“Since Gallera I don’t feel protected as a Lombard citizen.” The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, returns to the frontal confrontation with the Lombardy council. In the viewer this time is Giulio Gallera, Councilor for Wellbeing, at the center of the controversy in recent days between the municipality and the Region about influenza vaccines, a useful tool for managing the Coronavirus epidemic. It all started with a Facebook post from the city’s Deputy Mayor, Anna Scavuzzo. “The Lombardy Region does not give vaccines to the Milan City Council and we are forced to turn to the private sector,” he wrote. Gallera, questioned by Scavuzzo’s post, responded stating that “the supply problem is national” and that “80% of the doses more than last year were bought in Lombardy.”
“Gallera’s statements border on the ridiculous, in fact they are,” Sala responded today, October 4. “The one who has been involved in politics for many years without anyone noticing and when he had media visibility, and in the middle of a pandemic, thought about running for mayor.” The confrontation was widely echoed, so much so that yesterday, October 3, the League accused the Municipality of “spreading false news,” as the leader of the regional council party, Roberto Anelli, wrote. The Democratic Party, on the other hand, with MEP Francesco Majorino spoke of how “while the public system is slow due to Fontana, the private one organizes and does its own business”.
Gallera’s response
“I consider it an absolute shame to campaign for the health of the most vulnerable,” Gallera replied again with a post on Facebook. “I understand that seeing his image as a man of action and success collapse is very painful – writes the commissioner – to the point of deciding not to run again for fear of losing the elections, but at a critical and delicate moment for the health of our fellow citizens , would require constructive institutional collaboration. However – he adds – it cannot be expected of those who in life have never acted with a ‘spirit of service’ but only out of vanity and personal ambition ».
