In a video of the election campaign, posted on Facebook, Raffaele Fitto shakes hands with citizens who have just attended his rally. In another, however, he speaks on stage alongside local exponents of his training who do not wear a mask. And then there is the one who portrays him on the day of defeat, on his committee, while answering questions from journalists. These images explain why an unprecedented swab campaign has started in Puglia just hours after the MEP’s announcement that the virus was positive.

Not a general test, but the development of a system of controls for all those who believe they have been in close contact with the center-right candidate in the Region. And there are so many: politicians, candidates, staff, journalists who followed the final press conferences of the elections, businessmen and local administrators. Even Uccio De Santis, who participated in a Fitto election campaign event, announced his positivity to Covid on the Swiss site tio.ch, canceling the next show in Lugano.

“We were prepared, this case does not catch us by surprise because we knew that the electoral campaign would increase the risk of spreading the infection by concentrations that could inevitably be determined,” explains the head of the Region’s Health Secretariat, Vito Montanaro. “The drive in the stations of the clinics, such as the tent installed in the Di Venere hospital, which was served this year in the period of return from vacation from countries at risk, will also be a point of reference for citizens who believe that narrow contact with the positive “.

And so yesterday all the journalists who followed Fitto to the electoral commission at the Palace Hotel on Monday afternoon were rubbed and collected the statements with which the center-right candidate, speaking without a mask and closely, commented on the defeat. Then it will be the turn of the guard staff at the hotel. The system is that of concentric circles: the same one that made it possible to extinguish the outbreak of Sop, the import and export company of Polignano a Mare. The controls will affect not only the capital of Apulia, but also the other provinces affected by the electoral campaign: that of Lecce in the first place. In Maglie, his home country, where the vote also concerned the election of the mayor, the MEP closed the election campaign with a well-attended rally. And his closest associates have often been involved in a door-to-door campaign.
