15 December 2020 "Italy will be up to the challenge. There is a European direction that is working well and Minister Speranza is doing an excellent job. We try to have faith in the institutions. Europe has been decisive in facing the pandemic. Italy will do everything it can do in line with the European Union. If it had been for the anti-Europeanists we would have nothing: neither the vaccine, nor the resources ".



Speaking is the Minister for Regional Affairs Francesco Boccia, interviewed by Paolo Poggia on Rainews24 during the "Newsroom Italia" program.

A meeting during which the minister also addressed topics of close political relevance.



Vaccine: "Ready to go"

"Arcuri is ready to give the green light to the vaccine distribution plan as soon as there is the European OK. Tomorrow with the Minister Speranza, the Commissioner Arcuri and the head of the Civil Protection department Borrelli we will hold the final meeting to launch the vaccine plan . The Regions have done an excellent job ".



"No to palace games in a pandemic"

"Anyone who thinks of playing palace games in a full pandemic proves to be irresponsible. Talking about a crisis is now simply surreal. Citizens are confused because instead of facing the pandemic, there are those who puts before the liturgies of politics. Fortunately I am part of the Democratic Party and Zingaretti does not discount, he has put the cohesion of the majority on his shoulders from the beginning. The Democratic Party deals with the problems of the country ".



"Health first, then business"

"Even during the Christmas holidays we want to secure the hospitals and the entire system because three very difficult winter months await us. This means self-discipline and I believe that Italy will answer: health first and then the business ". 



Guzzini's shocking sentence: "Words that hurt"

"Evaluations so they hurt" said the Minister for Regional Affairs, Francesco Boccia, commenting on the words of the president of Confindustria Macerata, Domenico Guzzini.

"Many entrepreneurs I know will already be outraged," he added. 



The shocking sentence of the president of Confindustria Macerata

Here are the words of the president of Confindustria Macerata, Domenico Guzzini, pronounced yesterday during the "Made for Italy for fashion" event: "We expect a very meager Christmas because they are thinking of further narrowing and this means going to block a retail that was getting up for the second time from a crisis and are bringing it back to its knees. I think people are a bit tired of this situation and would like to get out of it. Even if someone dies, patience ".



The official apology arrived today.

"I sincerely apologize to everyone and in particular to the families touched by the Covid tragedy, for the sentence I uttered yesterday. I was wrong in the contents and in the ways. I was talking about company life and job prospects and instead, taken from the discussion, I made a wrong statement, which does not represent my thought nor that of the Association I represent ".

And again: "I am very saddened by my declaration which, when I listened again, I realized how serious and distant it was from what I think, that is, that the most important good in the life of each of us is health and family".
