Lombardy, jogging and posting photos on social networks: controversy over councilor Gallera. “He broke the rules when he left Milan”

The photos that the Lombardy Councilor for Welfare did not go unnoticed, Giulio Gallera, posted on his social media profiles Sunday afternoon. In the images he appears with 4 other friends while jogging along the Martesana Channel, a channel that starts from Milan and crosses several municipalities of the interior until the Adda. “Today 20 km along the Martesana channel – the marathon is a teacher of life – grit your teeth and don’t give up, ”Gallera wrote on Facebook. But the controversy broke out immediately: on the one hand there are those who accuse him of having gone out for a group run (friends appear in two photos taken at different points of the channel) despite the fact that the anti-Covid rules expressly prohibit it, on the other . there are those who affirm that it has violated the restrictions of movement between municipalities. Lombardy is in fact in orange zone and Gallera could not leave Milan except in case of health, work or necessity (for example, for activities related to his institutional and political role).

“In the orange zone it is forbidden to practice sports in groups and to leave the municipality to practice sports. Councilor Gallera managed to violate two rules and put everything on his Instagram profile ”, writes the writer and actor, for example. Giulio Cavalli. In fact, among the photos uploaded online, there is also a smartphone screenshot di Gallera in which the trip that he himself would have traveled: from the map it appears that the Milan border has been crossed at Cascina Gobba in the direction Vimodrone-Cernusco sul Naviglio. The story did not go unnoticed even in Pirellone: ​​”Gallera violated two rules of the orange zone in one fell swoop, immortalizing everything on his Instagram profile,” is the reaction of the regional councilor for the Democratic Party. Pietro Bussolati. “This happens while the Lombards immense sacrifices to get out of a situation also caused by the many mistakes and messes of Gallera and associates. The restrictions weigh heavily on everyone, because we are making a brutal effort to respect them, but given the situation they are inevitable. Gallera and Fontana are arrogant and with these behaviors they do not honor Lombardy ”.
