergency phase that we cannot underestimate, he explained Katia Savoretti; we can’t want the guard. Contrary Mirko Dolcini, DML; “Personal position”. I have so many doubts, I declared. Mentioned the cases of pediatric hepatitis, to which “it is not possible to give a plausible explanation”; among the various hypotheses – he explained – also that of restrictions relating to the low exposure of the smallest to common viruses which would have caused a lowering of the immune defenses. If we do not have scientific certainties “that the cure is better than the disease” I would avoid the obligation to wear masks indoors, she explained.
One thing is certain: the virus is still present between us, he declared Miriam Farinelli, RF. In the face of a small sacrifice – wearing a mask indoors – we can regain possession of our life of the past. In his opinion, it is not yet time to let his guard down. Concern of Giuseppe Maria Morganti, Libera, on pediatric hepatitis; monitoring was requested from the San Marino health authorities. Sara Conti specified that in the RF amendments the obligation of the mask is foreseen only in certain situations, such as closed places where it is not possible to maintain the distance or privilege of ventilation; you still need to make a “little effort”. Finally, the reply of the Secretary of State Ciavatta; in the face of covid – he explained – mortality is not the only criterion that we take into consideration for any measures, including the occupation of health facilities. Then – numbers in hand – the Government’s decision to confirm the option of the mask. There is no doubt that after 1 April there was an increase in infections – he added -; but there is also outside the border, where the use of a mask is still mandatory. If we were to consider the hypothesis of keeping the mask as long as there is circulation, perhaps always keep it. The guard is always different, he then added, and will intervene if necessary. Amendments rejected.
After definitive ratification of the decree we moved on to the simplification of the structure of the Public Function Department, also containing provisions regarding the Central Liaison Office and administrative procedures and activities. Very technical issues. Focus, among other things, in the intervention of Secretary Tonnini, on data protection in the wider public sector, with specific synergies. The objectives include the simplification and regulation of temporary employment for non-teaching staff in schools, the exercise of access to documents relating to building permits, the management of contracts for the supply and administration of goods and services. , and so on.
There are also rules relating to the recruitment of Department Directors at the ISS. Strong opposition to the decree by RF; there are positive things, declared Nicola Renzi, but “we cannot continue to treat the Public Administration like this”. There is an overabundance of circulars arriving daily, he said; also speaking of inorganic amalgamations. We do not doubt there is a good will to affect the PA – he added -; but we are witnessing clumsy attempts, which instead of creating order create disorder. Rationalization interventions; but in the opinion of Guerrino Zanotti, Free, there must be some critical issues, and the timing is asked. The creation of coordinated texts was then urged. Rossano Fabbri, Mixed Group, has asked to respect the operations of the Public Finance Control Commission, given the increase to 100,000 euros of the expenditure threshold beyond which its monitoring intervenes. Criticism also from Eva Guidi, Free: “privacy is not the form of informed consent to which the signature is placed casually; but it is a question of protecting people’s data “.
On the other hand, the opinion of Manuel Ciavatta, PDCS; who explained the rationale of the intervention. Unfortunately, these kinds of interventions take place at every Council session, he said Andrea Zafferani, RF. He called these relationships “a good bureaucratic exercise”. Interventions in his opinion uncoordinated, without a vision. An in-depth discussion on these issues is also required in the specific Commission. Then the reply from Tonnini’s Secretary, who spoke of a sort of progressive and continuous reform of the Public Administration. The perspective is that of a redistribution of functions to eliminate possible overlaps and allow greater synergies between public offices. Another common thread is to dare greater organizational autonomy to managers, who find themselves managing more complex offices. Rejected the amendments presented up to now by the Oppositions. The exam will resume in the morning session tomorrow
