ROME “I take full responsibility”. At nine at night, when Giuseppe Conte answers the phone from Palazzo Chigi, it’s all over. the sensational step back from Eugenio Gaudio, the fight that tears the majority apart and the bombardment of the right wing by the chain of gaffes, torpedoes and retreats on the Health Commissioner in Calabria. The opening words of the prime minister, who admits the “mistakes” and hopes to find “the right person” as soon as possible, are clear: “I take full responsibility.” He repeats it once, twice, five times, because it is clear that he urgently needs to rally the majority: “No cracks have been opened for a simple reason. It was a shared process with all the ministers involved.
Conte does not want to talk about the confrontation between the Democratic Party and the 5 Stars in the Month and in the other dossiers: «Very strong tensions? I would not say … There is the right concern and great regret for not having yet found the optimal solution for the Calabrian community. The “high-caliber professional” commissioner has yet to be found, but Conte promises an “immediate turning point”, who has the first and last name of Gino Strada. The founder of Emergency will not take Gaudio’s place as curator: “In the many talks in recent days he has never stated that he is interested in this profile and I have never proposed it, considering that he was not interested in moving to Calabria to settle the abyss of counts “.
But from today on, Strada will be there to lend a hand on the emergency front: “The news is that after the confrontation in Civil Protection with Boccia and Borrelli we have signed an agreement by virtue of which, as I wish, Emergency will be operational as of tomorrow (today, ed) for the emergency in Calabria with field hospitals and will collaborate in the creation of Covid hotels. “To calm the very strong tensions that it has brought out to On the surface of the Calabria case, the prime minister assumes the weight of the fool who made the government lose face: “I take full responsibility. Not only because of the fact that Gaudio’s appointment was unsuccessful, but also because of the previous appointments” .
From Cotticelli, who without his knowledge had to draw up the plan for the re-entry of the financial abyss and who, admits Conte, “turned out to be in trouble in that role and in fact I regret that he came out so late.” Apologies also come late, with the helmsman struggling to steer the Giallorossi caravel into the storm. “And I’m sorry – Conte continues – also for not having resolved by Calabrian health care with the second appointment, that of Zuccatelli ». The man chosen by Roberto Speranza was forced to resign due to the blunder of the masks that “they do not serve a c …”, and here also Conte admits the slip: “I handle many files, I do not have the possibility of carrying out detailed controls, but it is clear that the responsibilities can only fall mainly on me, if they involve the government “Are relations with the Minister of Health minimal?” Absolutely not. The decision-making process was developed in full confrontation with all the ministers directly involved ”. As if to say that he did not choose alone. And since Speranza would have liked to stay with Zuccatelli, Conte confirms that the person is of “absolute competence.” But then that shameful video appeared, with those “inappropriate statements that have opened a wound with the Calabrian community.” A wound that the premier wanted to heal with Gaudio’s “high profile” (“He hit me, I didn’t know he was from Calabria”), but later it turned out that his wife does not want to move to Catanzaro. Is this just the reason for the step backwards? Or have suspicions weighed on the Sapienza contest in which Conte wanted to participate with the rector Gaudio? “I can keep suspicions away, but fools are hard to keep away. I never had relations with the rector Gaudio as a candidate ».
And Arcuri, another Calabrian, has something to do with it? «No, Gaudio is a name that stands up by itself. Let’s not fantasize. Wasn’t it because of the investigation of the rigged competitions or the vehement protests of the 5 Stars? “As for family problems -conte simply responds- the rector informed me of them in a transparent way, hoping to overcome them.”
