Vaccines must first be administered to Lombard citizens, because “if a Lombard gets sick, it is worth more than if a person from another part of Italy gets sick.” It is not a gaffe or a decontextualized phrase, but the reasoning, reiterated to avoid doubts, of Angelo ciocca, MEP of the League so far famous in Brussels and Strasbourg above all for having trampled with a shoe the documents of the former EU Economic Commissioner Pierre Moscovici.
During an interview on the ‘Black Lombardy’ program on Antena 3, the politician from Pavia, condemned in the first frame in the context of the Rimborsopoli scandal to the Lombardy Region, took him out of the hypothesis, for now only such , that Lombardy could have a number of vaccines not commensurate with the population compared to Lazio. “Someone wants to do people’s health policy, someone thinks of territorial patronage,” he said. “One Region rewards itself over another because at the democratic level one has one color over another,” he continued. The factors that should lead to the distribution of the vaccine should be the number of inhabitants, a ratio between how many inhabitants I have and how many vaccines. It is unthinkable that Lombardy, which has twice the population of Lazio, could receive fewer vaccines. “So far, the reasoning is perfect. Later, however, Ciocca himself, after criticizing” territorial patronage “, indulges in expressions perhaps a bit too local, especially for a party that tries to present itself as a nationalist reality like the League.
When deciding the distribution of vaccines, Ciocca continued, “we need to assess the economic importance of the territory. Lombardy, in fact, is the engine of the whole country. So if a Lombard gets sick, it is worth more than if a person from elsewhere from Italy gets sick “. “Indeed?”, Replied director Marco Oliva. “Yes, it is a fact. If a Lombard gets sick, economically, as businessmen, he is worth more than a Lazio,” added the MEP. “You cannot do health policy, but you also have to make an economic reasoning for the country because, unfortunately, it is a fact that a Lombard citizen pays more taxes than a Lazio citizen,” Ciocca concluded. Lombardy was the territory. it has been most affected and continues to be the most affected by infections. You put fire extinguishers at your disposal where you have more fires: both because we are numerous, as there are more sick people and infections and last but not least the economic aspect because it is a territory the more difficult it is, the more the whole country pays.
