the Ministry of Health does not give up: the “secret plan” remains a secret. Or rather a mystery. In the sense that although everyone knows that a anti-covid piano In fact it exists, kept confidential and formally approved by the CTS, the dicastery headed by Speranza is still hidden behind the finger of Stefano merler. Dragged to court in front of the TAR, the ministry not only opposed the request for publication of the deed, but even claimed that it never had that document in its hands.
As exclusively revealed by the Giornale.it, on December 22, the ministry is called to appear before Section III quater of the Lazio Administrative Court to discuss the appeal presented by Galeazzo bignami me Marcello Gemmato. The FdI deputies, who had submitted an access to the documents that remained unanswered, ask the judges to decree “the illegality of the kept silence” and to condemn Viale Lungotevere Ripa 1 for publishing that much-discussed “secret plan.” The ministry, for its part, intends to “resist the call.” This is demonstrated by the defensive brief presented yesterday by the State Attorney General’s Office, which defends the Department of Hope. A four page document with bright enough tones that will undoubtedly rekindle the flame of controversy.
The appeal of the honorable FdI started from the interview granted by Andrea Urbani in April, when the director general of health planning declared the Messenger Service that “already on January 20 we had a classified plan and we followed that plan ”to fight the first wave. If one of your CEOs says so, why isn’t the department releasing the document? For the ministry, the whole case would be the result of “erroneous interpretations of the statements made” by Urbani. “This document – read memory – it is not a pandemic plan approved with a formal act of the ministry of health, neither act prepared by a PA, nor is it supported by the ministry ”. The lawyer maintains that “the document whose presentation the plaintiffs have requested” is “a text prepared and proposed by the Bruno Kessler Foundation of Trento” that would contain the famous “National Emergency Plan for coronavirus.” Viale Lungotevere Ripa admits that on February 12 it “learned” about Merler’s office, but denies that it was “addressed to her” or that it “acquired” it. Having it would be the CTS, which is part of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers. The Committee, writes the lawyer, “acquired the data relating” to the investigation “together with other research documents and scientific contributions”: in short, it would be only “one of the elements, along with numerous other sources, on which the Committee it has drawn up its positions and autonomously assumed its own decisions. ” Therefore, if Bignami and Gemmato want Merler’s study, they should not ask the Ministry of Health but Miozzo & co., Which have already provided it to the reporters who had requested it in August.
First note: at least 8 members of the CTS out of 26 come from the Ministry of Health, including the heads of various Offices. In practice, the dicastery dumps the ball in another state body, largely made up of its own representatives. Curious, huh? Actually, the problem here is that the two IDF deputies, and not a few citizens, do nothing about Merler’s study. That is known. It is not the first time that the ministry and Speranza have denied the existence of a document other than the Kessler Foundation investigation. But as revealed in the “Coronavirus Black Book“(Read here) and confirmed in Giornale.it from a source close to the file, the two documents are different. What Merler presented on February 12 in the CTS it was, in fact, a report composed substantially of projections and mathematical studies. He stopped there and gave no instructions. Therefore, nothing to do with the guidelines and scenarios that will later be included in the plan drawn up in the Scientific Technical Committee and presented as a draft to Minister Speranza as of February 20.
Is it possible that Urbani mistook the dates? And what did “February 20” mean instead of “January 20”? It should not be excluded. But the substance does not change. The fact is that the state administration has drawn up a “plan” and how. Having heard Merler’s report, in fact, on February 12, the CTS ordered an internal working group to “produce, within a week, a first hypothesis of Operational plan for preparation and response to different scenarios of possible development of a 2019-nCov epidemic“. Words are important. This is an ‘Operational Plan’, and not a trivial analysis as it will later be classified. What emerges (more than two weeks after Merler’s analysis) is in fact much more complex work than a”. study. “The” Plan “was approved by Cts on March 2 “in its official version”, signed “by all those who contributed” and finally “presented to the Hon. Minister Speranza ”through Angelo borrelli. How is it possible that the ministry says it has never seen any “Plan”? And again: in the minutes of March 4, the Committee writes verbatim that the “Plan” was “prepared by the ISS in agreement with the Ministry of Health and the Spallanzani hospital”. If it was done “in accordance with the ministry,” how can the ministry itself claim that it never stopped it?
“The indictment of the ministry contains very serious statements: attacks on Bignami, heard by Giornale.it – Beyond the fact that, as usual, journalists are blamed for not having understood anything, in reality we are told that Italy did not have a Plan at the time of the outbreak of the pandemic, denying Minister Speranza that at this point it should answer. at least to the parliamentary questions we have asked you for a month. There are too many contradictions in this story and I think the only way to clear it up is to go to court. But this time we go to the Prosecutor’s Office, because either there is bad faith or there is incompetence ”.
