Doesn’t feel “persecuted” Giovanni toti: «Absolutely not, I have great esteem by the Public Ministry of Genoa. It is quite difficult to work as hard as we are doing, making quick and difficult decisions to save lives with the Nas and the judicial police in the office, but if your investigations help us to understand if mistakes have been made, make them. … ». And yet the investigation was opened to find out if the data provided by the Liguria, the Region of which you are president, are correct or if an error, omission or even fault has been made, so that it enters that yellow zone that looks like a certificate of virtue, it seems unjustified.
Too jealous?
The problem is upstream. If to raise the doubt that something is wrong are those who analyze the data (Iss and Cts, ed), I think it’s a way to protect yourself from controversy. And if the opposition pounces on it irresponsibly, I’d like to quote Biden: “Less anger in politics.” You can lose an election, but don’t take it so badly … ».
But are you absolutely sure of the data? Liguria has objective areas of suffering.
“The situation is very clear. The report that arrived on the night of Saturday 25 is a photocopy of the previous one, for which we were classified in the yellow zone and the level of reliability of the data in some parameters was judged above 90%. If the criteria adopted for dividing Italy into bands are scientific, well, we are absolutely fine. If instead we want to make more extensive arguments, let us do them ».
In other words, wouldn’t you object if Liguria moved into the orange or red zone?
«I am available to assess the situation, I am not afraid to take responsibility, I can discuss it calmly with Minister Speranza. But we didn’t bring out the quality of the data. ‘
And what should we discuss?
“The situation cannot always be assessed based solely on figures. With us the transmission index Rt it is lower than in other regions, I think that in Report 26 we will be even lower than now. But it is true that in Genoa even with a low Rt index there is a strong pressure on the hospitals, while in other provinces the Rt is higher but there is no particular suffering in the health structures. If we want to evaluate decisions perhaps at the local level to be more relaxed, let’s do it, but knowing that it is always a question of political choices.
That is, is there a different treatment for the center-right and center-left regions?
“No, I absolutely do not believe that the options are due to partisanship, so much so that some governors who called for a total closure, such as De Luca, are in the yellow zone and others who wanted to keep open are in the red zone. Many are unhappy. By political decisions I mean that evaluations are always made taking into account many factors: the health situation, the territory, economic and social needs … Putting everything into a cauldron that with an algorithm should give the perfect solution is impossible. Politics always decides.
So much so that there is talk of a reform of Title V, which regulates the relations between the central State and the Regions, in a more restrictive sense for the latter, especially for health management.
“But on the basis of what merits does the government see the need to put medical care in the hands of the central state?”
Maybe just to avoid continuous clashes like in recent weeks?
“And whose responsibility is it? If we had seen Regions doing terrible things and the government operating in an amazing way, we might as well argue about it. Actually, someone was very good, someone on average, someone less, before a government that -without wanting to make a controversy in such a difficult situation- he moved late, with Dpcm in installments, or that as in Calabria he has nominated. implausible commissioners twice in a row. In the regions they have just voted and citizens have confirmed in Liguria, Veneto , Campania, Puglia, and also in Tuscany, the previous governments: perhaps they were not dissatisfied. I would postpone this discussion for better times, better for all “.
