Crowds in Naples described as reckless after winning the Italian Cup

After Napoli beat Juventus in the Coppa Italia final, thousands of citizens took to the streets of Naples to celebrate the title. These celebrations, in which the COVID-19 preventive measures were not followed, have generated a lot of criticism and accusations.

Ranieri Guerra, deputy director of the World Health Organization (WHO), called the massive celebration in the streets of the Italian city as reckless. In statements made on a television program, he said it was “lucky” that this event took place in Naples, where the incidence of the Coronavirus has been lower than in other regions. He stressed that this is not the time to allow this situation.

Guerra recalled that at the beginning of the pandemic, the match between Atlanta and Valencia became a hot spot for spreading the virus. The mayor of Naples, Luigi di Magistris, pointed out that in this case the spread of happiness had won. To date, in the Campania area, of which Naples is the capital, 4,614 people have been infected and 431 have died from the virus.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro Returns to Prison After Supreme Court Denies House Arrest

Brazil: Court bans Bolsonaro from running in elections until 2030

Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro left a hospital in Brasília on Thursday after spending more than a week admitted and returned to prison, after the Supreme Court denied his request for house arrest, an AFP journalist reported.

Bolsonaro, 70, departed the DF Star Hospital under a police motorcycle escort and was transferred back to a small room at a police facility, where he is serving a 27-year sentence for attempting to stage a coup to remain in power after losing the 2022 election to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

The nine-day hospitalization marked Bolsonaro’s first time outside custody since his imprisonment. His legal team had requested house arrest on health grounds following surgery last week for an inguinal hernia, arguing there was a “concrete risk of sudden deterioration” in his condition. He was also treated for recurring bouts of hiccups.

However, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes rejected the request, stating that, contrary to the defense’s claims, there had been no worsening of Bolsonaro’s health condition. The former right-wing leader was admitted to the hospital on December 24 and underwent surgery the following day.
