A world summit on health. In Italy. But Rome, the capital, home to excellent facilities like the Spallanzani and two vaccine trials anti-Covidagain, incredibly, it could be cut off from the global game. To launch the G20 della Salute, during the State of the Union address to the European Parliament, was the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen: “We want to show that Europe does not leave states alone in the field of public health : for this, in 2021 I will ask to organize a world summit on the subject in Italy. »Words immediately relaunched by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte (” Happy to host the World Health Summit as the Italian presidency of the G20 in 2021 “) and by the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza. “It is good that Italy is at the center of the challenge of building a new health care capable of protecting the health of all.”

If the playing field has been defined on the European chessboard – Italy will host the maxi-event – in the national context the challenge has just begun. And there are already those who fight to get pole position. Not even 24 hours after von der Leyen’s announcement, the Milan and Bergamo Democrats, Beppe Sala and Giorgio Gori, were already launching the Lombard axis: we are hosting, they said, the world health summit. «Experience, knowledge, research, experimentation, but also volunteering. It is on this basis that the Milan and Bergamo proposal is based, “they wrote in a note that, however, seems to clash with what the Covid emergency has shown: the collapse of Lombard health care, a chain of errors that has multiplied the spread of the virus, just think of the RSA management that the judiciary is now investigating.
Events that the mayors of Bergamo and Milan seem to ignore in the statement made yesterday. And in fact, they almost give the idea of relaunching a model of assistance that, in the face of the pandemic, has collapsed and that today is the subject of judicial investigations: “Europe – say Gori and Sala – needs a unified course, also in the field of health. This requires experience, know-how and solidarity. ”Obviously, the nomination pleases the governor of Lombardy, the Northern League player Attilio Fontana, who would like to add Lodi to the two northern cities that are already on the track.
Rome, on the other hand, it seems, remains to be seen. For now. The news has been circulating on Capitol Hill since yesterday morning, where most of the Grillini councilors are discussing it, waiting for something to move. But Mayor Virginia Raggi has not yet spoken. Trail. Even if her other colleagues, in fact, like Sala and Gori, immediately broke the delay by formally submitting a candidacy.
In the main fields, on the other hand, prominent Roman politicians are already expressing themselves. He hopes that the G20 Health can land in Rome Marianna Madia, former Minister of Public Administrations, now a deputy of the Pd. “Rome cannot always stay on the sidelines, as has unfortunately happened in recent years with this administration.” At this stage, she adds, “it is essential to give capital its proper value and weight, a transition that can also occur with events such as the world health summit. We hope that there will be an expression of interest from the mayor and that above all it will be carried out with determination.
For Antonio Tajani, national vice president of Forza Italia, former president of the European Parliament, today president of the Commission on Constitutional Affairs of the EU, “Rome is not only the capital of the country, it is also one of the most advanced cities from the point of view of Scientific view and Research: think about the anti-Covid vaccine trials being carried out in Pomezia, by a partner company of the University of Oxford, or in Spallanzani. Spallanzani is an international health excellence. In short, the city has everything you need to appear at the health summit announced by von der Leyen.
Even in the national M5S, prominent Roman MPs hope that the summit will find a place in the capital. Gianluca Perilli, group leader of the Movement in the Senate: “Rome has many excellences in health and as a Roman I hope it can host a great event of this kind.”
