ALL THE POLITICAL THINKING OF CAIRO ACCORDING TO THE CORRIERE DELLA SERA

«They are trying to navigate on sight, it's a shame, this is not the time to have a government crisis. Renzi and his party had gotten many things, even right, about the Recovery plan. So why this crisis? You have to ask Renzi ». This is the opinion of the president of Rcs Urbano Cairo interviewed on Un giorno da pecora, on Rai Radio1.

"Stability is an absolutely important asset at a time when the first funds of the Recovery plan are assigned – explained the entrepreneur -. It does not have to be stability at all costs but, having improved the distribution of these funds, it could have been right to go forward perhaps by prodding the government from within to do things better ».

Cairo also touched on other issues related to the political moment. «A party of the Count? When Monti did it was not a good thing. The Conte "brand" works, it has an important consensus, but it is not automatic that it spills over to a party. But I read that the polls are positive, ”he stressed. And when asked what he would do as Silvio Berlusconi, he replied: «He has a natural propensity to govern, if he could he would also enter the government. But probably, given that his allies are more inclined towards elections, he cannot do otherwise ». The publisher also had his say on the idea of ​​a national unity executive as a way out of the current crisis: "Excessive piling may not be right, it is right that there should be a majority and an opposition."

In the course of his speech, the president of RCS also addressed the issue of Covid, which has affected him in recent months, in addition to politics. “This is a disease you don't control, unpredictable. One day you seem to be fine and then suddenly your condition gets worse again, ”Cairo said. "Now I'm as good as before, even better," he concluded.

EXTRACT FROM THE CORRIERE DELLA SERA ARTICLE ON THE RT QUESTION IN LOMBARDY:

A number, and precisely the most important for entry into the red zone, in contrast to the other indicators. Strong growth on the one hand, stable numbers on the other. In the Lombardy Region, the question remains in the air for days: how is it possible that we have a Rt – the index that calculates the spread of the virus – at 1.4, while more or less for the same period the Rt on hospitalizations in hospital is below the threshold (0.93), the absolute cases stopped at 13 thousand and odd, the same the infections per 100 thousand inhabitants (at an altitude of 133)? The fact that the RT data taken into consideration by the Ministry of Health is old this time is not enough to explain the situation.

The problem is that the number of cases indicated by the Region on which the Rt is calculated by the Higher Institute of Health is overestimated. More infected than there really are are counted. It seems paradoxical, but it is the truth: among the cases there are also hundreds of healed. They are above all those who from 12 October, according to the new rules of the ministry, can interrupt the isolation between 10 and 21 days from the onset of symptoms without the double negative buffer. All of them in the reports compiled by Cereda appear as people with "onset of symptoms", but without the description of the clinical status (asymptomatic, paucisymptomatic, symptoms). If the field is not filled in, in the absence of information, when they recover, they are not deleted.

In summary: they enter the count, but they never go out. Why does the Lombardy Region not provide a description of the symptoms? "That field is not mandatory, it is wrong to force it", explain from the Prevention offices of the Lombardy Region: "We provide information when the doctors report it to us". In order to overcome the problem in the last few days, the general management of the Lombardy Region decides to fill in that field. In agreement with the Higher Institute of Health. Why only now? The justification: "No one has ever told us before that otherwise the healed would not have been counted."

In the technical annex that accompanies the Lombardy Region's appeal to the TAR, integrated in the last few hours, the Department of Health writes: "So far the overestimation of the RT (which has dragged on since 12 October, ed) has been masked by the most relevant phenomenon in numerical terms of the increase in cases of the second wave (over 300 thousand) – underlines Lombardy -. Therefore this phenomenon has only now been observed, thus highlighting the overestimation of Rt ". In short: so far no one in the Region has noticed the issue. The description of the clinical status was not filled in.

EXTRACT FROM THE REPUBLIC ARTICLE ON RECOVERY PLAN AND PENSIONS:

The European Commission updates the guidelines for accessing the Recovery funds and for Italy the road to EU 209 billion becomes even steeper. The new indications are valid for all countries, but in Europe no one escapes that they are perfectly tailored to the "case of Italy". It is not for nothing that Brussels insists on the need to indicate the reforms that will accompany investments financed by the Union. For Rome it is a question of modernizing the public administration and justice, but also of provisions on pensions and measures to increase the country's competitiveness.

Recovery Plan in Spain, this is how Brussels pushes to reform pensions
