BABEL REGIONS ON VACCINATION

+++

EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM THE SUN 24 HOURS ON VACCINES AND REGIONS:

Regions in no particular order on vaccines are nothing new. But by the end of the month, the minute-by-minute monitoring of their procedures carried out by the office of the extraordinary commissioner, Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, could reveal surprises and consequences. The order of the commissioner of April 20 is not a legal act. But the indication is peremptory: no to vaccines for the under 60s. Lazio in the lead, however, the Regions go on anyway. By the end of April we will see. If the majority of those belonging to the categories with absolute priority indicated by Figliuolo – over 80, caregivers, fragile subjects plus others recently added – can still be reached, we continue without further exacerbating the disagreements. On Monday, Commissioner Figliuolo had warned the regions that before passing to the age of 50 it was necessary to have completed the vaccinations of the most vulnerable people and the age groups most at risk "in such a proportion as to guarantee their safety". An indication that does not worry the councilor for health Alessio D'Amato by virtue of the fact that in Lazio 70% of the frail patients have already been vaccinated. But if the trend of vaccinations, region by region, gets out of control with respect to the criteria indicated by the Prime Minister, Mario Draghi, the critical issues will be raised on a technical and political level.

THE GAMES OF THE REGIONS ON TRANSPORT

+++

EXCERPT FROM AN ARTICLE FROM THE PRESS ON TRANSPORT AND REGIONS:

With the return to school of the students and the reopening of economic activities, we return to talk about the problem of transport. What was done in a year of Covid? The Conte and Draghi governments have allocated one billion and 800 million to the local public transport sector. These resources, however, have almost all been used to pay for emergency relief to local public transport companies. Only 149 million were used by the regions to upgrade the lines and ensure more vehicles during peak hours. In 2020, the Conte government distributed 300 million euros to the governors to spend on "additional services", but, as a source close to the dossier reports, only 64 million are destined to increase buses, metro and trains. In 2021, 195 million have already been disbursed and distributed to strengthen the system and protect passengers who have to go to work without risking crowds and delays. The regions, explains the same source to La Stampa , have quantified the cost of programming the January-June service at 85 million. In essence, in the 14 months of the pandemic, the governors have reserved for the expansion of public transport only 149 million euros out of almost two billion donated by the state.
