May 09, 2021 "I am afraid not of the curfew at midnight, but of the nightlife. My terror is what will happen after midnight: if we have uncontrolled nightlife for three months, maybe we will spend the summer, but in September there will be a new wave ". Vincenzo De Luca, guest of Half an hour in Più 'on Rai3, talks about reopening.
The Regions, he says, "have made a simple reasoning, we were the first to talk about a second phase. And this is because we have two innovations to take into account: the vaccination campaign and then Italy is exhausted, it can't make it. more. So we said that a different point of balance had to be found between health protection and protection of work and economic activities ". "I am therefore d ' agreement to open until midnight - he adds - and I'm terrified not of openings, but of nightlife ".
For De Luca, the Italian strategy against Covid had three limits: "The line of half measures that did not help much. Then we did not worry about having the production of vaccines in Italy. Third, a safety plan was missing. of territories. My terror is therefore for what will happen after midnight: if we have uncontrolled nightlife for three months, maybe we will have the summer, but in September we will have a new wave of Covid ".
Vaccines, 194 thousand fewer doses in Campania and hubs are closed
"In January we all decided together to send more doses first to the Regions with an older population, with the understanding, however, that in April the less vaccine doses we had received would be recovered for Campania. Commissioner Figliuolo then, taking office, he said "we will distribute a citizen a vaccine on the basis of the principle." But this criterion was not followed. In April we did not recover the 200 thousand less doses we received. And this is a very serious thing because it infringes a citizen's right and weighs on the Region with the highest population density in Italy and therefore most at risk. We have maximum respect for the Commissioner, but we must respect the rules and rights of all. To date we are still less than 194 thousand doses for Campania based on the population " .The president of Campania said again, who confirmed the closure of two vaccination centers, Mostra d'Oltremare and Capodichino, "for lack of doses".

"In Italy we have immunized 7.2 million people at the moment - he continues -, this means that in order to immunize the whole country, reaching 50 million doses, we will take another 8-10 months with this time and this is not good. We will have to get the entire population to immunize by September, it is clear that vaccines are lacking, and this is one of the critical points of the campaign ".
De Luca points the finger against what he calls a "disinformation campaign": "You have to assess data on who has given the availability. We have vaccinated 100% of octogenarians available to be vaccinated, others we can not force them"
Covid Islands free: Capri , a global brand
The governor of Campania then claimed his region's decision to launch mass vaccinations on the smaller islands, starting with Capri (but also Ischia, although it is not a minor island). "We - he explained during the broadcast 'Half an hour more' - have taken a decision of pure and simple common sense, of health protection of the islands which are the territories most at risk, but we have also made an assessment relating to an economic sector , the hotel tourism sector: to understand that if you missed the month of May you would miss the summer season. And therefore, beyond the guidelines of the government, of the commissioner at Covid, we decided to go ahead with our choice: to immunize the islands ". "Obviously we know that Capri is a global brand,and therefore it was essential to give an extraordinary acceleration - he adds -. Now we will continue on the Sorrento Coast, Amalfi Coast, Cilento, Campi Flegrei, we want to do something reasonable ".

No triumphal marches
On the vaccination campaign he said that "We have certainly made important steps forward, but there is no matter to make triumphal marches". "The government must try to procure an impressive amount of vaccine beyond the four contracted with Europe, which are binding for everyone" he adds, asking: "If it took a week to validate Pfizer, do the same with Sputnik. Take two or three weeks, but then say yes or no. It must be in Italy's interest to request the validation of an additional vaccine. With 10 million more doses we would have given them to the economic categories and we would have solved only half of the problem " .

Little sensitivity for the South
"I am not in opposition to the Draghi government, but I try to defend the interests of my community", said De Luca about the controversy with the government regarding the allocation of PNRR funds to the South and the distribution of vaccines. "I don't think there is a great sensitivity for the South in the Government, beyond words - added the president of the Campania regional council - and I must remember added De Luca that every citizen of Campania receives 30 euros less for Healthcare than one from Lombardy and 40 less than one from Lazio ". The president of the Campania council reiterated that "the South will still receive less than the 40% envisaged in the Recovery plan, because to reach 40% they have added resources from funds already destined for the South". "My concern - concluded De Luca - is that it will not be possible to spend the 200 million of the NRP if the radical de-bureaucratization is not carried out, to be operated with the sword, which is necessary ".
"In Italy we should have the same ideal and political motivation that was adopted with the reunification of the two Germanys after the fall of the Berlin Wall, that is to decide to recover the infrastructural, social and gender gap between South and North. The hundreds of billions we have had, we have obtained exactly for these purposes.
we, sick of theatricality
"In Italy, where we are used to theatricality and the baroque we called the Recovery Plan, Pnrr, does anyone know of how many Italian citizens know what the word 'resilience' means? We had already demonstrated theatricality and creativity, changing the name of Ministry of the Environment in Ministry of Ecological Transition, causing a first ecological damage, because we had to throw away all the headed paper of the Ministry of the Environment. We are sick of theatricality ". Then he added: "It 's true too I am ill with theatricality, I would cut my tongue when I get some bad jokes. We have been told that 40% of the resources of the PNRR are destined for the South. It is not true, because they were funds that had already been earmarked for the South were counted.In any case, credit must be given to those who brought these resources to Italy, I am speaking of Gentiloni, of previous governments and also of some political force that did not go against Europe, then going to ask Europe for money ", he concluded.
"Do you have news that some Italian citizen knows the meaning of the word resilience? We are sick of theatricality" @VincenzoDeLuca # mezzorainpiù @RaiTre pic.twitter.com/Ohxt3Qj3ly
