The mayor of Milan intervenes in the long-distance controversy between the Municipality and the Region on the doses destined for the Lombard capital. The councilor for welfare replies: “The mayor campaigns on health”
Gallera: “Room chilling, campaigning on health” Immediate reply arrived from the councilor for Welfare of the Region, Giulio Gallera. “I consider it an absolute shame to campaign on the health of the most vulnerable”. The commissioner spoke of a “chilling” thing about an “electoral move” or that of “giving vaccines to healthy municipal employees by taking them away from the elderly, cancer patients and pregnant women and all this to obtain their consent to the elections municipal next year “.
“I understand that seeing your image as a man of action and success collapse is very painful, to the point of deciding not to reapply for fear of losing the elections, but in a critical and delicate moment for the health of our fellow citizens – he added – a constructive institutional collaboration would be necessary, however, it cannot be expected from those who in life have never acted with a ‘spirit of service’ but only out of vanity and personal ambition “.
On Saturday the clash between Palazzo Marino and Lombardy had ignited. “The Region does not give flu vaccines to the Municipality”, said Deputy Mayor Anna Scavuzzo, speaking of the “turnaround of the Lombardy Region which admits that it cannot deal with a massive vaccination of the population because it does not have enough vaccine doses”. The words of Scavuzzo were followed by Gallera’s reply: “It is really sad that the deputy mayor of Milan is bending his institutional position to an unjustified and instrumental political controversy. Lombardy will cover for free, like all other regions, with the flu vaccine the target groups of the population established by the Ministry of Health “.
