“We will ask the government to set aside 5 billion euros to take all the doctors and nurses who are missing in Calabria.” Healthcare is the central topic for Elly Schlein, who talked last night in Piazza della Resistenza in Crotone, together with Pierluigi Bersani, to support Pasquale Tridico’s candidacy for President of the Region. “The right to health – the words of the secretary of the Democratic Party – must be brought back to the center, the problem of this region are the doctors who go away: today Meloni and the center -right come to promise what have had time to do and have not done”.
In a full square, despite the rain falling copious until a few minutes before the rally, Bersani instead wanted to emphasize two important points that “would be enough in this election campaign to choose Tridico”: “The first – he marked – is the position that this government has towards Palestine. You can’t keep in front of Gaza’s crimes. The other point concerns what Occhiuto did. Because it is a betrayal of the Constitution in which we speak of discipline and honor in carrying out public functions ». According to Bersani, Occhiuto used his voters, halving himself, not giving time to the opponents to organize himself, still asking confidence from the Calabrians despite the serious accusations that the judiciary addresses him: “The institutions do not have swivel doors” added the dem leader.
On the stage of Piazza della Resistenza there were the candidates of Crotone of the center -left, there was the city secretary of the party Anna Giulia Caiazza who opened the rally, there was the regional secretary Nicola Irto who spoke at the opening of the evening: “The right leaves us only rubble. – he said – We should remind Meloni that Calabria does not exist only in the election campaign, because in these years of its government it has completely forgotten about the Calabrians, abandoning this region, out of any initiative “.
Pasquale Tridico also focused on his speech on the health theme: «In Calabria 18 hospitals have been closed, many of those who remain today are construction sites. In Calabria you die at 15 because there are no doctors, we have about 100 stuck ambulances and people die because ambulances do not arrive in time. They say they are doing something, but what? ». Tridico then speaking with journalists wanted to remember significant episodes that occurred in these years of the Occhiuto government as the shipwreck of Cutro in which 94 people died. “We are a people of migrants,” he said before accusing his opponents of having done only catwalks on that occasion. Tridico then cited the long -standing question of Crotone’s remediation. Both tridic and Schlein highlighted the economic depression of the region, remembering that the province of Crotone held the record in Calabria by number of citizenship income recipients, and reaffirming the need for a minimum salary. “We want the Calabrians to cultivate hope, the hope of staying on this land or returning,” said Schlein.
