Conte and the Covid Commission: transparency does not work with the safeguard clause

The article discusses Giuseppe Conte's reluctance to fully address his role in the post-Covid inquiry commission, particularly regarding mask supply decisions. It criticizes Conte for maintaining a dual stance—demanding transparency when questioned by others but responding with accusations of conspiracy and personal attacks when confronted directly by his own office. The piece argues that Conte’s strategy of resigning from the commission to gain attention does not resolve the political conflict, as it frames him more as a victim than a responsible leader. The author emphasizes that the inquiry should hold all parties accountable, including Conte and other officials, for their actions during the pandemic. The article also challenges the narrative that the inquiry was solely a right-wing attack, noting that some opposition parties, like Italia Viva, supported its creation.
