Meloni should be called “Mr. Prime Minister”: the communication of Palazzo Chigi to the ministries

Call Giorgia Meloni “Mr. President of the Council of Ministers”. The official communication reached all the ministries. From Palazzo Chigi, with the signature of Carlo Deodato, new secretary general of the Prime Minister’s office at the bottom. To the general amazement – and net of any subsequent denials – it would seem not to be a fake. Meloni wants to be called, therefore, in the masculine: “the president”.

This is the text of the circular sent by Deodato “to all ministries”: “For appropriate information, we inform you that the title to be used for the President of the Council of Ministers is: ‘The President of the Council of Ministers, Hon. Giorgia Meloni’ “.

Already in the notes sent by her communication staff to journalists, the leader of the Brothers of Italy is called “the Prime Minister”. Now the grammatical choice appears in an official circular.
