The Italian Government will force all workers – both in the public and the private sectors – to have a ‘Green Pass’ proving that they have either been vaccinated, tested or recently recovered from Covid. Those who don’t comply could have their pay stopped after five days and businesses that don’t check passes will be heavily punished. BBC News has the story.
The measure, due to come into force on October 15th, aims to boost vaccinations in a country that has been badly hit by the virus.
Green Pass certificates for Covid, provided both digitally and on paper, are already required to access Italian train stations, cinemas, restaurants, gyms and swimming pools.
School staff are also required to show a pass and some teachers have reportedly been turned away from work.
On Thursday, the Italian Government approved a new law to extend the requirements to all workplaces and employees across all sectors, including the self-employed.
Businesses and staff could face fines of up to €1,500 (£1,280) if people are found to be working without a valid Green Pass.
Announcing the decision, Health Minister Roberto Speranza said the new measures would improve safety and “make our vaccination campaign even stronger”.
“The implementation of a pass such as the one we are bringing into force with this decree will, we are certain, help us push forward this vaccination campaign,” he said.
Despite a vocal anti-vaccination minority, Italians have broadly backed the Government’s vaccination campaign.
Nearly 65% of Italians have now been fully vaccinated, but infections have been rising, driven by the Delta variant.
We followed Italy’s lead on locking down. It’s not inconceivable that we could do the same on Covid passes.
The BBC News report is worth reading in full.

Ciao Bella
I’m in Italy at the moment. I have a paper certificate of antibodies no jab, my husband has a paper certificate for 2 jabs. So far we haven’t had to use them as we have eaten outside in restaurants. We have been asking the owners if we were to need to eat inside would they accept these papers, most have said yes but some have said no. Both the customer and the restauranter face fines if they are seen to have no green pass.
I’m completely against passes of any kind btw, but at least in Italy natural antibodies are recognised as a thing!
Fascism’s coming home!
All the signs for this was there. They mentioned multiple times but this site pretends when they don’t admit it directly then it cannot be true.
This thinking is obsolete. Between the lines are all the details we need.
CLEARLY there is an agreed upon plan between countries to act in the same way. Whether planned before or not I’ll let you guess.
So according to this story if correct, the Italian Government is as let us not forget a supposedly democratic operation, and a part of the EU. The Italian Government is going to deny, men and women the right to earn a wage in order to feed, home, and clothe their children, and if these Men and Women do not take this very unreliable, but still experimental product, the Italian Government will starve them.
The fact that if this is true, and is just another small news story is truly, truly shocking. Has the EU or other Democratic governments spoken out against what the Italian Government is doing to its own people?If not one can only conclude that the unvaccinated are as one politician in Italy said, are nothing better than sewer rats, and Europe condones this evil act.
Another country bought. By whom? I think most people know. Why would anyone make or want a passport for a vaccine which is a massive failure. The funny thing we all know what is going on but are powerless to do much about it.
Note to Boris Johnson: just because Italy has done something doesn’t mean you have to do it.
Can someone answer this question as it appears brain dead journalists will not ask the question,
An unvaccinated person returning from abroad must take a test prior to travel to the UK, they then must isolate for up to 10 days. However it is known the unvaccinated is free of Covid at the time of travel.
The vaccinate person even though they can still catch and transmit the virus does not have to take the test prior to travel and in most cases does not have to isolate.
Is it not logical then that the Vaccinated person, is more of a threat of spreading the virus than the unvaccinated, as apart from the certificate to qualify them as an obedient serf, it provides less confidence with regards to their health status than the unvaccinated who has been through tests.
Surely this is absolute conclusive evidence that this vaccine passport is nothing about health and everything about segregation and control
This is circumstantial evidence for the theory that the WHO is conducting an eradicate disease with non-sterilizing vaccine campaign: It is conjectured that vaccination reduces transmission somewhat. Hence, the more people are vaccinated, the more transmission gets reduced. Hence, it’s not absolutely impossible that eradication of Sars-CoV2 will succeed at about the time eradication of polio with a non-sterilzing vaccine has succeeded: In 50, 100, 150 or 200 years, God only knows and who’d want to know that, anyway.
Just keep on vaxxing! The magic must work some day!
Thank you RW

Do you want the Government to bring in Plan B? Vaccine passports, mandatory masks, working from home etc? Or even worse the secret option Plan C – lockdown?
If not join us with your feet on the street and vote for PLAN FREE
Essentially – clear judgment is very simple :
Any person/body backing this sort of thing is – at first or second hand – promoting evil. We have seen enough in history to know that without contradiction.
No doubt the Mafia are watching. I know from “friends in Italy” that they’re one step ahead in being able to produce fakes.
Will be a goldmine across the world 10% – 20% will be in the market for one.
By the way, hello 77th “Brigade”. Lol.
I am only, of course joking -but, it’s well known that the existing bio/passport is easy to fake.
Of course – Italy does have some history with this sort of fascism. Il Duce was also a prick.
And, unlike our Supreme Leader, he had some balls attached.
Italy is no longer a sovreign country it is ran from the EU Draghi is an EU mandarin
I swear that governments around the world are competing to outdo each other in seeing what they can get away with before people go ape shit. And the answer is: alot.
Fear is the key especially where sheep are concerned. No different from Goebbels – although they had to give radios away – this lot just snap their fingers at the BBC.
Having dithered for a while between the perfect storm and the conspiracy theory explanations for all this lunacy, the simultaneous ramping up of mandates in various places like the US, Aus, Italy makes it hard to deny that there is at least some global coordinating effort taking place.
They’re not just copying each other.
All very predictable from the moment Mario Draghi was “chosen” to head a national unity government earlier this year.
Is this the Italian equivalent of holding Australia’s beer? Western nations are falling over themselves to be the most authoriarian as possible on COVID.
Does ‘The West’ even exist at this point, given most Western nations (aside from a few or sub-states/regions within them who are resisting) now act like Communist/fascist dictatorships?
Mussolini would be proud!
Toby – if this sort of thing is a ‘cock’up’, then its thelargest, most-co-ordinated one of all time!
What seems to be the motive for governments to increase pressure to get injected is the need for them to remove as much as possible any control group which can be used in any legal action against them.
Plus the ‘go slow’ ( relative in this crazy rush) on Novavax and Valneva ‘vaccines’ is the desire to fulfill contractual obligation to Pfizer, which may also involve the exclusion of more conventional approaches in promotion of the mRNA technique which is going to be rolled out for all and every new treatment for all diseases.
So basically cover arse and take more bribes. Opportunistically of course use it all to cement the future bio-security fascist state.
I think that you are spot on in your analysis. I also think that the fact that Vanguard and Blackrock have major shareholdings in Pfizer has something to do with it.
Just Vanguard and Blackrock/iShares?
With respect, you are barking up the wrong tree. Google
Passive ETF/index replication
True dat
Don’t understand your comment. Vanguard and Blackrock run the biggest passive ETF funds.
Surely the Italian people are not going to stand for this? It is outright tyranny.
Having lived and worked in Italy I can see the fake green pass industry licking their lips at this.There will almost certainly be a lot of takers!
Have you heard of face recognition cameras? These will eventually be linked to legit ‘health passes’.
And your bank card. No valid vaxx pass, no access to your money. Well, yes, you can laugh now, but did you think a year ago people would still be wearing face masks in September 2021?
If the Italians want a civil war, no-one’s stopping them. But they seem to have been a spineless lot so far.
I Think you’re correct buy, sadly, from what I’ve seen so far I can’t see us being different.
This is quite stunning however for most of us here not surprising. It is the plan, has been the plan and will be the plan. Total global digital control, controlling every aspect of life.
Covid-19 is just the beginning of course and countries are moving at different speeds, depending on vaccine uptake, resistance and propaganda uptake.
And as we know the Globalist leaders will not stop now, they want to reduce population in number and in spirit.
Never surrender, once we do its over forever.
They won’t stop and the sooner that people realise that the better. It will come down to control of everyday spending (no more fatty food for you this week, no more alcohol, definitely no more tobacco products). And for controlling travel (no more petrol for you this week, no more flying -you have used up your carbon quota). There are none so blind as those who cannot see! It never was about a virus.
That’s what I’ve been saying since March 2020. That this was not about a ‘virus’ but control of the people, at the same time relieving them of their money, not least by having to fork out for expensive PCR tests run by companies owned by the likes of Faisal of Halifax (RT Diagnostics) who give backhanders to those who give them permission to operate their scams.
Still, millions are still scared witless about this invisible virus, and have rushed to the ‘vaccines’ as their saviour, and they simply can’t bear to think that they have been conned. No, it can’t be…. the NHS…. hero nurses… must.. bang.. on… saucepan… it’s all the fault of the unvaccinated!
Of course this has all been arranged. Even the Queen was taking the piss in Cornwall at the G7 meeting, no face mask for her!
The ‘Wisdom of Italy’ hardly has good reviews, with their incontinent panics bearing no fruit.
“Italy has lousy government” shocker!
Is “Super” Mario still involved there I wonder?
Fascism has been revived then repackaged.
For f____’s sake – ALL workers????
Just take the jab! All will go back to normal if you do! Yet the jabbed are suffering moral and psychic torment even if no physical side effects. They buy a lie to get only further slavery.
All those Brits who got the jabs to go abroad to be be told they can’t! There must be thousands who have properties abroad that are just rotting away, or, by now, probably occupied by squatters. And Rishi just pays £400,000 for a new swimming pool in his back yard…
Mussolini would be proud.
…
Brilliant!
Italy are on the CCP’s Belt and Road ‘Initiative’. But I’m sure that’s purely a coincidence ….
https://thediplomat.com/2021/03/the-belt-and-road-in-italy-2-years-later/
In Italy a large part of the economy is ‘black’. This will only make it larger.
I thought Mandatory still requires consent and is not underpinned by Law?That’s why fines are never processed and exemptions are readily available.Either way they can fuck off!
Toby Young is up to his neck with the Establishment is he not?This site maybe be a honey trap a barometer to monitor dissent.
Come and get me and see what happens!!!!
Do you keep an axe under your bed?
He’ll need at least an L7A2 GPMG.
But he’s not getting mine.
Wow. For the first time since March 2020, I am genuinely shocked by a news item.
I didn’t expect they would move this far this quickly.
I think this is the first country in the world to go this far. I wonder if it is a coincidence that it is also the first country that instituted national lockdowns and the first country to copy the initial China approach.
Is it a coincidence they are front runners on this too?
Yup, it’s a pretty dark day, one of the darkest yet. I’ve got lots of friends and family there. Most are jabbed covidians, but one is an employer and fervently anti vaxx coercion (funnily enough she was married to a pharma exec…). God knows what she’ll do. She’s not vaxxed herself and I can’t see her forcing her staff to get it. Maybe they will just have to take tests all the time, or pay for them and pretend they are negative. I don’t know what the testing process is there, whether they have a similar system to here where you can buy LFTs to take at home and post the results online but there’s no check you’ve actually done the test properly.
The staggering thing is that in just 18 months society has accepted that in order to participate in society you must prove your health status. I’m not sure that, aside from slavery, this isn’t the most totalitarian thing humanity has ever dreamt up.
Basically, if you don’t prove you don’t have covid (by a very arbitrary technocratically defined standard) you can rot.
Wow.
I wonder if it’s also a coincidence that they have a high number of Chinese employed and providing work in the country?
China has bought up a good portion of the UK’s education system.
I think Cyprus beat them to that achievement. In Cyprus you can’t even shop for food without test/vaccination proof.
Yes, from an island paradise to a police state in less than two years. Even the politicians there admitted that mandated wearing of masks outside was nothing to do with public health.
If the experience of the lady from Lithuania had been reported in the MSM following grossly draconian government diktats, I think that might have shocked lots of people east to the Baltic States too…
It’s just a party of confusion and errors. There’s no conspiracy.
