About this listen
Giorgia Meloni, Italy’s prime minister and leading figure of the Italian right, has been at the center of intense media attention in the past few days, spanning politics, security, personal life, and digital privacy. Most notably, Italian prosecutors have launched a major investigation after fake, explicit photos reputably featuring her and several female deputies appeared on a now-shutdown adult website which had amassed over 700,000 subscribers, a case described in Politico and reported by Baku.ws. Meloni reacted with fury, demanding the perpetrators face the maximum punishment allowable by law and calling for broad action against such digital abuses. The investigation is reportedly part of a wider Italian crackdown on revenge porn and the exploitation of images without consent. According to UNN, several other political figures were also targeted, sparking fresh calls in parliament to bolster photo copyright protections and enforce user verification on adult sites.
Amidst this turmoil, Meloni was also thrust into the crosshairs of political controversy over her whereabouts last weekend. Italia Viva, an opposition party, challenged the prime minister’s absence from high-profile events in Italy, including the prestigious Cernobbio Forum and the Monza Grand Prix, as well as the funeral chapel honoring Giorgio Armani. Opponents raised questions about whether Meloni might have used government resources for personal purposes. In a pointed response, Palazzo Chigi—the prime minister’s office—stated Meloni was in New York on a private trip with her daughter Ginevra, celebrating the child’s upcoming birthday, and had traveled on regular commercial flights, not using state planes. The statement sternly warned against spreading false insinuations, asserting Meloni’s right to occasionally fulfill her “most natural role: that of mother.”
Even while absent from major public appearances, Meloni was active on social media. Wanted in Milan covered her firm online support for Milan’s police during heated protests over the eviction of an occupied building, where she denounced what she termed unacceptable insults hurled at law enforcement. Her social media posts frequently stress security and order as government priorities.
On the international front, Decoded39 reports Meloni is driving Italy's efforts to accelerate an EU-India free trade deal, emphasizing her growing rapport with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In conversations with European and Indian leaders, Meloni has underscored the necessity for Europe to move swiftly in a multi-polar world, consistent with her pronounced desire for Italy to remain strategically active on the global stage. Meanwhile, The Telegraph highlights that under Meloni’s leadership, Italy has enjoyed governmental stability unmatched among Europe’s major democracies, a tenure now closing in on the three-year mark and solidifying her record as Italy’s longest-serving prime minister since Berlusconi.
Finally, Arab News noted she publicly praised police for the rapid arrests of two armed suspects ahead of a large religious festival in Viterbo, underscoring her public security agenda. Beyond the headlines, social media chatter has noted a rare but telling absence of public posts alongside her partner Andrea Giambruno and daughter Ginevra recently, even as speculation swirled around her personal life and time away.
