“I will not be the puppet of pinkwashing.” Thus begins the long post on Facebook through which Avs deputy, Eleonora Evi, announced her resignation from the role of co-spokesperson for Green Europe, to a role “reduced to a mere front office”. “I present my resignation remaining firmly convinced of the need for a courageous and contemporary Italian ecological project, and not for another personal and patriarchal party”: this is the continuation. Today, through an interview with Corriere della Sera, the response came from Angelo Bonelli, the party’s other co-spokesperson. “I read that we would have taken advantage of maternity leave to isolate her. When the baby was born, I went to Rovereto to look for an embroiderer who could handcraft the pink bow, the one I placed on Eleonora’s table in Montecitório”: this is how the deputy began.
Then came the attack: “Eleonora Evi said that the party’s communications were focused on me and overshadowing her, as if it were my machination. I am the party’s communications and you are looking for me, I am not the one looking for the press or transmissions”. Asked about the supposed desire to put Eleonora Evi in the shadows, Bonelli replied: “There is no divine right to be present on television or be interviewed by newspapers. .
The interview ended with a backstory: “A few months ago, Meloni met with opposition parties about the minimum wage. He called Undersecretary Mantovano to invite me to Palazzo Chigi. t I’m going”. Am I someone who wants to obscure her? I could have gone alone, we could have gone together, she went alone. The meeting ends, the journalists call me to ask how it went, I inform them that Eleonora went to the meeting with the government and not me. What did I discover? That in that confrontation with Prime Minister Schlein, Calenda, Fratoianni, Magos, the 5 Stars intervened and that she, instead, maintained a scene of silence.”
