There is a date: next May 10. On that day, former prime minister Giuseppe Conte and former health minister Roberto Speranza, who were at the head of the country during the dramatic days of the epidemic, will have to appear before the Brescia Ministerial Court to express their views on the failure to establish. The “red zone” in Alzano and Nembro are countries affected by a very high number of infections.
The accusation is that of a “criminal epidemic”: Prosecutors found Conte and Speranza that they did not immediately take emergency measures for the two municipalities of Bergamo in March 2020, as in the regions of Lodi and Vo’ Eugeneo, thus indirectly killing many citizens.
In fact, it is one of the most controversial episodes of the Covid-19 epidemic, having experienced its most dramatic moment precisely in the Bergamo region. It is a story that has witnessed several months of increased responsibility between the Central State and the Lombardy Region (suspects include the name of District president Attilio Fontana and former Welfare councilor Giulio Gallera) and former allies. . Roberto Speranza declared that he had actually drafted a red zone for the two municipalities in question, but it was never signed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.
Also, based on this evidence, the judges attribute several charges to Conte and Speranza: If the first is accused of failing to establish the red zone in the two Bergamo municipalities, Speranza is “only” accused of not implementing the pandemic plan, never updated since 2006. According to experts from the Bergamo prosecutor’s office, failure to create a “red zone” in Alzano and Nembro could have caused up to 4,000 deaths.
