From Magistris: “Luca’s Ordinance? One way to hide your failure is to raise the white flag. We are towards the closure “

“The decision of By Luca of close schools in Campania? I see this ordinance as a White flag, a bit like the confession of the incapacity of a territorial public network that has not been strengthened. I see the hide a failure“These are the words of the mayor of Naples, Luigi of Magistris, Interviewed by Simone spetia a “24 in the morning” (Radio24) on the last order of the president of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca.

And he adds: “We must say what has not been done in recent months to avoid a measure like this in a few hours, without consulting anyone, bringing a school community and a city to its knees. Above all, it should be explained why no measures have been taken that could easily have prevented that decision. We no longer have a territorial network capable of monitoring positive and direct contacts. The situation is out of control – explains – Home care is non-existent and those who have symptoms, even if they are not serious, put pressure on hospitals. We have spent a lot like the Campania regionbut we do the least amount of tampons. The territorial networks are incapable of monitoring the situation and therefore there is self-management of the pandemic. We only have 110 intensive care places for 6 and a half million inhabitants ”.

De Magistris underlines: “In addition, we are completely out of any agreement. The president does not consult the mayor, nor the provincial commission of public order and security, nor school administrators, nor economic operators. What is even more serious is that we are not part of the Regional Crisis Unit. I represent 3.5 million inhabitants, 53% of the population of Campania, and we are outside the Crisis Unit. It is something that, when I tell it to my colleagues in other parts, they do not believe it – he continues – We do not even have the updated data municipality by municipality, outbreak by outbreak, group by group. Instead, we must all work together. as the minister said, to defend article 32 of the Constitution. The Republic must be united, but if we don’t cooperate, how can we stop a situation like this?”.

And he points out: “I remember that at this time, school is the place where there is less contagion. But how do you leave school in a few hours and I mean To the same president who, until a few days before the elections, said that everything was under control? And yet, if you looked at the data, nothing was under control. This is the theme: it is being downloaded once again on the youth, the children, the citizens total inability to strengthen public health. Before the pandemic De Luca has closed a number of hospitals, emergency rooms, clinics, beds. We stopped at the confinement because people remained locked in their homes and were responsible. Local transportation? It is really a national problem, but that is not the most dramatic point. In buses, as far as possible, there is still a situation under control – he adds -. 80% of the people must enter the subway and funiculars and there must be controls, which sometimes are successful, other times they work less. Nothing has left our resources for public transport: We have put everything we could, buses, drivers, tourist buses, more than we could. What were we supposed to do, run the night buses with no money? Actually, the issue is not transportation or school, but a whole. The truth is that it was necessary to strengthen the outbreak control network. It is like a fire: if you don’t control the outbreaks, they become like the fire of Vesuvius in 2017, that is, the whole mountain catches fire”.

De Magistris concludes: “In this ordinance I don’t see a contrasting theme between De Luca and Azzolinabut to avoid congestion just do it staggering schedules, which does a long time, even in urban mobility. There it is necessary to intervene, along with distance education and operate with closures only in outbreaks. It’s not that we can close schools with a decision made in two hours. The real issue here is public health.: if no one comes to your house to treat you, if they don’t come to see if you are sick, if they give you a swab after 7 days, if you don’t contact the positive -he comments- even though there is a river of public money and you have Special powers , these Arcuri and De Luca can do whatever they want. De Luca will not reopen schools after October 30. The school will be closed until Christmas.. With these numbers and the inability to keep them in check we are only at the beginning of an escalation that will lead to a lockdown, not exactly like March, but we are coming.

Supports ilfattoquotidiano.it: I never eat right now
we need you.

In these weeks of pandemic, journalists, if we do our work conscientiously, we carry out a public service. Also for this reason, every day here at ilfattoquotidiano.it we are proud to offer hundreds of new content for free to all citizens: news, exclusive insights, expert interviews, surveys, videos and much more. All this work, however, comes at great financial cost. Advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited income. Not in line with the access boom. That is why I ask those who read these lines to support us. Give us a minimum contribution, equal to the price of a cappuccino per week, which is essential for our work.

THANKS FOR READING NOW XX ITEMS THIS MONTH.

But now we are the ones who need you. Because our work has a cost. We are proud to be able to offer hundreds of new content to all citizens for free every day. But advertising, at a time when the economy is stagnant, offers limited revenue. Not in line with the boom in access to ilfattoquotidiano.it. That is why I ask you to support us, with a minimum contribution, equal to the price of one cappuccino per week. A small but fundamental sum for our work. Give us a hand!
