Who controls the data of Campania? The right arm of Governor Vincenzo De Luca. Now there is a suspicion of a conflict of interest in the case of Campania. Enrico Coscioni has been in charge of Agenas, the national regional health services agency since the end of September: from Salerno (like De Luca) and very loyal to the governor. He is the man who endorses, from the presidency of Agenas, the data provided by the Campania Crisis Unit. The Domani newspaper reveals the joint that raises doubts about an alleged conflict. The Crisis Unit of the Campania Region provides data on coronavirus to the national control room, which on the basis of an algorithm assigns the band (yellow, orange, red). Agenas monitors the accuracy of the data. Why would there be a suspicion of conflict? The leadership of the national agency (Coscioni) is also a member of the Crisis Unit of the Campania Region and of the control room. And then he maintains the position of health advisor to President De Luca. Coscioni with his right hand (as a member of the Crisis Unit) contributes the data, and with his left hand (President Agenas) he certifies them. “There is no conflict,” President Agenas said in Mañana.
The law allows it. But Coscioni is not a technician outside of politics. He is one of the Salerno Sheriff’s most trusted men. In the past he was Campania regional councilor for De Luca’s list as president. So, a Deluchian of iron. He is the man who in the last five years has had control of health care in Campania. It’s part of the sheriff’s restricted stable. At the end of September, the State-Regions conference appointed Coscioni to the presidency of Agenas.
Therefore, the doubts are legitimate. So much so that the jump from the yellow to the red zone occurred after an inspection by technicians from the Campania Ministry of Health. Suspicions aside, Campania is preparing to enter the red zone: as of today, without activity and circulation. The bulletin confirms the negative trend: 3,351 positives out of 20,662 swabs performed, 728 less than on Friday but with 4,848 fewer tampons. In percentage, it means that 16.21% of the tests are positive, a little more than yesterday when the contagion rate had reached 15.99%. The coronavirus runs fast. But the schools are reopening: activities in the presence of children and the first grades of primary school will resume from November 24, after a voluntary screening on teaching and non-teaching staff and on students. For different levels and school orders, distance education is maintained. Yesterday, the last Saturday of freedom: there were not the usual rivers of people on weekends, but Spaccanapoli, Piazza del Gesù and Piazza San Domenico Maggiore up to San Gregorio Armeno, the “via dei shepherds”, are now full. In the alleys and squares of the old center of Naples even the tables of the bars and other places were occupied. Lots of people also in the Vomero district. Many are struggling with shopping and “the last coffee.” Sweep of police checkpoints.
But there are those who rebel against the red zone. Benevento is absent: Mayor Clemente Mastella considers Benevento’s demise as an injustice. In Sannio the situation is under control. And that is why the hypothesis of an appeal against Speranza’s decision circulates. It will end up in court. But for now it closes. Waiting for the judges.
