On the symbolic day of the release of vaccines throughout Europe, controversy broke out in Italy. Vincenzo De Luca was the first Italian politician to receive the dose but in this first phase the protocol establishes that the vaccine is administered exclusively to health personnel and hospital physician and individuals in the highest risk categories, such as guests in retirement homes. So why was Vincenzo De Luca given one of the first 720 doses assigned to Campania? The mayor of Naples, Luigi De Magistris, triggers the controversy. “I got vaccinated. We all have to do this in the next few weeks. It is important to win the battle against Covid-19 and return to normal life. Without lowering your guard and respecting the rules“wrote the governor, posting the photo of his vaccination on Facebook.
“I find President De Luca’s abuse of power truly unspeakable and unworthy To take advantage of of its institutional role to be vaccinated when the vaccine, in the first weeks, should be exclusively destined, considering the very few quantities available, to doctors, nurses, health workers and the elderly“commented the mayor of Naples, obviously upset by the situation and the precedent that has arisen in Campania.”You should to be embarrassed and apologize!“continued De Magistris, launching the decisive attack on De Luca:”Now not everyone, sadly, can still be vaccinated, while De Luca appears as a privileged member of the arrogant caste who exploits his institutional role for propaganda purposes. Unfortunately, their fix is taken away from those who work on the front lines and risk their lives every day.“.
The sentence also lasts from Fulvio Martusciello, Forza Italia MEP: “From Luca? Skipped the line. He was not entitled to receive a vial from a health worker, but he did. Without decency. Without respect. He skipped the line and took the vial. No regional president was vaccinated on V Day“. The manager of Go Italy is furious at the gesture of the president of the Campania region: “They all said that ‘health workers come first’, also because the vials were few and not enough for everyone. No one except De Luca, who skipped the line and showed up with his shirt off. An act of arrogance towards the numerous guests of the nursing homes in their eighties who were instead a priority category. De Luca skipped the line and ran away with the vaccine vial. It was not meant for him, but for a nurse, an old man, and he took it instead. Arrogance in power“.
The condemnation also comes from Matteo salvini: “De Luca skips the line and takes the vaccine from those who needed it most. Out of exhibitionism, Governor De Luca took the vaccine from someone who needed it more than he. Doctors, nurses, health personnel, forces of order and fragile people deserve respect and seriousness, not politicians in the style of Marquis del Grillo“. Asking the question is also Antonio Iannone, regional commissioner of the Brothers of Italy in Campania: “But did De Luca get the vaccine because it was his turn, or was a vial destined for someone who had priority taken away?“.
