Decisions made have always been based on scientific evidence and have been welcomed by politics in the first phase of the pandemic. Then a reference to last spring: “In the first phase in Brussels they looked at us like crazy at the idea of closing an entire country, then they did too. Now, however, Italy has also followed the decision-making model of other states, whose leaders did not have the courage, the capacity and the moment to make the right decisions at the right time. “For example, more severe behavior towards the gyms: “I would have closed them as if they were swimming pools – admits Ricciardi – every day millions of people attend.

If citizens are not assured, the economic fabric cannot be rebuilt.”
