Providing another lockdown, albeit localized, for movement between regions means definitively killing the national economy.

Passing another lockdown means annihilating domestic air travel.

We must not forget the birth of the newco Alitalia and the investment made by the government through the provision of three billion euros.

With the prohibition of travel between the regions identified by the Ministry of Health, the new company Alitalia will not be able to fly fully loaded and will not be able to comply with the objectives set out in the Business Plan.

But it is not only the air transport system that suffers a possible lockdown between regions. I refer to the reception system, the public transport system and collective transport (taxi and NCC) already hit hard.

Wouldn't strengthening the health and transport monitoring tools be more appropriate, first of all protecting the health of users and workers?

Why dump the responsibilities to the Regions to cover the government's default of seven months?

Why shut ourselves up at home and not think instead of measures more consistent with Italian production continuity?
