Meloni leaves the chat of FdI parliamentarians: “Your leaks damage me”

“Giorgia Meloni has left the group”. The leader’s anger was so great the other day at the leak of news from the Brothers of Italy executive who decided to leave the WhatsApp group of which the parliamentarians belong. A move accompanied by a message of fire against the alleged deep throats that have leaked the contents of the meeting to reporters. “You don’t realize how harmful and unheard of what you have released is.”

As we know, on Wednesday during the meeting of the leaders of the party, the sentence of the premier in pectore was leaked on the “failure” of the Mario Draghi negotiations in Brussels in view of the summit on 20 and 21 October. Words that have sparked a case with Palazzo Chigi, but not denied by the person concerned.

In the chat of the FdI elected representatives in this legislature, Meloni intervened frequently to dictate the political-communicative line on the issues on which to fight. The departure of the group was greeted with much amazement by several parliamentarians, as “an understandable nervous breakdown in a difficult moment”.

“Formally, however, the WhatsApp group is destined to die and those who have not been re-elected had already left it”, the Melonian firefighters try to throw water on the fire. On Monday there will be a meeting of the new elect and therefore another new one will be created with many more members. Will the boss also be part of it?
