"You and I, facing the world hand in hand."

Thus recites the post shared by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni , returning from America, on her Facebook page. In the photo taken on the plane to Rome, she and her daughter Ginevra, in her mother's arms. Meloni, who was in the States for a meeting at the White House with President Joe Biden, also decided to take the baby with her.

Born from her relationship with the journalist Andrea Giambruno, she also accompanied her mother to the last G20 in Bali, in November. The presence of Geneva in the American leg would have surprised Biden, who good-naturedly reproached Meloni: «Why didn't you warn me? We would arrange a tour of the White House for you.' The moment also allowed the President to tell a personal anecdote: «For my father, the family was everything. Where everything begins and everything is built and everything ends».

Thought - evidently - shared by the leader of the Brothers of Italy. After all, the premier had also been clear during the electoral campaign, when she had assured the party and voters that a possible position would not have led her to give up «anything that concerns my daughter. We women always organize ourselves ». After Bali and the US stage with his daughter, there was no lack of controversy on social media. "How do you think my daughter should raise?" asked the premier. “I have the right – she added – to be a mother as I please. I have the right to work for this nation without experiencing the generosity of a mother."
