The Health Councilor of the Puglia Region, Rocco Palese, has resigned. Palese himself announced it, explaining that “considering the current political situation, I thought it appropriate to formalize my resignation as councilor, also in the hope that this could favor a quicker solution that would allow the regional government to resume and continue working for the good of of the citizens of Puglia”. The first step towards the reshuffle that should see the light tomorrow.
“I thank President Emiliano for his never wavering trust in me and I renew my respect for him. My contribution to this regional government – says Palese – has always been of an exclusively technical nature, certainly not political, but precisely because I understand the difficulty of the current political situation, with the same spirit of service with which I agreed to join the council, I have resigned.”
“I thank – he adds – the director and all the employees and collaborators of the Health department with whom we have carried out considerable work in these two years. I believe I have made a contribution in the name of commitment always made with discipline and honour, of dedication and protection of the regional health service, producing universally recognized results: in a short time we have almost eliminated the health deficit and brought the Puglia Region into conditions to exit the recovery plan. I hope, and I am certain, that President Emiliano will be able to make the best choices to continue on this path not only in the health field and always with the good of the people of Puglia as his sole objective.
