Trino és una petita població d’uns 7000 habitants situada a la província de Vercelli, a la regió del Piemont (nord-oest d’Itàlia). Aquest poble ha aparegut a tota la premsa italiana perquè l’ajuntament ha aprovat recentment una ordenança que prohibeix qualsevol peça que cobreixi completament el rostre en espais públics. L’ordenança afecta qualsevol peça que impedeixi reconèixer facialment una persona, com ara el burca, el niqab, les màscares integrals, els passamuntanyes o els cascos amb visera tancada.

Expliquen diversos mitjans, com el Prima Vercelli, que l’objectiu és millorar la seguretat, garantir l’ordre públic i facilitar la identificació de les persones en llocs com carrers, places o mercat.

Multes de fins a 300€ i retirada de la roba

Les multes per incomplir la norma poden arribar fins als 300 euros, i es preveu també la retirada immediata de l’element que tapi la cara. L’alcalde, Daniele Pane, ha afirmat que es tracta d’una mesura preventiva i que no té res a veure amb cap religió en particular. El criteri utilitzat per justificar la norma és únicament el de la visibilitat facial.

Segons el text oficial, l’objectiu de la mesura és garantir la seguretat urbana, l’ordre públic i “la convivència cívica basada en la confiança mútua”. L’alcalde argumenta que, en un context internacional marcat per tensions socials i riscos de radicalització, la capacitat de reconèixer els rostres a l’espai públic és essencial per mantenir un entorn segur.

Tot i que la normativa s’ha aprovat per «motius de seguretat», també fa referència a la defensa dels valors constitucionals de llibertat, igualtat i dignitat, amb una menció explícita al respecte dels drets de les dones.

Valors de llibertad per a les dones

Tal com ha informat el diari La Voce del Canavese, la mesura ha estat ben rebuda per la població i no ha generat reaccions públiques de rebuig. L’alcalde Daniele Pane forma part d’una llista local que s’inclou dins una coalició de centre-dreta. A les eleccions de 2023 va guanyar amb el 73% dels vots.

Fonts municipals han assenyalat que aquesta decisió segueix el model d’altres municipis italians que han impulsat regulacions similars emparant-se en l’article 85 del Text Únic de les Lleis de Seguretat Pública. Tot i que a escala estatal Itàlia no disposa d’una legislació específica que prohibeixi el vel islàmic integral, diverses sentències judicials han avalat mesures locals quan es justifiquen per motius de seguretat.
