The Italian press reported on the resignation of the Minister of Health, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, announced by President Jair Bolsonaro, this Thursday (16).
O jornal La Repubblica highlighted that “Mandetta was forced to resign because he wanted tougher measures in the fight against coronavirus. In his place, an oncologist loyal to the president.”
In an extensive report, the Rome newspaper noted that "over the weeks, Mandetta gained popularity, overshadowing his former leader, who saved him from an old corruption investigation."

In the same vein, the TG24 owned by Sky, one of Italy’s leading news channels, summarized that Mandetta’s ouster had been in the air for days. “He resigned after open conflicts with Bolsonaro over how to deal with the pandemic,” it published.
