“I blame” the unvaccinated Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, referring to the management of the coronavirus pandemic by his government.
“Our hospitals are under pressure again because of the unvaccinated citizens. “We approved the compulsory vaccination of citizens over the age of 50, because they are at greater risk,” said the Italian prime minister.
At the same time, he reminded that in the intensive care units of the country, two thirds of the patients with coronavirus have not been vaccinated, and that 50% of the patients with Covid-19 who are in the hospital wards are not vaccinated.
“These figures can be understood even more immediately, if we mention that the unvaccinated, in total, do not exceed 10% of the population over 12 years old”, added the Italian Minister of Health, Roberto Speranza.
The Italian technocrat prime minister also explained that his government had decided to reopen schools on Monday because the widespread and long-term use of e-learning “creates inequalities that could have a negative effect on the future work of of people “.
“The use of e-learning will certainly increase, but it can not be the rule. “What would it mean, after all, to close schools, but for the children to go to the gym regularly or go for pizza at night?” Draghi asked. Italian Education Minister Patricio Bianchi explained that 99.2% of Italian teachers have been vaccinated.
The head of the Italian government again called on all Italians to be vaccinated and confirmed that, in the coming weeks, many vaccination centers in the country will remain open overnight.

As in questions, at the same time, concerning the possible, according to many analysts, candidacy and election. “The government majority has an appetite for work, I can say that the government is moving forward effectively,” said only the Italian prime minister.
Finally, he was in favor of European initiatives to reduce the price of energy, with joint moves by a number of countries, for the mass purchase of energy stocks. “In the end, perhaps, only a group of countries could decide. “Those who agree to take the initiative,” concluded Mario Draghi.
