After the social threats addressed to Giorgia Meloni's daughter, Ginevra, the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office awaits an initial report from the postal police to assess the territorial jurisdiction of criminal proceedings. Meanwhile, Salvini also denounced an offensive post against his daughter Mirta. Meloni herself also reports similar episodes against minister Matteo Piantedosi: 'The threats also addressed to the children of the deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini and the minister Matteo Piantedosi show that we are not facing isolated episodes, but a spiral of hatred fuelled by an ideological fanaticism that has exceeded all limits,' the Prime Minister wrote on social media.

'I wish Meloni's daughter the fate of the girl from Afragola'. This was the threatening message, shot on social media yesterday 31 May and denounced by Fratelli d'Italia on Instagram, by a professor employed by Mim. The investigations, announced by the Minister for Education and Merit, Giuseppe Valditara, were immediate. Just as immediate is the transversal solidarity of all politics with the President of the Council and his daughter Ginevra. The teacher tries to apologise. The Rome public prosecutor's office awaits the professor's report.

Mattarella calls Meloni, solidarity for daughter

Solidarity was expressed by the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, who called Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. In the conversation, it was learnt, the head of state expressed his solidarity over the social threats to his daughter Ginevra.

The teacher's apologies

.

'It was a stupid gesture, written on impulse. I apologise for the content of the post: you never wish death, especially to a child. But I don't withdraw my political ideas: I don't feel represented by this government,' said Stefano Addeo, the German teacher at a high school in the province of Naples, after the controversy that arose from his post about Giorgia Meloni's daughter.

The premier's reaction

.

Yesterday, the PM had intervened with her own post on X talking about a 'sick' climate and something 'dark'. "This is not political confrontation. It is not even anger. It is something darker, telling of a sick climate, an ideological hatred, in which everything seems lawful, even wishing death on a child to strike a parent. And it is against this violent climate that politics, all of it, should know how to unite. Because there are borders,' writes Meloni, 'that must never be crossed. And defending them is a responsibility that goes beyond any affiliation'.

The Solidarity of Politics

.

Politics 'unites' in condemnation and solidarity, starting with the Minister of Education and Merit who denounced the incident and the immediate investigation, as well as the presidents of the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, Ignazio La Russa and Lorenzo Fontana. And again, the two vice-premiers Antonio Tajani and Matteo Salvini who use words like 'ignoble' and 'horror' to express their indignation along with that of all the other ministers who intervene in turn reiterating this sentiment. There is also the solidarity of Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi who, in turn, is said to have suffered an attack on his daughters on social media, as reported by 'Il Giornale', of a tenor very similar to that against the premier's daughter: 'You see that you also steal our children's money and food. So I wish yours too,' the author of the post is said to have written, adding the names of the two girls. Fratelli d'Italia rallied with all its might. Even the premier's sister, Arianna, does not fail to show affection and solidarity with her sister and niece: 'How much more must we endure? How far must we go? With respect to this despicable barbarity,' she writes on social media, 'all possible outrage! Let the condemnation be unanimous and strong. My sister Giorgia and my niece receive my most affectionate and protective embrace'.

An ideal embrace that runs across the whole party spectrum, from the rest of the allies in the government coalition, such as Maurizio Lupi and Michaela Biancofiore, to the opposition members. "Incredible where political hatred can go. Picking on a little girl to attack her mother. It is never done, it must not be done. My sympathy to Giorgia Meloni for the vile and uncivil attacks referred to her daughter,' writes, for example, Simona Malpezzi of the PD. He is echoed by his other party companions, Iv group leaders Maria Elena Boschi and Raffaella Paita. And again, the leader of Action Carlo Calenda and many other parliamentarians from both sides.

Valditara: investigations now

Meanwhile, following the announcement of the start of investigations into the case, Minister Valditara goes further in his reasoning, announcing severe penalties for those responsible. "The figure of the teacher is of extraordinary importance in the training of young people, not only in imparting knowledge but also in educating them to respect others. It is essential that teachers are first and foremost aware of the responsibility and social value of their role. We can no longer tolerate behaviour by individuals who on social networks or in public betray the decorum and dignity that must characterise such a delicate profession. The Ministry will sanction those who are not worthy of being part of our school".

Pm Rome awaits information on prof

The Rome Public Prosecutor's Office is awaiting an initial report from the postal police in reference to the post published on social networks by a teacher at a high school in the province of Naples in which he wished the PM's daughter Giorgia Meloni the 'same fate as the girl from Afragola', 14-year-old Martina Carbonaro, killed by her ex-boyfriend. In the light of the file that will be transmitted to Piazzale Clodio, the Capitoline prosecutors, coordinated by prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi will assess the territorial jurisdiction of the proceedings.
