who is Eugenio Gaudio’s wife and what is behind the story of not wanting to move to Catanzaro

Yesterday we told the story of Eugenio Gaudio, appointed by the Conte government the day before as health commissioner in Calabria and resigned the next day with a justification that seemed surreal to most: “My wife – he explained to Republic – has no intention of moving to Catanzaro. A job like this must be faced with the utmost commitment and I have no intention of opening a family crisis ”.

Ida Cavalcanti: who is Eugenio Gaudio’s wife and what is behind the story of not wanting to move to Catanzaro

Today the newspapers delve into the story and tell more details about a story that has many elements that do not add up. Gaudio’s wife is called Ida Cavalcanti and she is from Cosenza, like her husband who this week will leave the position of rector of La Sapienza to the new Antonella Polimeni. For most, the question of the wife seemed an excuse, especially since after his appointment Gaudio was attacked by the 5 Star Movement because he is being investigated for a university competition in Catania. But he with him Corriere della Sera He also cuts the bull’s head on this matter: “In the afternoon (yesterday, ed) my lawyer informed me that the prosecutor has filed the request for dismissal against me. From the impressions, the rest showed my strangeness to the matter ”. And he also says that parochialism has nothing to do with it, since it is not true that both are “staunch” fans of Cosenza: neither of them follows football. He also adds that he did not say yes to the appointment but that he asked Giuseppe Conte, whom he knows but is not a friend, the moment to evaluate even though his appointment was approved by the Council of Ministers in the meantime.

So what is behind the story of not wanting to move to Catanzaro? Il Corriere, reporting on the Prime Minister’s assumption of responsibility for the mess of the three commissioners in seven days (“I take full responsibility for the missteps”), suggests that suspicions may have weighed on the competition at Sapienza in which Conte wanted to participate with Gaudio. rector. But here it is Conte himself who denies it: “I can remove the suspicions, but it is difficult to remove the nonsense. I never had relations with the rector Gaudio as a candidate.” And Arcuri, another Calabrian, has something to do with it? “No, Gaudio is a name that emerges by itself. Let’s not fantasize.” Second the messenger instead, behind Gaudio’s no is the M5S guerrilla:

Gaudio surrendered because the Calabrian Morra – grillino president of the Anti-Mafia Commission – and the other 5 stars immediately put him on the Justicialist viewer. [… ] . And more than the will of his lady, if anything – in resignation – he can enter into the lack of clarity of the tasks that would have been due to him and the indefinite presence or the bulging shadow of Strada and his fans does not seem the best for the needy instead. of a clear situation to perform its difficult role in the best possible way.

Who will be the new health commissioner in Calabria?

Meanwhile, while the President of the Region Nino Spirlì opposes the arrival of Gino Strada with his body, the second Republic on pole is now Federico Maurizio D’Andrea, a Calabrian manager transplanted to Milan, former Colonel of Finance and former President by Sogei and Olivetti. And Strada?

Gino Strada remains on the court, weakened but now supported by the Five Stars, who in the middle of this rambling afternoon made it known: “I have not received any formal proposal.” His Emergency has also reached an agreement with Civil Protection precisely for health in Calabria, it is difficult to entrust Strada with a government task.

Meanwhile, Conte confirms that there will be collaboration with the founder of Emergency but that there was never any intention of appointing him curator: “I have listened to Strada several times. I have never offered him that position and he has never asked me for it.”
