Covid, Toma (Molise): “The lockdown does not make sense, better to act in a surgical way”
On the fight against Covid, the hard line of the Regions has passed, how have you convinced Prime Minister Draghi?
“The line of firmness and common sense, which is characterizing the action of the Draghi Government and the Regions, has passed. There is great agreement between the parties in the supreme interest of protecting the health and economic security of Italians. Italy it is withstanding the impact of the fourth wave better than others. Thanks to the measures envisaged and the great collaboration of the population. Nobody wants to go back to a year ago. A few more sacrifices and we get out of it “.
Do you think that in Italy we should get the compulsory vaccine for everyone?
“I believe in the principle of progressivity. The green pass has worked well. The reinforced green pass is necessary at the moment. If in the future there is a need to evaluate further measures to avoid returning to generalized lockdowns, we will evaluate and decide”.
Do you feel you can rule out a generalized lockdown like in Austria?
“The lockdown at the moment makes no sense in any Italian region. We can act surgically without compromising the economic recovery. Let’s look at the data, without chasing sensationalism. There are very virtuous regions, like our Molise, first in the administration of third doses. Italy must continue to protect itself as well as it is doing “.
Turning to politics, do you believe that President Berlusconi really has a chance of becoming the next President of the Republic?
“President Berlusconi is a statesman, he governed the country for 10 years, has international relations and has accustomed us to his strokes of political genius. Obviously I would be one of his great voters, I have a lot of confidence in his skills as a mediator and in his institutional experience. , now regrets even on the left. It would be a magnificent solution. But we will talk about it later, today is premature “.
Should the legislature go until 2023? Are you afraid of elections next year?
“As the center-right we have been ready to vote for at least two years. That said, I believe we will reach 2023, it would be desirable to guarantee stability especially in a phase like this”.
Will the Center Right be united in the next elections? Can Salvini or Meloni aspire to become prime minister?
“The center-right will certainly be united in the next elections, only in this way can we win, as taught by the regional laboratory in Molise which, I remember, took place a month and a half away from the 2018 policies. But the goal is not just to win . We must govern well, for an entire legislature and give stability to the country. It will be Premier, as a culture consolidated in the center-right, the leader, or the relative expression, of the party that will have one more vote than the others “.
