Son: “The uniform? I hope it is reassuring, for me a pride”

“I hope this uniform will reassure you. This uniform is a uniform which for me means over 40 years of commitment, passion and pride”. General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, commissioner for the Coronavirus emergency, said this at ‘Di Martedì’ on La7. “I am an ordinary person who was lucky enough, with so much sacrifice and so much passion, to win a competition at the Military Academy, to commit myself, to study, to work in the field and do organizational activities, to reach the top of my armed force – added Figliuolo – I have always been at the service of Italy, of my country, and in all the activities in Italy and abroad I saw so many people especially in the most tortured places in the world and when they saw a uniform, especially the uniforms. of the Italian military, saw justice and protection “. “Why was a military man chosen? I think we needed a person who quickly decides based on the ability to know how to do operational and logistical planning, keeping in mind all the variables that fall into a field as complex as that of the national vaccination campaign”, answered Figliuolo. .
