On the eve of April 25, Italy's Liberation Day, MP Vittorio Sgarbi, in a shocking statement from Parliament, said that the death toll in Italy is not real.
" We are on the eve of April 25 and we must be united against dictatorships and united for the truth. Not on February 26, but on March 9, science said the virus was more or less a flu. That science was what said that. It's documented, you can find it, but don't lieâ?¦. You gave me the numbers, I gave you the numbers too. It was said 25 thousand dead, this is not true! Do not use the dead for rhetoric and terrorism. Data from the Institute of Health say 60 percent died from other pathologies. That is the truth, " said MP Sgarbi.
Although the remarks started after the MP's statements, he went on to mention figures from the Institute of Health. According to him, the data of this institute say that 60 percent of the mortality has died from concomitant diseases.
Comparing the situation in Italy with that in Germany, Sgarbi said that in the latter, the economy, health and schools will function normally starting from May 4: â?? We are a country with fewer rights in Europe. Germany has provided evidence of force. We have been humiliated once again by Germany, even in this disease. We closed 60 percent of businesses. I'm giving you the data, go and check. "
" At least here we are telling the truth, to measure ourselves against Germany, to be united against hypocrisy and lies, against falsifications, against the false numbers given to terrorize the Italians. "25,000 dead," said Professor Bassetti, "died of heart attacks, cancer and other diseases ."
