Matteo Salvini’s state of health becomes a political case. Last night, as soon as he arrived at the stage of the ‘Itaca’ event, in Formello, a municipality near Rome governed by the center-right mayor Gianfilippo Santi, the leader of the League apologized for the delay and revealed that the mishap was due to therapy with cortisone. put in some pain and then added that he was also “a little feverish.”

A detail that has caused controversy on social networks with the accusation of the ‘Captain’ of not respecting the anti-Covid rules. The story is mounted and picked up by today’s newspapers. Hence the clarification-outburst of number one in via Bellerio, on his Facebook page: “I never had a fever, I did a Covid test yesterday morning, negative. I have a stiff neck like millions of Italians and I took cortisone, some ‘ journalists’ avoided at least to speculate and lie about the health of others.

Also yesterday, Salvini had told of the doctor’s visit with the advice of staying home and deserting the Formello appointment: ‘Sorry for the delay, I hate being late, but today is a day that did not start very well, I was two hours . coupled with cortisone and when I got up, the doctor told me: ‘Obviously, you’re going home now.’ And I said: “Yes, don’t worry, I go first to Anguillara Sabazia, then to Formello and finish in Terracina, but in the afternoon I get home. I really wanted to be here, a little sore, a little feverish, but it’s good to be there … ”

The explanatory note from Salvini (‘I don’t have Covid, enough speculation’ ‘) does not convince, however, Pd and Iv, who attack him:’ ‘If you have a fever, stay home.’ ‘ The first to retaliate with the former Interior Minister is the leader of the Pd group in the Senate Andrea Marcucci: “The rules and respect apply to everyone. Even for the party leaders. Also for Salvini. You have a fever? You stay at home, you don’t go to the rallies in Italy, without a mask. “

Along the same lines, Renziano deputy Giusy Occhionero: “Are not the thermometer and fever the same for everyone? If a child is 37.1, he is not allowed to enter school and is sent home, perhaps having to wait days before being swabbed and communicating the result, while Senator Salvini, despite being feverish, makes speeches and participate in public demonstrations. Why is this unequal treatment? “.
