French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin came under fire in the press and on social media for apparently breaking government lockdown rules that people can only go out to take exercise within a kilometre of their homes, Reuters reports. French daily La Voix du Nord and several other media reported that Darmanin went for a jog with his bodyguards on Sunday along the Roubaix canal well over a kilometre away from his home in Tourcoing in northern France.

People can be fined 135 euros for breaking the rule.

“Double standards?” La Voix du Nord wrote.

“Prohibitions are for paupers and miserable mortals, the Olympians above us are exempt,” one Twitter user wrote. “The law does not apply to the marquis,” another tweeted.
