Catanzaro officials oppose moving new hospital to Germaneto

A political dispute has intensified in Catanzaro regarding the location of the city’s new hospital. Local representatives and supporters of the historic Pugliese facility are opposing a proposal to relocate the hospital to the Germaneto area.

City Council members, including Daniela Palaia, have asserted that the Council has already expressed a clear position to maintain and enhance the existing Pugliese site. This stance follows public comments from Regional Vice President Filippo Mancuso, which critics argue disregard the democratic will of the local administration. The debate involves technical feasibility, logistical concerns, and the preservation of the social and economic stability of the neighborhood surrounding the current hospital.
