the city council decided it. Until now, the ZTL permit was only valid for nursery schools, nursery schools (kindergartens) and primary schools. Motion for honorary citizenship for Assange rejected
Parents will be able to accompany their children to school by car within the ZTL even if they are not residents, until the end of eighth grade. Until now, the permit was only valid for nursery schools, nursery schools (kindergartens) and primary schools.
A second invites the Municipality “to provide for the preparation of a system on the basis of which, in the event of repeated violations by holders of an access permit in the ZTL who are entitled to access it and who for some reason have not renewed the permit, unaware in good faith of the non-renewal, the payment of a single reduced sanction is foreseen which exhausts the similar infractions within the ‘educational function’ of the sanction”.
In both cases, within the Democratic Party, there were differences of views on the ‘protection’ of the ZTL which led the councilors to vote differently.
However, the M5S motion calling for the granting of honorary citizenship to Julian Assange, Australian journalist and founder of Wikileaks, was rejected. 10 in favor, 12 against, 4 not voting. Assange, detained in the Belmarsh maximum security prison in London since 2019, in a state of isolation and without being able to see the light of day, is accused of having disseminated documents and confidential information on war crimes committed by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan and, for this reason, he is awaiting final judgment on extradition to America.
