Newly appointed minister

Today Professor Ferrucio Fazio has been appointed to the newly created role of Minister of Health. He has received strong  support by his party's MPs, but also by  medical associations and business unions. In the last months he managed to prepare for the pandemic of swine flu, and many people owe that to him.
Things are going quite well,  especially in North Italy. In the southern regions, in Campania, Puglia and Calabria there's the highest death toll.
