“Extend the red zone to the whole Pa.Tre.Ve.? A disproportionate decision that risks blocking an important part of the country's economy. These 3 provinces, in fact, generate 5 percent of GDP and national employment and 6 percent of all goods exported from our country. Unlike what is happening in some provinces of Lombardy, there is no health emergency here, the situation remains serious and difficult, but completely under control. "
To say it is the coordinator of the CGIA Studies Office Paolo Zabeo after hearing the news that the government has decided to extend the red zone to the provinces of Padua, Treviso and Venice until April 3.
Equally worried is the CGIA secretary, Renato Mason:
"It seems to understand that this choice made by the Executive has not been agreed either with the President of the Veneto Region, or with the Mayors of the provincial capitals who, surely, would have pointed out that there is no health emergency. We hope that in a few days the government will get to know and change and lighten the decisions made during the night ".
From the CGIA, they make it known that the announcement made in recent days by the government to bring the decree to counteract the negative effects of coronavirus up to € 7,5 billion is to be welcomed positively, even if the interventions that will be put in place are aimed only at containing the crisis, while nothing has been foreseen to "attack" the economic recession that is just around the corner. CGIA Secretary Renato Mason reiterates:
"If on the one hand the manufacturing world is clamoring for an important expansionary move capable of relaunching consumption and internal demand, on the other hand the Government faces the crisis with containment measures that are certainly important, even if they should be integrated with a important medium-long term investment plan. For this reason we invite the Executive to unlock the large public works already financed or stopped by excessive bureaucracy, borrowing the success that the Genoa method is having. Without forgetting that it is necessary that our Public Administration returns to pay the commercial debts accrued with its suppliers ".
