Razza alla Salute returns, the reactions from Fava to Barbagallo

PALERMO – “There were and are many reasons for opportunity that should have suggested to Musumeci not to decide on the return of Ruggero Razza to the head of the Health Department. But over these obvious reasons, the will to bend the Sicily’s interest in the political needs of the president of the region. All this after leaving, in the hottest months of the vaccination campaign, the department and the regional car without a guide. ” This is the comment of the President of the Regional Anti-Mafia Commission Claudio Fava on the return of Ruggero Razza to the Regional Council. For Fava, “on the eve of a new appointment season, the only true glue of the regional government, Musumeci had to prove that he was still at the helm of a coalition that no longer exists, with a government that produces only the division of seats and not a only single act in the interest of the Sicilians. ”

“The Musumeci-Razza alla Salute relay closes in the worst possible way on the day the Republic is celebrated: the dolphin is in fact back on the command deck of the Health Department, as Musumeci informs us with a press release, after weeks of whispers and cleverly orchestrated social campaigns. The Democratic Party has always been critical of Ruggero Razza’s management of healthcare in Sicily regardless of the judicial investigation in which he is involved and from which we wish him to come out unscathed ». This was stated by the regional secretary of PD Sicily, Anthony Barbagallo. “There are dozens of parliamentary acts presented to denounce the inefficiencies of the health system in Sicily – continues Barbagallo – wanted by Razza, whose mistrust we also asked for in his first mandate. Our perplexities – he adds – were reinvigorated during the interim of Musumeci who has never deigned to come to ARS to answer and discuss the leaks recorded in the management of the covid emergency but also in hospitals with entire ordinary wards left to themselves, without doctors and few health personnel. It’s just a question. of power and armchairs: Sicily sinks but with the return of Razza Musumeci is happy, all the rest does not count ».

‘The renaming of Race? Indecent: yet another act of selfishness by Musumeci who puts his own interests and those of his reapplication in the foreground before those of public health and the Sicilians. This act of arrogance confirms, where needed, that when the president moves he does only damage. We would like to say, better when he is in trance, as usual ». This was stated by the group leader of the M5S at Ars Giovanni Di Caro and the 5-star members of the Health Commission of the Norman palace, Francesco Cappello, Giorgio Pasqua, Salvatore Siragusa and Antonio De Luca. “Given – say the 5-star deputies – that the returning commissioner had to be put aside even before the investigation by the judiciary for his manifest inability, so much so as to make the opposition present a motion of censure against him, we do not understand what has changed from the moment of his resignation to today. At this point we wonder why Musumeci accepted them, now making this reverse that knows yet another mockery to the Sicilians. Razza in any case remains the councilor who was aware of the fact that the denominator was artfully altered of the relationship between positive swabs and swabs carried out. In light of this, what credibility can such a councilor have? “
