Boschi against Gruber: “My photos interest you more than political content”

ROME – “Thank you all for the supportive comments after Otto e Mezzo.” This is how María Elena Boschi wrote on social networks at the end of her participation, last night, in the talk led by Lilli Gruber. “When I tried to talk about content I was always interrupted – it is Boschi’s criticism – for Lilli Gruber it is more important to talk about my photos than about the 200 billion of the Recovery Fund. I feel sorry for the listeners.”

The reference is to the shots published in the weekly Chi who portrays her in the park with her boyfriend Giulio Berruti without a mask: “There is an obligation to wear it, why not you?” asked Gruber. La Renziana responded immediately, in the same way: “We had it, we lowered it to take a selfie for a minute. We were outdoors alone and we are together. We did not get a fine and other couples did? We respect.” Always the rules, we lower the mask for a moment on that occasion. Thanks for the opportunity to make this clarification, but I think that with hundreds of deaths every day I would like to talk about the money from the Recovery Fund instead of those photos. ” A controversy immediately spilled over onto social media, sparking thousands of comments, and not just among Boschi’s followers. Renzian’s minister was among the first to defend him Teresa Bellanova: “Lilli, why so much hatred? Why go beyond people’s private lives when you could clarify political positions with the leader of the group in the Fourth Chamber, instead of spending time asking her about her boyfriend? It’s a missed opportunity to deepen and regret. ” But the censorship of the host of La7 also comes from the right: “You will not believe it, but before his passage to the European Parliament, Gruber was a journalist” tweet Guido Crosetto.

Accusations of sexism, denounced by Senator Renzian, are inevitable Laura Garavini: “It is sad that I am a journalist who, without arguments of political content, invents non-existent reasons to attack another woman’s private life, only to try to denigrate her. Do not worry about them @meb. Your smile is the best answer” . In the wake of the colleague Silvia Fregolent: “The issues we are raising are serious. I also expected seriousness from the journalist. I am dismayed by how the interview went.” With Claudio Velardi, Former loyalist of D’Alema at the time of Palazzo Chigi, to comment: “It’s a shame. You are very good at keeping calm and patience.”

But there are also those who, although they are few, criticize the Tuscany deputy for the report that appeared in the weekly gossip magazine: “If you don’t want to be labeled ‘Puss in Boots’ and be subjected to unpleasant comments, there is a system: avoid giving the consent to be paparazzi. Those photos were well constructed and all consented “, read among the tweets.” There is little to talk about with those who threaten to disconnect the government !!! “, another response.” This it is called in only one way: blackmail. ”
