The city and regional councilor Antonello Talico returns to the theme of the new hospital in Catanzaro. In a clear declaration, on the occasion of today’s press conference, on the sidelines of the city council (jumping), reiterating its position: the new health garrison must arise in the capital, and the current Apulian hospital must be maintained in its current location, benefiting from the adaptation interventions already financed for around 40 million euros.
This did not spare criticism from the municipal administration and the mayor Nicola Fiorita, after the city council dedicated to healthcare has “skipped” due to the lack of the legal number. “Fiorita does not even have the numbers to get to the quorum – said Talerico – and the Democratic Party in the press has publicly denied the motion of the mixed group and its municipal councilors in the Council, which together with the mayor Fiorita – more and more alone – they are now dictated the political line from the same mixed group, emerging a financ inability to express a clear position also on the hospital issue”.
Moreover, both the councilor Celia and Veraldi, signatories of the same motion as the mixed group would have requested – on the sidelines of the city council – the resignation of the mayor, confirming that the municipal administration is now at the total disarray.
The center -left and the mixed group of Fiorita, did not want any comparison, deposited an incorrect motion and that would not have produced any results and without discussing it with anyone. They limited themselves to convening a city council only to demand its vote.
According to this, Fiorita would have hidden behind a motion that would have effectively made the realization of the new hospital in Catanzaro impossible. “A contradictory motion, full of inaccuracies – he added – who pretended to want to save the Apulian, but who actually would have compromised everything”.
One of the contested points concerns the doubts raised by some “majority” councilors on the financial coverage of the work. “The funds are there and are attested by official documents – clarified Talerico – such as the program agreement and the relative supplementary signed with the Ministry of Health on June 4, 2024, the resolutions of the CIPE, the DCA 229/2023, the decrees of the Ministries of Health and the Budget, in addition to the deliberative acts of INAIL. Continuing to ask for documents already public and available for years is an act of serious disinformation that connotes the action of the signatories of the signatories of improvisation and poor deepening “.
This then pointed the finger at the Councilor Capellupo, accusing him of “continuously feeding a parochial and conspiracy narration only to mask the umpteenth fool of the municipal majority, which is not only divided, but is not even able to open a city council on the most important topic for the city”.
Fiorita’s strategy is the usual, after yet another failure he asks his councilors to go out in the press to tell the usual story always accusing the others of his administrative failures.
In fact, to date, neither Occhiuto nor the City Council of Catanzaro, nor have the city lucky enough to know what the mayor’s position is. Despite this, Fiorita always tries the discredit card on others, always entrusting the responsibility that should be of his government!
From the background of the date council of today, a climate stretched within the majority of Fiorita also emerges. According to reports, during an internal meeting that took note of the lack of the legal number – the discussions would degenerate to the point that the screams would also be audible outside.
In conclusion, Talerico recalled what has already been said in April to the President of the Region and Commissioner to Health, Roberto Occhiuto: “The Apulian has guaranteed assistance and care to date without any criticality linked to its location. Moving it would be a mistake that would risk compromising a system that works. The integration between the two companies, Mater Domini and Apulian-Ciaccio, must be a choice shared with the city and useful to enhance the health offer, not to enhance the health offer. reduce it. “
