Rachele Silvestri: “Rumors about me and an FdI politician, forced to test my son’s DNA: the father is my partner”

I was forced to take a paternity test for my three month old son. And the father is Fabio, my partner. Naturally, I had no doubts. Why, then, did I do it? And above all, why am I asking that the news be reported in the newspapers? If your imagination (or curiosity) is taking you who knows where, read on, and then, I hope, you will be indignant with me. Because, sometimes, the vulgar reality surpasses even the wildest imagination. I have to start from the distant 2018, when I was elected parliamentarian from the ranks of the 5 Star Movement.

Thus begins the letter that the FdI deputy, Rachel Silvestrihe wrote on Corriere della Sera in which he explains why he decided to take the paternity test of his three-month-old son by silencing the rumors that his three-month-old son is the son of a very influential politician from the Brothers of Italy.

About a month ago, a friend of mine told me that there was a rumor that my child was not the son of my partner, but of a very influential politician from the Brothers of Italy, who was also married. My son would therefore have been born from a clandestine relationship, thanks to which I would also have obtained my candidacy. Can you just imagine how I felt? You don’t have to be a woman to understand disgust, violence, humiliation. I wonder: how many ways can a woman’s body be violated, trampled on, abused?
