“Less services for San Marino tobacconists”
A few hours after the press conference of the State Congress in which the government traces the successes of foreign policy and celebrates the approval of the law on companies (a “clockwork” measure that will come on in ninety days), the tobacconist’s grain bursts. Dumbledore the government – better to avoid the quarrels in the general oblivion broken only by a service on state TV – silent the trade associations and consumers. The issue has been known for weeks and it seems that broad assurances have been given by the executive of its prompt resolution. But obviously this is not the case. It is difficult to understand the extent of the decision which will inevitably result in the flight outside the territory to take advantage of services no longer available in San Marino. Everything happens, ironically, San Marino firmly confirms its commitment to sanctions against Russia by following Italy which, for its part, detaches our tobacconists from a circuit of services of which our country was a part. If these are excellent relationships, it would be funny. We recall the outrage from the current government on the license plate issue, resolved only on merit a few months ago and not for bilateral relations between Italy and San Marino. Easy owes yet another question to which the government always responds with sufficiency and in many cases arrogance. We would like to know if what happened will also have repercussions on the San Marino Post Office and if this body – at the center of controversy even in recent months – has a future in terms of operations and services rendered to the community. We expect clarity and transparency from the government to understand what happened, if it could have been avoided and where does the decision to stop providing services to San Marino from some Italian companies come from. Stopping a business that makes money is not exactly normal especially in the current times. An answer should be necessary even if sweet. It is too simple to glorify modest results and to put problems under the carpet in the general silence of the majority, now turned on automatically in December 2024. Citizens call, question themselves and a large part of the political class, apart from the complaints, proclamations and the social photos, he stopped talking and interacting with the population. Even those who – one legislature ago – went to the streets, flooded social networks with insults and used chats to inveigh, even in person, against members of the government, have sewn their mouths. Silence is golden even if they are cut off without having services at the tobacconists, bars and post offices of our Republic.
