I learn from press reports that the Swiss authorities intend to ask Italy for payment of the exorbitant medical expenses that the hospital in Sion would have incurred for the admissions, even for just a few hours, of some boys injured in the Crans-Montana fire. Giorgia Meloni's reaction was very harsh: "I learn from press reports that the Swiss authorities intend to ask Italy for payment of the exorbitant medical expenses that the hospital in Sion would have incurred for the admissions, even for just a few hours, of some boys injured in the Crans-Montana fire. If this despicable request should be formalized - writes Meloni - I announce from now on that Italy will send it back to the sender and will not follow it up at all. I trust in the sense of responsibility of the Swiss authorities and hope that the news turns out to be completely unfounded." #CransMontana #SpeseMediche #GovernoItaliano (translated)

It was precisely Parmelin who told Meloni to "manage the issue on a bilateral level," in a meeting on May 4, on the sidelines of a European political community summit in Armenia. The expenses will be covered for aid to the victims, to the extent that they are not covered by insurance. And Parmelin announced on X: "The expenses will be covered for aid to the victims, to the extent that they are not covered by insurance," and that he confirmed to Prime Minister Meloni "that the Federal Council would examine the issue of billing for hospital services between the interested states, based on current legal provisions." #CransMontana #SpeseMediche #GovernoItaliano (translated)
