A NATO field hospital stationed in Italy sent to Luxembourg
An entire field hospital, with dozens of equipment and intensive care beds, owned by NATO and in custody at its bases in Taranto, would take flight to Luxembourg in general silence at the end of March.
"We are deeply disappointed by this behaviour", says the Mayor of Taranto, Rinaldo Melucci, referring to the question put by the MEP Marcello Gemmato (FdI), who reported that he had learned from NATO sources that "the Government of Luxembourg has requested and obtained from the Taranto headquarters, a complete field hospital with 300 beds, 100 of which are equipped with precious intensive care respirators".
The field hospital, intended "to increase the capacity in a precautionary manner" of the CHL for Coronavirus positive patients, will house 300 beds and 100 respirators. On the Luxembourg sites it is stated that "as Luxembourg is a NATO member and host country of the agency, it was able to request it".
If this were indeed the case, it would be shameful, to say the least, that a country like Italy, which at the moment has almost 5000 dead, had bowed to the wishes of the Princedom of Luxembourg. Unfortunately, Italy today is one of the most affected countries in the world and the yellow-red government allows a military hospital, complete with reanimation and lung ventilators, to leave the national territory to be deployed in Luxembourg, is not only disgraceful on a humanitarian level but also a subjugation to NATO, an organization that since its inception has brought nothing but death and destruction in many countries.
The Italian people want immediate explanations from the Minister of Defence because it is unacceptable that at this moment Italy should be deprived of such a valuable field hospital.
