"The problem is not the unvaccinated, but the virus that varies. The variations arise as a reaction to vaccines. In Israel they are all vaccinated and the virus is circulating among thousands of people. tampons, free for those who cannot afford it ".
So
Matteo Salvini
on La7.
Words that spark political controversy.
The reaction of the Democratic Party is very hard.
For Matteo Ricci, mayor of Pesaro and coordinator of the dem mayors, "Salvini is totally irresponsible".
"You cannot talk nonsense against all scientific evidence. His presence in the Government - he adds - is holding back Draghi's virtuous action. The League is opposing no vax, leave the Government, it is not compatible with Draghi".
The comment of the virologist Roberto Burioni, who, posting Salvini's sentence, writes on twitter: "Do you understand why I am discouraged?"
Meanwhile, the pressure of the Northern League governors is mounting to move forward quickly on the
extension of the green pass
, despite the party's choice of a more gradualist policy in Rome. An internal debate that grows around the secretary, increasingly tighter between the "governist" and the movementist wing, which calls for greater caution on this front. But Matteo Salvini does not even want to hear about a split and indeed claims the outcome of the agreement reached. "This of the two Leagues is a fantasy that is good for Mickey Mouse. We bring home the results: our discussion on the green pass has pushed the whole government to agree with us about salivary swabs, about free swabs for those in need of families with children ". That said, the day after the Montecitorio vote on the decree, the governor of Veneto,
Luca Zaia
, confirms his line in favor of enlargement: "At the national level there has been the approval of further measures to extend the Green pass and I think - observes Zaia - that they go in the direction of supporting the vaccination campaign". And she harshly wands the MEP from her own party, Francesca Donato, who had mocked, before apologizing, the family members of a doctor who died from Covid. With her Zaia is clear: "There is a proverb in Venetian suitable for those who speak and then apologize: 'prima de parlar, tasi", or before opening your mouth think about it, or shut up, or before opening your mouth think about it ". Even the president of Lombardy,
Attilio Fontana
, in the past he called the Green pass an "instrument of freedom, not of oppression".
Same tones from the president of Friuli Venezia Giulia and the Conference of Regions,
Massimiliano Fedriga
, according to which "the extension of the obligation of the Green pass is useful to allow activities to continue".
