09.36 – Malpezzi: “Meloni does not undermine the male model”
«Giorgia Meloni brought a symbolic element into the debate because it is clear that there was a very strong result in seeing some images: a woman ahead and men behind. This changes the picture – says Simona Malpezzi, president of the senators of the Democratic Party, on Radio too -. On the other hand, however, the broken glass ceiling keeps the foundations of the building firm because the new premier has not unhinged a male-dominated or patriarchal model. Meloni reproduces and reaffirms a pattern of masculine power that she does not want to decline in the feminine. Linguistics is important. Meloni can be called whatever you want; for me she is the president because she is a woman and because she does not need a male article to prove that she has reached a goal that men have always achieved. The use of the feminine article would bring its feminine value to the government ».
