The omelette is "already prepared" and the controversy between the regional councilor for health, Carlo Doria, and all the opposition in the regional council is served. Reason for the new clash are the statements of the exponent of Giunta Solinas during a city council in Ozieri .
There was talk of a health emergency in northern Sardinia and an imminent meeting was announced with the general directors of the health companies and with the "majority" regional councilors, said Doria, "who can get the omelette ready for those of the opposition". Because, it was his thesis, they would take advantage of the opportunity to spark controversy.
Problem: the session was streamed and these words went around Sardinia.
«Chilling statements», for Desirè Manca, Daniele Cocco, Gianfranco Ganau, Gian Franco Satta and Antonio Piu: «Councillor Doria is not a representative of the Sardinian people elected by the citizens, but he is a technician appointed by President Solinas, and cannot assume the right not to convene to any meeting anyone who has been democratically elected by the Sardinian people to represent that people», they unanimously accuse. The commissioner, they continue, «convened a closed municipal council, in which no citizen and no representative of the world of health could speak, but only the municipal councilors, thus eliminating any possibility of contradiction. No one could have, not even on that occasion, criticized the company deed presented», they attack, «a deficient act compared to what were the expectations of the Ozieri hospital, considering that they did not set up the complex structure, not even granted to the department of Ophthalmology, which is closing, and to Radiology, the only one that does interventional surgery in the Province of Sassari».
Accused, the commissioner tries to explain: «In a policy open to frank and honest discussion on issues of extreme importance such as public health, I have always hoped for the most shared understanding with all the political forces, also because I have always maintained that good health care is not right or left but good and that's it. Unfortunately», he underlines, «the electoral campaign has obviously already begun and therefore I have had ample proof of the lack of interest on the part of the opposition in general, and of some regional councilors in particular, in finding shared solutions, but rather in trying to denigrate what a lot of effort is being made to try to improve health care ».
Then the lunge. For Doria there are exponents of the opposition who «sometimes even go so far as to "use the most 'fragile' patients such as cancer patients for propaganda purposes. I want to recall a press conference of 5 January 2023 held by the regional councilors of the opposition in Sassari in which it was declared that the failure to activate the Usca due to "unholy choices" by councilor Doria had created health chaos when there had been a national ban on their activation, which I had also communicated to the regional health commission ".
Therefore "I have no problem in highlighting the difficulties of dialogue with this opposition, but I am always ready for confrontation if open and fair", is the conclusion.
