“In the last weeks we have distributed 36.2 million masks, since the beginning of the emergency we have distributed 208.8 million. The Regions in their warehouses have 55 million thanks to joint work. We deliver them to hospitals, health and parasite personnel, law enforcement agencies, the local and central public administration sector. “The saying extraordinary emergency commissioner coronavirus, Domenico Arcuri, responds to the controversy raised by the absence of the masks at a discounted price of 61 cents (50 plus VAT). “It is not me who has to supply pharmacies or their distributors. As Commissioner, I am committed to integrating, where possible, the supplies that these categories can obtain through their supply networks, “explains Arcuri. He adds lapidary:” The price is 50 cents plus VAT.or 61 cents, and will continue to be that. Speculators will have to compensate. The jungle that we have overlapped, the speculation that we have observed will not return.
“There is in the supermarket because the offer works”
Arcuri also responds to allegations of too low a price (50 cents) for the masks that would have made them available because they are “off the market.” “The hypothesis that the cost conditions the supply of the masks is unfounded. Citizens go to the supermarket and the masks find them … And this means that in large retailers supplies work and in the other network they do not. However, we have signed an agreement with all associations that provides an opportunity to receive compensation for the higher price they paid to buy masks. ”
Tobacconists will also sell you
“ME I’m obsessed of this problem of the lack of supplies of the masks in pharmacies because in the end the victim is only the citizen. But I don’t feel responsible for that. Transparency and responsibility There are two prerequisites that have not existed in this case, “said Arcuri, who is trying other ways to get citizens to have protective devices. The commissioner, in fact, announced the masks at a reduced price in the coming weeks. will also be found in tobacconists thanks to an agreement “with the association that has 50 thousand stores in the country“.” We have signed the first two non-exclusive agreements (with large retailers and with the distribution of pharmacists, ed) and we hope to make others have equally massive distribution networks, “he explains.
Criticism, yes, but only from citizens
The extraordinary commissioner also wanted to defend himself against another accusation launched by Confindustria (“highly recommended,” said Gianfranco Di Natale, general manager of institutional affairs for the Association). “I accept good advice from everyone, but the weather is gentleman.” And he reiterates: “We work in the exclusive interest of citizens to better protect their health. Sometimes I make mistakes, so I expect criticism and if it serves as reprimands,” but “only by citizens,” said Arcuri. And then: “We are doing our part,” he added, “and we are doing it by putting our face to it. So welcome criticism “from the citizens,” but only from them. ”
