Roberto Speranza has to take the field and put his face to defend the shocking sentences uttered by Giuseppe Zuccatelli, which in the past few hours has been promoted by the government as the new health commissioner in Calabria. The appointment came following the scandal which involved General Saverio Cotticelli, who discovered on television that he had to deal with the Covid plan. Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte decided to dismiss him immediately after the report aired on the transmission Titolo Quinto. Too bad, however, that the successor cannot boast of better. Since this morning the video has been shooting, published exclusively on ilGiornale.it, who immortalizes the new commissioner while supporting rather bizarre theories.
“Now if there is no mask, absolutely nothing is done. The mask is of no use to shit! To catch the virus, if I were positive, do you know what to do? You have to stay with me and kiss me for fifteen minutes with the tongue in your mouth, otherwise you won’t get the virus!“, he declared loudly. The center-right went on a rampage and asked for measures against him, but the Minister of Health has downplayed everything, emphasizing that the recovery dates back to the initial phase of the pandemic, when the World Health Organization itself believed that the use of masks was reserved only for the infected and healthcare professionals : “That video is deeply inappropriate, it’s a wrong way to communicate, but 30 years of resume can’t be deleted for a wrong and stolen video. The commissioner apologized and indicated that the mask is something decisive“. We could not expect anything else given that Zuccatelli would already have been a candidate in the Cesena college for the Senate for Liberi e equuali, the political movement to which the owner of the Salute belongs.
I understand everything, the urgency, the emergency, the haste and everything else to find a new commissioner at the # health of the #Calabria . But this cannot be done. Take action immediately.#Zuccatelli https://t.co/E2hTgFIQvu

Even within the majority they cannot agree. After the video was released, he intervened by surprise Nicola Fratoianni. “I understand everything, the urgency, the emergency, the haste and everything else to find a new health commissioner of Calabria“, he began. But the spokesman for the Italian Left and a member of Leu wanted to add that this is a very serious fact and as such demands immediate consequences:”This cannot be done. Take action immediately“.
“False data? Serious crime”
He’s doing a lot these days to discuss the action of the Giallorossi executive who, according to the accusations of the governors, would have decided to divide our country into three risk bands taking into account old, outdated data and therefore do not correspond to the current epidemiological picture. The suspicion is that some regional presidents may provide partial data on the Coronavirus situation in order not to be restricted. “In the relationship between institutions it would be a very serious crime to give false data. I think that the Regions must necessarily give correct data. Our data is public. They are because they are always public, there transparency is a strong point“warned Speranza.
In the interview given to In half an hour more on Rai 3, the Minister of Health – probably embarrassed from what happened – immediately circumvented the question on the Zuccatelli question. He did so by talking about the Calabria decree which, in theory, should provide new investments and strengthen the commissioner structure: “In recent years, over 700 million unspent have accumulated and with this decree we are building the conditions to spend them as quickly as possible“He therefore took advantage of the space on TV to play the classic spot to the government: “I would like the message to be this, that is, a new take on the issue of Calabrian health as national and not territorial“.
