Beaches, how many beach fans in parties. Draghi’s liberalizations falter
The liberalization decree must not pass. This is what the seaside lobby is convinced of, which in the past has already been successful in blocking change. “Tomorrow in the Chamber there is a general discussion on the motions and the majority is looking for a difficult agreementPrime Minister Mario Draghi wants to go straight with a decree but will the parties that support him follow him? “asks Repubblica.
However, “Europe has been asking Italy for years to liberalize the bathing establishment sector through the Bolkestein directivethat is, by publicly bidding on concessions, at the moment (and for decades) practically given away, with rents that for a normal citizen are those of an apartment in the city “, explains Repubblica, according to which” the battle in favor of bathing establishments it is transversal and often it is carried out by parliamentarians in clear conflict of interest, because they deal directly with the subject and at the same time have activities in the sector. Riccardo Zucconi of Fdi, for example, it is the promoter of the super extension, even at the cost of getting Italy fined, given that since December 2020 we have been in a pre-European infringement procedure on the issue of competition. Viareggino, he is the manager of a bar and restaurant in one of the best Art Nouveau buildings in the city of the Carnival, the Gran Caffè Margherita “, writes Repubblica.
But not only. Repubblica continues: “In the Democratic Party the bathing issue is followed by the deputy Umberto Buratti, former mayor of Forte dei Marmi. A few days ago he spoke at a meeting in the Marche organized by the local demos entitled “To overcome the Bolkestein”, or rather “the analysis of viable hypotheses to meet the needs of bathing establishments and those who carry out activities in state-owned areas”; this in light of the sentence of last November of the Council of State, which established that the duration of the concessions must not go beyond the end of 2023 and without any possibility of extension, under penalty of abusive status “, always says Repubblica.
Repubblica also cites other transversal examples: for example in 2019 Matteo Salvini in Brussels “sent the patron of the famous Papeete of Milano Marittima, Massimo Casanova. In Forza Italia we find Massimo Mallegni, former mayor of Pietrasanta (Lucca), now senator”.
