Conciliare career and family is often a difficult job for many women. If the woman in question is the Prime Minister of the Italian Government, the question is even more spiny. Giorgia Meloni has been the new Italian premier only for a few weeks and has already been criticized for bringing her daughter "to work". Since his photos were published in the company of his daughter Geneva in Bali, where the G20 was underway, a new controversy broke out in Italy. Many began to ask themselves how much the daughter in his political activities could "distract" the premier from his work. A controversy as absurd as it is demeaning that she lasted for a few days, until the direct interested party intervened with a post -decisive post. How it is in Meloni's style.

G20 of 15 and 16 November

As you all remember, the G20 organized by the presidency of the Indonesian turn was held on 15 and 16 November in Bali. As always, all the major world economic powers participated in the event, and Giorgia Meloni was there to represent Italy. In addition to the most important meetings, on the sidelines of the works, the premier took part in numerous bilateral meetings with other heads of state. He met Justin Trudeau, Canadian Premier, Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia, Narendra Modi, Indian Prime Minister, XI Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, Joe Biden, president of the United States of America, and the President of the Republic of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The only woman among the premier

A list of names that already alone is enough to highlight the importance of the G20 and the role that Meloni - like all the other presidents of the Council before her - held in Bali. Not to mention the fact that, out of twenty, the president of our government was the only premier of the event. Particular situation that should have offered the perfect assist for a reflection on the participation of women in the tables that decide the fate of most of the world.

Controversy

Instead, returning to Italy, Giorgia Meloni found himself at the center of a controversy that has almost the surreal. Everything started with an article published onThe print In which Assia Neumann Dayan wrote that "workers do not bring daughters to the factory, who knows why" and that "Meloni would have no problems to talk to China while helping Geneva to subtract". Then he adds "If I were in her I would make these three days in Bali between adults, my daughter sorry but mom is saving Italy, if you need ask dad, come back soon, washed your teeth". An intervention that echoed in other newspapers and especially on social media, where many have felt in the right to express their opinion on how Meloni manages work and family.

It took 76 years of the Italian Republic and 30 premier, before a woman settled at Palazzo Chigi. Giorgia Meloni is the first woman to have sworn as President of the Council of Ministers. A novelty that - beyond the political faith of each - should be welcomed by everyone as a big step forward for a country that still struggles to detach the label of wife and mother made by the woman. On several occasions the premier reiterated that he would never neglect his political commitments or his daughter, a double, heavy commitment that should be praised and supported and not demonized or, even worse, exploited.

What if the premier had been a man?

What if the premier participate in the G20 with a six -year -old daughter in tow was a man? Would the controversy be the same or would it have gone unnoticed? Perhaps, in that case, something worse would have happened. Probably, a man in Meloni's situation would have passed through a sort of superhero: a father in his career who, despite the seriousness of his political commitments, loving and responsible, decides to bring his daughter to be with her and be a parent with her present while representing one of the most important countries in the world. We would certainly have congratulated him.

Giorgia Meloni's answer

As was imaginable, Meloni's clear and decisive response was not long in coming. Even before landing in Italy, he published on his social networks: “While I go home from the two days of incessant work to best represent Italy to the G20 of Bali, I come across an incredible debate on the fact if it was right or not Bring my daughter with me while I went away for four days. The question I have to do to the animators of this exciting discussion is: So do you think that how should my daughter grow up that concerns you? Because I give you a news: it is not. I have the right to do my mother as I believe and I have the right to do everything I can for this nation without giving up a mother's Geneva. I hope this answer is enough to make you deal with more relevant and vaguely of your competence subjects. " Political sides of various political sides, also of the opposition, intervened to support Meloni.
