"CNN shows a map where Italy appears to be the origin of the coronavirus outbreak . This is a distorted view of reality. However, the point is not CNN, this is just an example, because there are other media too. internationals that are painting Italy in the wrong way . The misinformation of some newspapers is fighting not with opinions, but with numerical data: Italy is the nation that is managing this emergency with more rigor, which, as we know, developed in China. " Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio writes in a post on Facebook .
"I wonder - continues Di Maio - what the intent is. To discriminate against a country that has public health and that is managing better, despite decades of cuts, a complex and emergency situation in some areas? We believe that checking the health of people doing more tampons is serious. We believe that taking restrictive measures to protect the health of our citizens is sacrosanct. We also believe that hunting for greasers is something to be left to the Middle Ages . We go ahead with rigor and we work 24 hours to bring our country, as soon as possible, to normal. Everyone is invited to collaborate for this goal, all over the world: politicians, institutions and the mass media ", concludes the owner of the Farnesina.
