Italian government to recruit 60,000 'civic assistants' to snitch on Covid-19 rule-breakers
CHEKA agents with the body of a torture victim, 1920 The Italian government is preparing to recruit unemployed citizens to act as volunteer social-distancing enforcers, who will operate amongst the masses as life returns to a semi-normal state after the Covid-19 lockdown. The government will publish a call this week for 60,000 so-called "civic assistants" to help perform control and assistance tasks - like reporting social distancing infractions or a lack of masks - during its reopening phase, to prevent non-compliance and a new surge in infections, AdnKronos reported. The government will specifically target unemployed people who are availing of social benefits to perform the snooping and snitching on a "voluntary basis." Those who sign up will be demonstrating a "great civic sense" a government note announcing the plan says. The informants will wear a blue bib with the words "civic assistant" written across it and will remind people "with kindness" that sacrifices still need to be made to protect the vulnerable, Minister of Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia said on TG1 news channel. https://www.sott.net/article/435119-...-rule-breakers |
