Italian-Israeli journalist Rula Zebreal, in her social media post, mentioned the past of her father Giorgia Meloni, whose faction came first in the 25 electionsher September.
“During the election campaign, Georgia Meloni, Italy’s new prime minister, wanted to play a video of rape footage saying asylum seekers are criminals who want to replace white Christians. Ironically, Meloni’s father is a drug dealer/criminal who was convicted and served time in prison,” Zebreal wrote.
Georgia Meloni, leader of Italy’s Adelphia faction, immediately responded to the message, stating:
“This is the delicacy of the Italian press, which refers to my father’s problems but hides a key element in their explicit headlines. Everyone knows that my father left when I was a year old. Everyone knows that I decided never to see him again when I was eleven years old. Everyone knows that I never had contact with him again before his death. But it seems that this does not count, since the “supposedly good” can pass as a pavement over the life of the “monster”. It obviously does not apply to me that the sins of the parents should not punish the children. PS Ms. Zebreal, I hope you will explain to the judge when and where I made the statement you published.”
Many Italian media reported on this, emphasizing in most cases that Rula Zebreal’s intervention was a “low blow”.
Finally, Anna Paratore, the mother of Georgia Meloni, reacted to the post of the journalist, who, via the Internet, emphasized among other things:
“After I endured the worst mockery of my daughter, lies and all kinds of falsifications of reality, slander, for which, if you are right, in Italy you are not justified even in courtrooms, I am tired. My relationship with the father of my children is not a subject of public discussion. And I think that the story of a man who has been dead for many years is also not a subject of public discussion. The last time my daughters and I met him was on a distant afternoon in 1988 at the Villa Borghese in Rome, when, after a five-year absence, he asked to see his daughters again. It was a useless and chance encounter with two little girls who barely remembered him and him who told them to call him Franco because he thought “daddy” made him old.”
