“The De Luca era is finally coming to an end, but now we will have to roll up our sleeves. At the end of his mandate, the current governor will hand over a land that, due to his personal policies, has taken too many steps backwards. It is our task to restore dignity to our region, starting immediately with healthcare”. This is what the M5S regional councillor Valeria Ciarambino underlines in a note. “De Luca will no longer be commissioner – she explains – we are about to erase the paradox of the double role with a stroke of the sponge. And the choice of who will replace him can never fall on any of De Luca’s nominees, children of a system that is the origin of the disasters that the citizens of Campania are still paying for on their own skin. Names chosen on the basis of a wicked law that has rewarded political affiliation and loyalty to the banner of armchair politics”. “The new commissioner,” he adds, “can never be one of the current general managers appointed by De Luca himself, people whose actions we as the 5 Star Movement have been harshly attacking for years, in light of the terrible results of their management and the quality of care that has fallen miserably to the bottom of the country.” “We prevented De Luca from dismantling an excellence like the Maternal and Infantile Center of the Ospedale del Mare,” Ciarambino recalls, “we forced him to backtrack on the dismantling of the Sant’Agata Emergency Room, we nailed him to his responsibilities regarding the birth centers of Polla and Sapri, penalized by a serious lack of planning and organization. We are now ready to collaborate with the new commissioner to also put a stop to the work of downgrading and closing facilities and departments. We will fight for new criteria for appointing managers and we will nail them to their responsibilities if ants besiege patients, if it rains in the departments or if they are closed for a party. We will contribute to making the control actions of the procurement procedures effective, so that cases like those at Pascale and Ospedale del Mare are never repeated, with drugs and life-saving equipment purchased at prices up to 300 times higher than the market price. Scandals in the face of which those who have a top and responsible role should be shown the door, to make room for serious and honest professionals appointed for competence, curriculum and with transparency procedures".
