The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, reacted to the criticisms of Maurizio Landini, the leader of the largest union in Italy, CGIL, who accused her of doing nothing to bring peace to Gaza and called her 'the courtesan' of American President Donald Trump. Landini's comments were made in the context of a peace summit on the Middle East.
Meloni responded with a post on social media, in which she shared a definition of the term 'courtesan', suggesting that the accusation is a sexist insult. She criticized the left for hypocrisy, stating that although they preach respect for women, they attack her using such language. Landini, for his part, clarified that he did not use a sexist term, but wanted to emphasize that Meloni is subordinate to Trump. This dispute reflects the political tensions in Italy and the divergent positions on foreign policy.
