Roberto Garofoli, expressed yesterday during the Council meeting. He takes the opportunity to ask the executive for “greater determination” after returning from vacation because the challenges to be faced are “urgent and dangerous”.

We must make sure that we have done everything to prevent the epidemic from escalating. We don’t know if this is enough or not. Everything is done on the basis of current evidence and data,” he admits.

“I want to remember that a famous research institute projected 1,700 deaths per day by mid-July and there were seven or eight. This means that it is a fluid situation: we must make sure at all times that we have done everything possible on the basis of the data we have,” he urges, recalling That “Italy vaccinated more doses per 100 people than France, Germany and the United States.”

“If we can ensure security and confidence in all of us” regarding the state of the pandemic, he continues, “we think the economy will get better,” but “this should not make us forget that we have to face the remaining problems.

He adds: “The idea that must be kept clear in mind – he adds – is that in two weeks it will take the same determination, if not greater, to meet the challenges and the answers we must give to urgent and serious problems. Things, apart from our commitment to start school face to face Face it, the vaccination campaign continues, and then there are all the problems related to work: today there was a meeting with the Minister of Labour. ”

Finally, to whomever is asked the government’s first six-month budget and future projections, he answers: “The government lives mainly because there is a parliament that makes it alive and because there is a parliament that legislates. The horizon is in the hands of parliament, I can’t express opinions and views on this. I’m here, I’ve been Being called up to do it, I try to do it in the best possible way. And then we’ll see.” “There are no dark sides or bright sides” in these six months, he says. “In all of this the only thing that matters is the results. And the parties look at the results just as we do, as I do. It’s not that they have different goals in mind. They work – it seems strange – they also work for there is no conflict of ends between this government, The prime minister, those who work are the best and the others are not: we all work together.”
