Something is moving in the Ministry of Health, especially if on live television it is Deputy Minister Pierpaolo Sileri himself who speaks of the carelessness of administrative heads and calls for the resignation of Secretary General Giuseppe Ruocco. Sileri attacked the administrative leadership during his speech on Sunday night in Massimo Giletti’s broadcast, “Non è dell’Arena” broadcast on La7. The target, however, seems to be the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza.
The pandemic plan
It is not the first time that the deputy minister shows his disappointment. In early November, he had hit the table with his fists, yelling: “Whoever made a mistake will get kicked in the ass”.
A few days before, he had also announced that in 2023 he would leave the M5S and go to work with Zangrillo. In short, happy to be where he is, he doesn’t seem to be. And all we needed was his speech last Sunday, backed up by two other pentastellati Morra and Pirro. Also because Sileri, a doctor, is not given much prominence, according to La Stampa, he is not part of the CTS and is not even invited to important meetings where decisions are made. Everything seems to be firmly in the hands of Speranza and her collaborators, Zaccarda, Rezza and Ruocco. All Sileri has to do is participate in various television shows that he can have a say on, often against the decisions made by the other three.
Giletti based the episode on the lack of a pandemic plan, denounced by a World Health Organization document published in May and then immediately made to disappear. During the transmission of the Rai3 Report, the e-mails of Ranieri Guerra, who between 2014 and 2017 held the position of director general of Prevention of the ministry and is now deputy director general of the WHO, were sent to the researchers to the researchers requesting to make the file less serious, as it is politically inappropriate to criticize the government. The Bergamo Public Ministry opened an investigation after the relatives of the coronavirus victims found the file and requested an expert opinion, according to which the plan would have saved 10,000 deaths. For five hours the prosecutors listened to Guerra, while the authors of the famous file were not heard, because the WHO prevented their testimony, opposing the diplomatic immunity that Minister Di Maio asked to remove with a letter, he announced. of Giletti on television.
Sileri’s anger and demand to resign
And here Sileri was not silent, despite being the deputy minister of Health in the government. He explained that he had asked for information about the pandemic plan and also spoke of Ruocco’s frequent absences to the meetings of the Technical-Scientific Committee, requesting his resignation without mincing words: “Having seen the minutes in which he is always absent I think the best thing is that he is Give up. I have asked several questions about the pandemic plans. I demand an answer about this damn pandemic plan, was it, wasn’t it, is it old, is it new? Has it been updated or not and especially who has done it? It’s easy: there is a general management, three general directors who have alternated, there are directors. “
Giuseppe Ruocco, born in Naples in 1957, is a doctor who entered the ministry in 1984 and who practically never left, standing firm despite the succession of 11 governments and reinventing himself in 15 different positions. In 2017 he became general secretary of Lorenzin, later also reconfirmed by Grillo and Speranza. It was Ruocco, between 2014 and 2017 who drew up a national health prevention plan, in which a chapter was dedicated precisely to infectious diseases, underlining the fundamental points of the pandemic plan, requested by Europe in 2013 for both old and new infections . After him came Guerra and D’Amario. And nothing else was known about the pandemic plan.
