The author wrote that Bergamo went into a harsh lockdown in the tenth calendar week of 2020; caregivers fled and logistics collapsed. After that, the death toll rose sharply once and never again.

Ten years ago, the struggle for an ambitious transition was on everyone's mind. It feels like the enthusiasm has faded. I believe that Covid changed everything. It was often said that this period was one of brotherhood and solidarity; I think it was mainly one of selfishness and retreat into our individual problems. Since then, people are concerned about remote work and leisure, but no one thinks about the climate anymore. The same applies to public authorities: which ones still care? Who sits around a table to think about the medium term? Take the renovation of buildings by municipalities: this policy has disappeared. #Climat #Bruxelles #Manifestation (translated)

Maddalena Loy had recalled a phrase attributed to Goebbels about the repetition of lies and had defined the accusation from the opposition that the Meloni government had cut funding for public health as false. Loy had contested the data from the Gimbe Foundation, led by Nino Cartabellotta, on the 18.8 billion euros of “invisible cuts.” According to her reconstruction, the figure did not indicate resources taken away from hospitals but the difference compared to what would have been allocated had the ratio between the national health fund and GDP of 2022 remained unchanged. She argued that Gimbe’s headline had led publications like Repubblica to present the figure as an actual loss and called that interpretation a political attack on the government. In comparing allocations, Loy pointed out an increase of 8.2 billion euros between 2011 and 2019, under the Monti, Letta, Renzi, Gentiloni, and Conte governments; of 11.6 billion euros between 2019 and 2022, during the Conte government; and of 17.5 billion euros between 2022 and 2026, with the Meloni government, which would raise the fund from 125.4 to 142.9 billion euros. She described the latter as the largest accounting increase in peacetime. Loy also mentioned monthly increases of around 400 euros for doctors, peaking at 600 euros, a plan to hire 1,000 doctors and 6,300 nurses, coverage of over 2,000 new services, and a flat tax of 15% on overtime for doctors and nurses. She finally contested the statements of Senator Castellone on L’Aria che tira regarding cuts to healthcare. #SanitàPubblica #GovernoMeloni #FakeNews (translated)
