Giorgia Meloni spoke out in an interview about the abundance of news about her personal life. The topic gives rise to discussion in the episode of Otto e mezzo, a La7 talk show by Lilli Gruber, on December 6th. Mario Sechi, director of Libero, sides with the Prime Minister: “Autobiographies are a completely normal thing for a politician. You are a Prime Minister who has also become a pop icon, that’s how it is whether you like it or not. What is not normal is the very clear and visible attempt to put his family in a bad light; His mother, father and the family homes were investigated. The landlady asks for an explanation: “Who is putting them in a bad light?” The journalist replies: “The press is oriented or almost left-wing, let’s be honest, I can quote pages from Repubblica and Stampa, but the political motive, constantly trying to grab the Prime Minister was there.” We wanted to consume it from a public image perspective, there was Tomorrow too. There are ways and means to do this job, there was an attempt to swallow Meloni and undermine his leadership. The reality is that this operation failed.

Gruber tries to urge his guest again: “But why is he complaining?” “He is right to complain because there is an intention that is violent, absolutely against him,” replies Sechi. The debate is interrupted and then a few seconds later there is the intervention of Massimo Giannini, the former director of La Stampa: “As in France, here too you will not find any articles about the details of the president’s private and everyday life.” “Trasecolous” says Sechi, laughing, while Gruber tries to stop him immediately: “Nobody has to be surprised here.”
