"It would be easy to indulge in foul language. The hints of irony on the president of the Campania Region, the Lucanian Vincenzo De Luca, said with the utmost respect towards hard-working and cultured people like the inhabitants of Basilicata, could be many and have an easy impact on the population. But the meaning of the institutions forces us to make a precise reply, which we entrust to the substance of incontrovertible numbers. Last week, the Neapolitan pages of a newspaper had the headline: 'Healthcare, Campania black jersey: it is the worst in the South, patients fleeing for treatment'. This is the journalistic synthesis of a reality of malaise that denies the people of Campania the right to treatment, despite the presence of a high quality medical and paramedical class. As reiterated several times, Campania was unable to spend the majority of the 2014-2020 Development and Cohesion Funds, as certified by the State General Accounting Office: only 3,5 billion euros out of the total of 9,3 billion allocated, equal to 37 %. But not even getting around is easy for the citizens of Campania, with the daily inconveniences of the Circumvesuviana, under everyone's eyes, testifying to Deluch's mismanagement also in the transport sector".
The Minister of Culture declares it, Gennaro Sangiuliano, which adds:
"What is jarring is the comparison between De Luca's verbal inefficiency and our active industriousness. The regeneration of the Floridiana Park, which occurred in a few months, is a fact. As is the opening of the construction site of the Real Albergo dei Poveri in Palazzo Fuga, which will become the largest cultural infrastructure in Europe, and of the Caruso Museum, inaugurated at Palazzo Reale. At the moment the Ministry of Culture is involved in dozens of interventions for Campania. Among these: the former Cirio factory in Paestum where the Museum of the Sanctuary of Santa Venera will be set up thanks to an allocation of 20 million euros with CIPE funds; the Villa Favorita in Ercolano, at the center of an important restoration financed for 32 million euros by the PNRR funds of the MiC and for 12 million euros by the State Property Agency and the PON Culture and Development FESR 2014-2020; the recovery of the Roman villa in Positano; the restoration of historic churches such as Santa Maria a Piazza di Forcella and Donnaregina Vecchia with a residue of PNRR funds; the recovery of the Girolamini Complex, nearing completion; the creation of a theater with multimedia spaces for young people in Caivano; the purchase of the Monte della Pietà building; the major intervention for Capodimonte, for which 40 million euros are earmarked; the reopening of the “Roman Campania” section at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples; the redevelopment of the Politeama Theater in San Cipriano Picentino with MiC funds; the table for the Egyptian Museum in Benevento; the redevelopment of the former Spolettificio of Torre Annunziata, which will host reception services and an exhibition section of the archaeological area of Oplontis. We are not interested in fueling a patronage system made up of festivals useful only to gather consensus, but we want to create permanent structures capable of raising the quality of life of the citizens of Campania".
