The president of the Campania Region Vincenzo De Luca deviates from national choices and decides not to reopen middle and elementary schools after the Christmas break. And the government, according to sources, intends to challenge the order: in case a passage to the Council of Ministers would be necessary.
"It is irresponsible to open schools on January 10 - said De Luca in a live Facebook -. As far as we are concerned, we will not open the middle and elementary schools. There are no minimum safety conditions".
"I have the feeling that measures are being put in place that turn our children into guinea pigs on the altar of politics and opportunism," he added.
In his opinion, Italy “has lost three months of time without doing anything. We have burnt a condition of relative advantage over other European countries. We have self-exalted and self-comforted. We have lost precious months without making serious and effective decisions. We are making fun of Italy. The level of insanity is beyond belief. "
For example "we close the discos but we do nothing to stop the nightlife at the weekend. And then we leave 50% of the attendance in the stadiums. The only serious thing to do is to block the attendance in the stadiums if we want to contain the contagion".
"It is as if in Italy we had had a political and psychological collapse - it is the reasoning - it is as if in the face of the avalanche of infections we had resigned ourselves, we must all take the infection and this becomes an excuse to not take any more decision to contain the spread of the infection ". "Then there is another cliché - he concludes - and that is that all in all it is not very aggressive, the Omicron variant of the Covid variant that the effects for the purposes of the infection are not serious and it is not clear that when you reach 200 thousand infected, the percentage of presences in the hospitals are serious and all the hospitals will be forced to close, which will be only for Covid patients. We have lost our focus on the vaccination campaign and everything has been unloaded on the ASL and on the Regions due to the opportunism of the Government and the political forces that they smooth the hair to the no vax ".
IN THE OTHER REGIONS - There is also concern about reopening elsewhere: "The only novelty on the school front is chaos", argues the president of Veneto, Luca Zaia, explaining that the government decree "imposes testing phases which are All the regions are at the end of the race with the testing phase. We are not talking about the contact test, that is to call home the positives and their contacts. It is useless to throw it into controversy: this is the ability to work and beyond it goes".
On the school front, there are "many quarantined classes, about 2,400 - observed Zaia -; then there are teachers in quarantine, others on sick leave and those not vaccinated. In this primordial soup I don't know what comes out, in the sense that we have I imagine - he stressed - the schools will open on the 10th, the Government has decided that they will have to open and the situation will be that many classes will be closed, others will be in dad because there are no other solutions. outside. The big problem - he concluded - is not the opening of schools but the management of the whole testing and screening phase, which is a scary thing ".
"Since, according to experts, we have not yet reached the peak of infections of this Omicron variant, I believe that if we have not switched to dad by choice, we will get there by necessity", is the opinion of the Lombard president of the Association. National Headmasters, Matteo Loria. "On Monday, when most of the Lombard schools reopen - he adds - it will be like going to Thermopylae".
