Giorgia Meloni faces criticism for faces in Parliament: “Face covered? I responded ironically, I didn't want to intimidate.”

“I note the tumult of various opposition deputies because to the words that the leader of the Greens Bonelli addressed to me in the House, “don't look at me with a worrying look”, I responded ironically by covering my face so as not to arouse anxiety in my colleague. I don't know what he meant by “disturbing look”, but I apologize to my colleague and to anyone else who might feel intimidated.” These are the words of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni after the gesture made to the Chamber of Deputies, to hide in his jacket in front of the declarations of the deputy in the chamber. The facets of the Prime Minister were found almost everywhere, even abroad, on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Bonelli: “Am I intimidated? The problem is the institutional posture, which you don’t have.”

“Am I intimidated? No. The problem is not even in the excuses, the fact is that when the Prime Minister comes to the House, he must be Prime Minister and have an institutional posture, which she does not have. Yesterday in the House I spoke about very serious issues, the tragedy in Gaza and the frankly annoying expression of the Prime Minister, which is not visible in any hall of Parliament, in Europe and in the world. Grimaces, jokes, looks when talking about relevant topics… no. You may agree or disagree, but you listen and then you respond. However, I do not feel intimidated, I have never been intimidated by anyone, but I invite you to adopt an institutional posture when you come to the Chamber”, responded Angelo Bonelli, commenting on the Prime Minister's message to AdnKronos.
