More than 50 thousand dead, a disaster, and now it turns out that we have paid the applause of the World Health Organization to the Conte government for the fight against Covid with a transfer of ten million euros, or rather 14. This is the amount of the contribution from Italy.
A thousand outrages for institutional behavior. Did Minister Roberto Speranza know what the deputy director of the WHO, Ranieri Guerra, was doing on his behalf? Is it true that you pushed for the most unpopular decisions to be made based on the contributions of the WHO itself, which you then applauded?
Ranieri Guerra, at the center of the report last night, threatens lawsuits. But here we are not interested in assessing whether these journalists are good or not, but whether the denounced events correspond to reality.
And what one learns is dramatic. Because we have paid millions of euros to an independent organization for each institute and which, instead, took care not to upset the Italian government. If it is true what has been learned in the world apart from the Italian model. Stuff to bury, stuff to go to trial covered in shame.
When the WHO discovers with its investigators that Italy’s pandemic plan has been halted in 2006, Ranieri Guerra, fearful of antagonizing Speranza, asks to correct that long-standing date with 2016. In addition, he is concerned to eliminate any criticism of the Rome executive in the managing the fight against the pandemic. And it threatens the coordinator of WHO investigators, Francesco Zambon, who was in the Venice office, with ruining the parliamentary and financial path that affects those same offices. The emails are really clear, if they are real and not manipulated.
This morning Minister Speranza will be in Parliament to illustrate new measures against Covid and it will really be timely to clarify what happened. Especially since it is precisely his staff, in response to Report, who talks about updating the plan: then it is true that he was still standing in the distant past. And it will not be in vain to try to tell the whole truth. Because the WHO report that embarrassed Italy was only online for 24 hours in May and at this point it is necessary to clarify whether the minister knew anything even about his immediate removal from the network.
The sensational affair resurfaced after the content of some emails exchanged between Ranieri Guerra and Zambon was revealed. “One of Speranza’s strengths – wrote Guerra – has always been the ability to refer to the WHO as a conscious daughter (we suppose she meant ‘leaf’, ed) of fig for certain unpopular and criticized decisions.”
The WHO document denounced that Italy would never update its pandemic plan. Just ten years later he reconfirmed the one drawn up in 2006. But then he remembers that Guerra was Director General of Prevention of the Italian Ministry of Health from 2014 to 2017, so the task of updating the plan, in those years, also fell to him. But that is not all. “If even the WHO – Guerra wrote – puts a critical role that does not agree with the political sensitivity of the minister (…) I do not think we are doing a good service to the country.” And to what extent should WHO be concerned with providing “good service” to a country and its government? Perhaps a need for technical-political protection in the face of tens of thousands of deaths?
Once again, it will be up to the judiciary, that of Bergamo, to try to deal with a very ugly matter. Especially the versions of Zambon and Guerra will be compared to understand what happened. It would be really serious – and the political responsibilities would also be enormous at the judicial level – if it were discovered that some hand of the internal power could have suggested laundering with which to cancel the evidence of the lack of updating. But doing the math without the host: because emails exist and even with incredible blunders. There is even talk of a stock of medicines equivalent to 170 thousand cycles, to be completed “in 2006”. We were invaded by the virus, but they were playing cards. Even the Ministry of Health must tell everything it knows. The relatives of the 51 thousand dead killed by Covid claim it (if this figure has not been lied to).
