There have been fierce clashes between Elodie and representatives of Fratelli d’Italia, who accused the Roman singer of wanting to “improvise politics” while posing “on the set of Miami for the Pirelli calendar”. The 34-year-old artist is among 12 artists chosen for the multinational’s new calendar, which has chosen the theme of sensuality this year. And in a long interview with Repubblica, Elodie spoke of the rights “at stake in Meloni’s Italy”. “What I suffer the most is that a woman does this,” she said, claiming that her body is a manifesto of freedom. The implications of those who claim she uses her sensuality to achieve fame do not worry her: “There are other issues,” she says. “I love myself and my body helps me to say something about myself. I don’t think having sex is a sin.”

Fdi’s response: “Elodie save the sermons”
Susanna Donatella Campione, a member of the bicameral Commission on Femicides from the FDI ranks, reiterates: “It is sad that a woman attacks another woman so violently simply because she is Prime Minister and does not think like her. Elodie should defend freedom of thought before the freedom of the body and should not continue to angrily attack those who express different opinions from hers”. “Get rid of the misconception of wanting to smuggle the display of the body as an intellectual activity (the senator sank) and apply it calmly, like your other colleagues who do not feel the need to present the photo shoot as a metaphysical activity. As for the lack of women’s freedom, I invite you to look around more carefully and notice how women have occupied positions of power never reached before during the Meloni Government, the latest example of a long series is Daria Perrotta, the first woman in history, who was appointed head of the State Accounting Office of Italy a few days ago. If Elodie wants to let her body express itself, she is very free to do so, but please spare us from the old-fashioned sermons that are now out of fashion”.
