(ANSA) - MILAN, DEC 05 - On the difficulty of finding flu vaccines, the president of the Lombardy Region, Attilio Fontana, is ready to take on "in first person" all the responsibilities deriving from a purchase "in private negotiation, overcoming the obligation of the public tender ".
This is the meaning of the letter that the governor, through his lawyers, sent to the Milan prosecutor to bring it "aware" of the stall in the purchase of vaccines.
"I simply wanted to reassure Aria of any subsequent responsibilities, which I would take on personally", explains Fontana through the pool of his lawyers.
"In a moment of concern over the vaccine problem, I wanted to inform the prosecutor of the stalemate caused by Aria's difficulty in bringing the purchase of vaccines back into the Covid emergency discipline", says Fontana through the pool of its lawyers.
"For the sake of timeliness in a very complicated situation for the vaccine market, it was a matter of buying a quantity by private negotiation, overcoming the obligation of the public tender - continues the governor -.
Through my lawyer, I therefore simply wanted to represent this paradox to the magistrates to reassure Aria about any subsequent responsibilities, which I would have personally assumed ".
