Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attracted media attention after a linguistic blunder in a campaign video for regional elections in Emilia-Romagna. In her address, Meloni mistakenly conflated women’s unemployment rates with employment figures while discussing gender equality. She advocated for being addressed as ‘the president,’ yet highlighted high women’s unemployment rates, a statement many commentators criticized for its inaccuracy. This follows a recent television appearance where Meloni struggled to justify health budget allocations, admitting to numerical errors. The statements highlight ongoing discussions of gender equality in Italy.
