League leader Matteo Salvini said
Thursday that he is against talk of imposing a new national
lockdown over Easter to prevent COVID-19 contagion.
"I refuse to contemplate more weeks and more months of fear or
even closure," Salvini told reporters outside the Senate.
"If there are local situations of risk, you intervene at the
local level.
"But it does not seem respectful to the Italian people to talk
of having Easter at home in lockdown today.
"Good sense is needed.
"All of Italy's mayors, of all political colours, are calling
for some closed economic, social and business activities that do
not entail risks to be reopened".
