Ok from the House to the Covid Commission. Conte embraces Speranza and attacks: “Act of cowardice”

The commission of inquiry into the management of the pandemic will: the House approved, amid controversy, the bill with 172 votes in favor, 4 abstentions and no against. The ball now passes to the Senate for the final go-ahead. The day in Montecitorio was marked by protests from the oppositions – “shame” was heard several times from the benches of the M5s and the Democratic Party, two of the parties in government during the Covid emergency, which denounced the political exploitation by the majority.

“As you have packaged it, this commission of inquiry is an insult and a slap in the face to Italians and health personnel, to all those who have been in the trenches,” said former Prime Minister Conte in his speech, after which the M5s has abounded the House.”I accuse you before the Italian people: this commission is a farce, it is not an act of political courage but of cowardice”, continued the pentastellato leader, according to which “this commission of inquiry is a political firing squad with two names: Giuseppe Conte and Roberto Speranza”. The prime minister at the time of the red-yellow executive also recalled how the Brescia court of ministers has already filed all charges on the management of the pandemic against him and those against the former health minister. The two embraced in the classroom, as seen in the video recorded by the Northern League deputy Rossano Sasso.

“I vindicate what I did. It’s not the result of a government, but of a country. We weren’t the ones changing lines every minute: ‘open, close, open, close. We weren’t the ones throwing fuel on the fire for those suffering for the closures with protest demonstrations, or weren’t we the ones who winked at the No vax for a few votes, and I repeat it here today: vaccines have saved the lives of millions of people “, marked Roberto Speranza in his speech. Unlike the grillini, the Democratic Party remained in the Chamber even though it did not participate in the vote, while at the end of the vote the majority deputies cheered with the cry of “truth-truth”.
