Codeluppi launches his Porsche to 252 km/h: the video sparks controversy, saying, "I was in Germany; there are no speed limits there."

A video shared on social media by Vittorio Codeluppi , recently appointed president of the Lodigiana Water Company , is causing a stir. The footage shows the speedometer of his Porsche reading 252 km/h on the highway .

The video sparked harsh political reactions in Lodi: the Lega, Fratelli d'Italia, and civic opposition lists called the gesture "inappropriate" and "uneducational," especially from someone holding public office.

Codeluppi responded with a note: "I apologize if the video has sparked controversy, but I would like to point out that I was on a motorway in Germany, where – as is known – there are no speed limits ."

The episode has sparked heated debate online, with some defending it by arguing that it's legal in Germany, while others criticize it for the message it conveys to citizens.
