Protests in Desenzano over the management of the new public hospital followed a closed-door meeting convened by Mayor Guido Malinverno. During the gathering, the ten mayors present were imposed with a “gag order” regarding the construction (or reconstruction) of the hospital funded by Pnrr resources. Reactions were swift: opposition councilors denounced this unacceptable attitude, which undermines transparency and citizen participation.
The committee “Let’s Keep the Hospital of Desenzano on Montecroce” gathered over 200 people at its first assembly, demanding clarity on the decisions made and criticizing the fact that some mayors accepted the silence mandate. The situation raises questions about the real motivations behind this secrecy and the trust of citizens in the hospital project.
