In addition to the purely numerical level in terms of the presence of parties, political movements and associations, it will really be not a simple “wide head” but an “extralarge camp” the program (Healthcare in the front row), the ideas and interventions to be done and therefore to be implemented on the territory of Calabria for the benefit of the residents, the one present in the agenda of the former president of the INPS, Pasquale Tridico, the candidate for the governor of the center -left in the next regional elections. The data, together, if it is really carried out, to many other contents and proposals, has emerged widely in the context of the feast of the unit in Roccella, in the “heart” of Locride, in the presence of the secretary of the Calabrian Democratic Party Nicola Into.

Before “delivering” the microphone to the two moderators and journalists of the meeting, the head of the “Gazzetta del Sud”, Piero Gaeta and the director of the “South newspaper”, Massimo Razzi, were, after the institutional greetings, both the mayor of Roccella, Vittorio Zito, and the senator Irto, to give the “there” to the meeting.

At the opening, below, Gaeta was, turning directly to Tridico, who immediately raised the decibels of the meeting, bringing out one of the most popular topics, in particular, in the Reggio area: the coveted proxies that the metropolitan city awaits from 11 years from the Calabria Region. An unjustifiable omission that of the Region, this, as the mayor of the city of the Strait, Falcomatà, has been proposed and denounced in recent days, which is causing a large damage to the whole of Reggio area. “If I will be the next governor of Calabria it will be – said the former president of the INPS – one of the first interventions that I will carry out will be this”.

Still stuck by Gaeta and Razzi, the center -left candidate for the presidency of the region, Tridico, criticized the outgoing governor: “Around us there is great enthusiasm and participation by all progressive forces. Occhiuto perhaps expected to find the Calabrians and the opposition forces on vacation: so it was not. He, cynically and opportunisticly, has unleashed an unprecedented crisis, resigning himself and then, however, to recover and therefore hoping to be able to have a plebiscite and thus also be immune to the judicial investigations for corruption. This is not admissible, nor acceptable! ».

Also on the much criticized, by the center -right, proposal of the “Dignity income”, Tridico was clear and direct: “One in two Calabrian is under the threshold of poverty. We are the poorest European region, according to Eurostat. Public policies must be able to take care of these problems. We, however, do not want passive assistance, we want active assistance, we want to build around the dignity income of inclusion and other projects, managed by the Region and the Municipalities “. City on health and services in general:” On the level of territorial health services – said Tridico – the data that emerged in the last 3-4 years are truly disastrous, the worst period of the last 35-40 years. Too many people die waiting for openings of hospitals, ambulances that do not come or arrive and are without doctors ».
