Lopalco, the epidemiologist running against enemies and friends. That can’t stop it

His strategy to stem the advance of the virus in Puglia has met with approval, but it has nevertheless divided the political front, given that many criticisms have arisen from the opposition with frictional moments even on; the decision to take the field in the next regional elections, however, it seems to have paradoxically mended old divisions, triggering a more or less bipartisan aversion towards him. This is the scenario that is emerging around the professor Pierluigi Lopalco, Apulian from Mesagne (Brindisi) and world-renowned scientist, Professor of Hygiene at the University of Pisa, head of the task force set up by the Region to combat the epidemic.

Against him, the new advancing, the scholar also capable of holding a guitar for one day and improvising a rock piece in front of a hospital, in short against the card played by Michele Emiliano at the ballot box to confirm himself governor, not only the predictable rose barrage of the next political opponents, but also the unexpected friendly fire of those who would be called to support it. To the point that the amendment presented by the center-right in the context of the bill on the introduction of gender equality to stop its candidacy has been approved by the opposition and by a large group of center-left shooters. However, in the end, the subtle strategies developed to neutralize the factor Lopalco and especially his dreaded media overexposure they ended in nothing. The system of double gender preference in these parts remains a mirage and among the two thousand amendments evaporated during a grueling as well as including political marathon there is also what could have blocked the epidemiologist’s way. As if to say: the law vanished and the deception disappeared, understood as a political maneuver. Which in this case was aimed at fixing the ineligibility for “subjects nominated for any reason in the task force of the Puglia Region”. A change proposed by Come on Italy and approved during the night with the cheering applause of the opposition and the decisive contribution of a dozen snipers.

The marathon destined to end with the definitive stop to the political ambitions of the epidemiologist wanted by Emiliano it has not led to anything, except to clarify once and for all that political parties would like him confined to the laboratory. But the scientist is not there and reiterates the intention to apply. “Retire? I don’t even think about it », Lopalco cuts short. Who, although using the weapon of irony, which he had already shown to handle with skill when he had clashed with the candidate of the center-right Raffaele Fitto, do not send them to say. «I knew everything by chance – he declares -, I didn’t know I was so important, it means that I am doing well; my friends – he adds – had warned me, but now I have decided to put myself at the service of the community: no, no step back ».
