The northern region of Lombardy, by
far the worst hit by the coronavirus, has only received "crumbs"
from the central government in Rome for the last month and a
half, Governor Attilio Fontana said Thursday.
"Almost a month and a half have passed since the start of the
epidemic and substantially, we have only been receiving crumbs
from Rome," he told Radio Padania, the broadcaster of his
nationalist League party.
"If we hadn't rolled our sleeves up ourselves, we would have
closed the hospitals within two days.
"The number of masks that were arriving from the civil
protection wouldn't have enabled us to open the hospitals. This
is a disgrace, we only got a small part of what we had
requested."
