February 20, 2021 The extraordinary session of the Conference of Regions and Autonomous Provinces began at 5.30 pm on the only point on the agenda: "Evaluation of the current system of rules for the management and containment of the pandemic in view of the adoption of the next Dpcm ".

But it is the cut announced by AstraZeneca of the vaccine doses delivered in Italy to represent one of the themes at the center of the Conference of Regions in progress.

According to what has been learned, a first estimate of the shortfall will also be made here.



AstraZeneca cuts delivery doses by 15%

The national cut, communicated to various regions, on the doses delivered this week of the Astrazeneca vaccine, would be around 15%.

The cut of vaccines, communicated to the Regions in these hours, also affected today's Conference of Regions.



Zingaretti: "The reduction in AstraZeneca deliveries is very serious"

"The sudden reduction in the delivery of AstraZeneca vaccines is very serious. We are doing our best but with this uncertainty everything is more difficult. Italy protects the national interests and the planning of the regions, meanwhile, let's get ready for the production of vaccines validated by EMA and Aifa by our companies ".

Nizola Zingaretti, secretary of the Democratic Party and president of the Lazio Region, writes on Facebook.



Bonaccini: "Understanding the incidence of variants"

"I take the liberty of saying that an evaluation must be made together: the band system today shows some limits. We will also have to try to understand what the incidence of variants may be in the coming weeks. closures and openings risk wearing out the citizens ".

Stefano Bonaccini declared.

"Today's is a first meeting between Regions, because we hadn't seen each other for a few days, after the change of the executive. A new government begins and in the next few days we will also meet with the new Minister for Regional Affairs, Mariastella Gelmini, and the Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza ".



Giani: "In the next Dpcm transparent and objective criteria"

"I want the next Dpcm, which will regulate the situation for a month, have elements of transparency on the infections, because I am convinced that when there are objective numbers people can tolerate even better, while when he sees aspects of excessive discretion, as it seems to me it emerges for RT, he naturally feels more discomfort ".

This was stated by the president of Tuscany, Eugenio Giani.

To demonstrate the need for more objective criteria to define the zones of the regions, Giani compared today's numbers on the epidemic of Tuscany, currently in the orange zone, and of Lombardy "which this morning has more than 3,700 new cases and is still the yellow zone" .

The president of Tuscany observed that "it is true that Lombardy has three times the number of inhabitants of Tuscany, but it is also true that the ratio between 953 new cases in Tuscany and 3,700 in Lombardy is one to four: therefore, if we are in the orange zone almost on the edge of the red, other regions are in the yellow zone having positions far superior to ours from the point of view of infections and intensive care, and I want this to be clarified at national level ".



Different

positions The positions of the individual regions are still distant from each other, especially on the subject of zones.

Not everyone is convinced by the hypothesis of a generalized orange zone.

In particular, the leader of the League, Matteo Salvini, who would prefer targeted interventions, says the opposite: "If there are areas that are more at risk, action is taken quickly and in a limited manner, accelerate the vaccination plan, but do not panic the entire Country". 



Occhiuto: "With Gelmini the Government-Regions relationship will improve"

"Minister Gelmini knows that the Regions are fundamental and that the relationship with the Regions will be built in a different way than in the past".

This was stated by Roberto Occhiuto, group leader acting for Forza Italia in the Chamber of Deputies, speaking to TgCom24.

"In recent months we have seen, often and willingly, a blame game between the executive and the governors, now I believe that the music will change. We need a loyal collaboration between different levels of government. I am convinced that Minister Gelmini, who knows the world of the Regions well , will be able to perform this function in the best possible way ".
