Gruber: “Women must have the final say on abortion, that’s how it is in civilized countries.” On Meloni: “he has a problem with Italian grammar”

“This evening the Prime Minister was at an electoral rally in Basilicata. We would like to tell you once again that you call yourself “the president”, not “the president”. Maybe he has a problem with Italian grammar“. It is the sharp reprimand that Lilli Gruberduring Half past eight (La7), addresses the Prime Minister Giorgia Melonireferring to his words at the rally held in Potenza for the Lucanian regional elections, in support of the outgoing centre-right governor Vito Bardi.

In his speech Meloni, speaking about the controversy over the amendment of Brothers of Italy to the Pnrr decree for the introduction of pro-life associations in public clinicshe has declared: “Equality isn’t created by calling ‘president’, I don’t give a damn what they call me. Equality means not having to force a woman to choose between children and work but being able to do the two things together.”

And just introducing the topic of the Fdi amendment, the presenter of Half past eight observes: “Here in Italy there are ideological themes used as weapons, such as the right or otherwise to abortion and women’s free choice. In Potenza we saw Giorgia Merloni in a very combative, rally-like version. He said that the left does not show solidarity with the police, referring to the clashes at Sapienza, and added that we have become the world capital of fake news. And among these there is law 194“.

Gruber, after having listened to the opinion of his guests on the matter (Lucio Caracciolo, Massimo Giannini and Mario Sechi), launches a final broadside to the right and to Bruno Vespawho entered the cyclone of controversy for having invited on his show Door to door 6 men and no woman to debate the right to abortion: “Women must have the final say on such difficult and delicate issues as abortion. Women must have this right. In civilized countries it is like this: in France the right to abortion was inserted into the Constitution a few weeks ago and the European Parliament voted by majority to also include it in the Charter of European Rights. Therefore – the journalist comments – it is not clear what need there was now to present an amendment, in the specific case of Fratelli d’Italia, whicheffectively opens the doors to anti-abortion associations in public clinics“.
