Renzi proposes reopening bookstores: we need to feed the soul as well

Reopening bookstores: this is the proposal of former Prime Minister and Italia Viva senator Matteo Renzi, launched today in the Senate during his speech. Addressing Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte directly, Renzi expressed his party’s willingness to guarantee the necessary support (“we are there, Mr. President”), and predicted (although it is not known on what basis) that the emergency will be a long one: “the Covid we will carry it around for at least two years, until we have a way not only to experiment with the vaccine and test it, but also to see its effects. It’s clear that we, if we have two years ahead of us, cannot stay indoors for that long; we cannot keep Italians idle for two years without working. Covid is an emergency that for the next two years will be there.”

As for the proposal to reopen bookstores, Renzi asked Conte for “the utmost attention on schooling so that children are evaluated before the end of the year,” and for that reason he wanted to ask for “some symbolic gesture such as, for example, with all the trappings of security, that of reopening bookstores, because you have to feed the soul as well. Just as you keep newsstands open, you have to reopen bookstores.”
