Naples, Councilor Trapanese writes to Meloni: "We are still waiting for her to come to dinner"

“Dear Giorgia Meloni, I am writing to you again a few months after your reply. You had declared yourself available and happy to have a conversation with me, but then, although you had publicly accepted my dinner invitation, you never came to eat pizza with me and Alba”.

Thus begins the open letter that the Welfare Councilor of the Municipality of Naples, Luca Trapanese – single father of a child with Down Syndrome – addresses to Prime Minister Meloni a few months after the invitation extended to the Prime Minister and leader of Fdi for a discussion on the idea of ​​family and the issue of adoptions.

“This week,” Trapanese wrote on his Facebook profile, “you gave an interview to Silvia Grilli, director of the weekly magazine Grazia, who put your face on the cover with the words: 'Girls, let's unleash our power!'.

I expected to read from the first female Prime Minister words of praise to women for their talents, an invitation to defend their freedom to fulfill themselves, cultivate their passions, make choices, work and reach positions of prestige and power on a par with men.

And instead it turns out that the power that women should liberate, according to your point of view, would be limited to being mothers, bringing children into the world, giving up abortions where they had instead decided to do so. A total reduction of women to the minimum terms”.

“I would also like – Trapanese continues – that you explain to me what the gender ideology that you also mention in the interview is, a term that you also coined. Does it concern me, gay father?

I adopted Alba – Trapanese emphasizes – a child with Down syndrome who was abandoned by a woman at birth and unwanted by over 30 traditional families, the ones to which, you say in the interview, every child would have the right.

Too bad you didn't come to visit us as you promised, you would have met our family - can I call it that or a father and a little girl are not a family? In our house you would have understood that the love and joy that surround Alba are so great that they make her totally happy.

I think that's exactly why you didn't keep your promise – Trapanese closes his letter – to not see what is so obvious. Alba and I say goodbye, sorry and also a little sorry for you, who cannot grasp the enormous beauty kept in the uniqueness of all families who love each other”.
