“The government must explain why it has been silent on the risks of the virus and has faced the emergency with dramatic superficiality.” Matteo Salvini thus closes a long letter to Corriere della Sera in which he accuses the executive of not sharing information on “alarming elements”, and asks that it be referred to Parliament. Accusations returned to the sender by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza, who in response to Gad Lerner at the Festa del Fatto Quotidiano affirms that the document “has never been classified by the government, the confidentiality bond was chosen by the CTS.”
The member of CTS Luca Richeldi makes a partial blame in the act recently declassified by the Scientific Technical Committee. The president of the Italian Society of Pneumology in an interview with Messaggero admits that “perhaps it was a mistake to keep the data confidential. But in February and March it was not known how the situation would develop, clear and unambiguous communication was necessary ”.
For his part, the leader of the League in the letter to Corriere writes that he waited in vain for the answers “about the secret study on the effects of the covid that dates from the first weeks of 2020, while other declassified minutes draw disturbing details about the emergency management “. . In his opinion, the latest declassified documents “reveal a series of errors and relate the furious disputes between the experts and Commissioner Domenico Arcuri, who despite too many delays and blunders was chosen to clearly address the issue of the reopening of schools together to an inappropriate minister like Lucia Azzolina ”.
Salvini also asks: “given that the executive had a confidential study on the effects of the virus, why didn’t he share the information with other institutional interlocutors?” And she adds that the center-right continues to wait for the government to involve them, “as the head of state also expected and the prime minister herself guarantees,” to discuss solutions to the country’s multiple problems.
The government “can no longer remain silent – he writes – we will ask to inform Parliament. Given that the executive had a confidential study on the effects of the virus, why did he not share the information with other institutional interlocutors? Why didn’t you immediately find masks, gowns, and respirators, but instead shipped tons of them to China? Why did you ignore CTS’s suggestions for red zones? Why on February 21 did the premier say “everything is under control”? “Now the priorities are work, the economy, school, the defense of borders,” Salvini concludes, “but there is also a demand for truth and transparency that needs answers.”
Conte and the government are accused of not having “said a word about the secret study.” “Absolute silence. The only exception was Roberto Speranza, who was quick to deny it by speaking of “journalistic misrepresentation,” despite the fact that the news had been confirmed by an executive from his own department. The more time passes, the more disturbing details emerge about the government’s action. “
“The government has never arranged secret information on any act,” says Minister Speranza on the subject, instigated by Gad Lerner at the Festa del Fatto, “It was an election of the CTS but let’s not forget that we were the only ones to publish the minutes of our scientists. “That document, he reiterated, did not contain a secret government plan on the COVID emergency but” an ongoing study on possible and different scenarios, initiated by our scientists in mid-February and completed in March. “
For Richeldi, in good faith “it was considered that these documents would not help the citizens’ understanding, they would only create confusion.” Not having made the red zone in Alzano when indicated by the CTS “I don’t think this has had a great impact on the advance of the epidemic.” The Lombardy data changed significantly every day, “it was imprecise, necessarily given the stressful situation of the health system.” In those hours, “we gave indications based on the positives that were found, but now we know that there were many more, 10-20 times more.” The government, however, “after a few days closed first all of Lombardy, then the whole country. And in my opinion the national blockade helped us to reestablish the situation ”.
