"Maurizio Landini, the leader of CGIL, which organised several pro-Palestinian protests before the Gaza ceasefire deal, made the remarks on TV on Tuesday, the day after world leaders, including Meloni, met in Egypt for a Middle East peace summit. Landini accused Meloni of not having lifted a finger to bring peace in Gaza, limiting her role to playing Trump's courtesan. Fortunately, the Italian citizens took to the street to defend the dignity and honour of this country, he said."
"In a post on social media on Thursday, Meloni said Landini was evidently clouded by a mounting resentment (which I can understand), before sharing a definition of courtesan. I think everyone knows the most common meaning attributed to this word, but, for the benefit of those who might not, I'm publishing the first definition found through a quick internet search, Meloni said, posting a screenshot that read: Woman of easy virtue, heterosexual; euphemism, prostitute."
Maurizio Landini, leader of the CGIL union, called Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni 'Trump's courtesan' on television the day after a Middle East peace summit in Egypt. Landini accused Meloni of not lifting a finger to bring peace in Gaza and praised Italians who protested to defend the country's dignity and honour. Meloni condemned the remark, said Landini was clouded by mounting resentment, and posted a screenshot definition of 'courtesan' showing 'Woman of easy virtue...prostitute.' She criticised leftwing opponents for lecturing on respect for women while using that term. Landini replied that his comment was not sexist and meant to imply a Trump lackey.
