Chef Colonna: “Midnight closures? They give us an hour of air like prisoners”

“I do not agree with the closing of restaurants at midnight, a decision that does not satisfy me. They give us an hour of air like prisoners. Of course, midnight is better than 10 pm. But in my opinion it is only palliatives. To keep us good. and perhaps to make us hope for a future that I do not see on the horizon “. This is what chef Antonello Colonna told Adnkronos. “It has been more than a year – he recalled – that we have felt threatened, forced not to be able to practice our profession, then just go out to see what is on the streets and on public transport. ‘Let’s free ourselves … everyone’, this is my motto, but respecting the rules. Unfortunately not everyone does it and the state does not enforce them “. “There are only two almost exact sciences, that of economics and that of health – continued Colonna – but they never interface with each other. We also see it on TV, from Fazio to ‘Carta Bianca’. They force us to become illegal immigrants. , not to respect rules, because for example in the dpcm there is no clarity, no information “. “Perhaps the government should have taken other decisions, to intervene courageously and concretely – added Antonello Colonna – We have been among the most attacked categories. that on public land. We are the sector that governs this country because we are a Republic founded on food, not on work “. And he intended to find staff for his 4 restaurants (in Milan, Como, Termini Station and Rome in the Labico area), he continued: “I agree with what many say, citizenship income is destroying work , our local resources are lacking, it is another damage they have done to the category “. “And then it is not true, as I heard on TV, that we do not pay our workers, we have national contracts to respect and I remember that our sector is one of the safest jobs – he stressed again – There has never been news of a dead chef or waiter in a kitchen? I think, unfortunately, that what many young people lack today is resourcefulness “.
