Sileri: 'I'm not applying again, I'm going back to being a surgeon'

 "As announced in March 2018, as soon as I entered Parliament, and as repeated today in an interview with la Repubblica, I will not run again in the next elections and at the end of my term I will return to my job as a surgeon and university professor".

Thus the Undersecretary for Health Pierpaolo Sileri, elected senator with the M5s and then passed in the last few weeks in the Ipf group.

    "I will go back to doing what I have always done, to take care of patients, a sensitivity that has guided me even in recent years at the service of the institutions, during which I have tried to take care of the interests of citizens in the best possible way - explains Sileri -.

    In the interview I also had the opportunity to take stock of my political and government experience, which took place at a very difficult time for Italy, which is not over yet and requires great unity of purpose among the political forces " .

    "The institutions - he adds - come first.

This is why I have always remained faithful and loyally supported the governments of which I had the honor of being part, first the Conte government and then the Draghi government.

In the hospital, the doctor, when he completes his shift, leaves the instructions to the colleague who enters the service.

I would like the handover between this government and the one that will be formed after the elections to take place in the same way, in the exclusive interest of the citizens ".

    According to Sileri "the extraordinary nature of the situation we are experiencing requires unity of purpose, and I hope that the side that will win the elections, whatever it is, will have the ability to listen to the other party, for the good of the country".
