A Milan court has ruled in favor of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, ordering journalist Giulia Cortese to pay €5,000 in damages for an online insult about Meloni’s height. The court deemed Cortese’s comments on X (formerly Twitter) as “defamatory” and “body-shaming.” This ruling comes after an October 2021 incident where Cortese posted a mocked-up photo of Meloni with fascist leader Benito Mussolini in the background. Despite the judge ruling that the Mussolini post did not violate the law, the court supported Meloni regarding the height insult. Cortese, who has also been fined an additional €1,200 (suspended), claims that Italy’s government has issues with freedom of expression. This case highlights ongoing tensions between the government and the media, with Italy dropping in the 2024 World Press Freedom Index. Learn more about the case and its implications for journalistic freedom in Italy.

Oh Giorgia … not only are you a beauty, the way you are and how you carry yourself is most attractive. Frumpy scumbags can say whatever they want. With the winnings a case of champagne must be in order!
Bravo GIORGIA ! !
1.48 _1.50 penso perché ha la mia stessa statura. È brava e bella.
Just because you are a journalist does not mean you can make false claims about a person without getting sued. Because she was a journalist, I'm sure many people actually believed her. The journalist's insulting comment was indeed defamation in every legal sense. I hope other journalists take note that their occupation does Not mean they can lie with impunity.
Social media is full of comments about her melons too. It goes like ….
In G7 Melonis secretary said "Nobody is serious everyone is after melonis melons" 😂
Plzzzzz tell the truth plzzzzz ❤ everyone
Freedom of speech is gone to the dogs in Europe
Who cares what her height is if she's good, and she is.
Like I was told a long time ago , if you can't say anything good about a person …keep your mouth shut ( that includes not writing bad things too ..)
Is she related to Mea Meloni??
Nothing wrong with her, shes got a nice back
Meloni is too sensitive. Her ego is enormous. If she was a man, people would be laughing this off.
FCKN SH*TTY COMMIE "JOURNALIST"…
Ma come al solito anche con questo governo di raccomandati chi già da una vita che non fa un cavolo come i dipendenti statali regionali e via dicendo cintinuano a rubare lo stipendio senza fare un cavolo o addirittura danneggiando la nazione e chi fin da bambino a sempre lavorato spaccandosi il culo viene ancora tantassato, brava Giorgia anche per il salari da fame e le pensioni da miserabili che ci stai regalando 👎👏👏👏 sei la numero uno al mondo neanche Ursula saprebbe fare meglio.
that's free speech.
Giorgia Meloni is a far right leader trying to silence her critics because she has a fragile ego.
They are all the same these right wingers. She is bad for Italy and time will show this.
Buongiorno. Onore e Gloria al ns Presidente del Consiglio Meloni. Un grande Politico. Una icona della politica mondiale. Il ns presente. Il ns futuro. Grazie Giorgia di esistere. W l'Italia. W l'Italia anticomunista. Sempre. Grazie per il tributo al ns Presidente del Consiglio. Vi abbraccio tutti.
Il Body Shaming, nasce per contapporre l'adulazione di TV e giornali strapagati da lei?
Nana nana nana schifosa meloni denuncia a me fascista di merda
well,
that you
SUPER/SPECIAL DEMOCRATS,
have nothing else to do,
is becoming increasingly CLEAR to me.
Someone who receives €10,000+ from the CITIZEN,
every MONTH,
should, in my opinion, be above such things.
But when it comes to honor, pride, dignity, self-confidence, ethics, etc.,
we are WELL INFORMED ABOUT YOU
THANKS FOR YOUR PROOF

I giornalisti in generale, soprattutto quelli che soffrono della malattia incurabile del socialismo, credono che la loro professione sia una lettera di marca e che siano immuni dal rispettare le leggi in nome di una presunta libertà di opinione o di espressione, denigrano coloro che non sono d'accordo con le loro idee di sinistra radicale, creano false matrici e diffondono notizie false. Trasformare le loro opinioni personali in fatti, causando danni irreparabili alla reputazione delle loro vittime, per questo e per altri motivi, dovrebbero essere applicati con tutto il peso della legge.
