The Court of Auditors lashes out at Meloni: “Shameful waiting lists”
The conviction of the accounting magistrates
The accounting magistrates condemn without appeal the biblical times with which citizens have access to care and warn Salvini on the seaside resorts: it is the last exception
Waiting lists in public healthcare have reached rock bottom . So much so that the Court of Auditors speaks bluntly of a shameful situation. “ It is necessary to put the healthcare professional (the doctor and the nurse) back at the center of the 'health village' so that, adequately remunerated, they can be decisive in the decision-making and management processes of the facilities responsible for care. The revaluation of human capital would also be functional to the reduction of the shameful, for a civilized country, phenomenon of waiting lists, while at the same time ensuring the best uniformity of services throughout the national territory ”. Words and music of the Attorney General of the Court of Auditors Pio Silvestri in his closing speech at the Equalization Trial.
But the attacks launched by the accounting judges against the government do not end there. In fact, the beach resorts so dear to the Brothers of Italy and to Matteo Salvini's League are also in the crosshairs. It is " hoped that - says Pio Silvestri - the further appropriate period of extension" of the beach concessions "will actually be the last and that, in the tender phase, scrupulous supervision will be put in place to avoid, or at least contain, the infiltration of organized crime in the procedures. It will require constant synergy between the judiciary, administrative authorities and police forces". Not only extension, in the cahier de doleances of the Court of Auditors, the now consolidated phenomenon of concessions at rock-bottom prices deserves a significant chapter. “While waiting for an assessment by the European authorities – continues the Attorney General – it must be noted that the principle of the remuneration of the concession for the granting body has been given very little value, a principle which – he underlines – would certainly not be out of tune with public accounting legislation, which for active contracts requires recourse to public auctions in order to maximise tax revenue”.
In short, Silvestri asks and wonders, like all Italians who are not called Salvini: why does the State grant public beaches at ridiculous prices, which nevertheless yield so much good to private individuals? Of some importance, in the aftermath of the noose agreement with NATO that will force Italy to spend 100 billion a year in defense and armaments within a few years for a total of 5% of GDP, is also the comment of the president of the coordination of the sections united in the control of the Court of Auditors, Enrico Flaccadoro - " Maintaining spending within the growth channel agreed in the medium-term budget structural plan - said the magistrate - will be decisive, also for the effort that will be required in the coming years to guarantee appropriate support to workers who will suffer most from the effects of the crises induced by the profound technological changes underway".
