Covid and discos, the appeal of discos on Change.org: “We are not daughters of a Lesser God”

“It is in all the newspapers today that tomorrow evening the government will meet to talk about the reopening of the discos. Yet the meeting will take place alone because to date none of the acronyms representing the category of our companies have been officially convened”. Giancarlo Bornigia, a member of Piper, a historic nightclub in the capital, writes it on change.org, who says: “Today I ask you for a further effort to share the request for subscription to the petition qui social with the aim of making it go viral. Thanks to your support we will be able to assert the rights of hundreds of thousands of people who, like me, have not worked since 1 March 2020 “. “We are not children of a lesser God and we play an economic and social role worthy of respect within society”, reads the petition. The petition posted on the platform in the previous rounds reads: “We are the only ones left who cannot resume work. Work is an inviolable right. We are discos, we are dance halls, we are places of entertainment and entertainment. We are as if we did not exist for them. Yes, their politicians, those of any side regardless of political ideology. In these days it has been read in the newspapers that discos should reopen without dancing, perhaps serving a drink or a hot meal. I ask but have these people ever come to a club? For example, the Piper Club, a well-known club in the capital, is 4 floors below ground and its customers usually go there to dance or listen to a good concert. to have a drink or dinner, also because it should require specific health authorizations “. “We – he continues – what we can do is to reopen premises safely, guaranteeing tracking at the entrance even with the sale of electronic tickets. We can guarantee the sanitation of our premises before each event, and we can guarantee that they enter inside only people who have the so-called Green Pass. We can create a safe place, in short, where it is possible to check that everyone respects the rules. Those rules that otherwise outside the premises, in the open spaces, would not be possible to verify. However, they ask to reopen with the abstruse rules of last year! That is with the spacing on the track and the use of the mask. The latter must certainly be used by professionals to guarantee their safety and that of their colleagues. the public, because people come to a club to socialize, to look at each other, to dance and have fun “. “We do not want to reopen by force, and we do not force anyone to come to one of our premises. But we ask for respect and above all justice. We are not children of a lesser God and we play an economic and social role worthy of respect within society. definitive – he concludes – our premises represent topical places to allow young people and not only to realize their rights of socialization, integration and cultural growth “.
