"Carə journalist of Diva and Donna communicating a person's emotional intimacy in the press is an unjust act and it's called outing. I was overwhelmed by it, but fortunately not annihilated".
She writes it on her Instagram profile
Of her Paola Belloni, Elly Schlein's partner,
regarding the publication in the weekly of her photo that portrays her together with the secretary of the Democratic Party.
The long post begins with a quote from the Dem leader: ""They didn't see me coming" and therefore they took out the telephoto lenses".
Belloni then explains that she was not "annihilated" by the act she considers "unfair" thanks to the support of "a network of friends and family".
And she adds: "I just wonder what would have happened if I hadn't had this network".
She then continues: "in Italy we do not have egalitarian marriage, we do not have protection for the sons and daughters of same-parent families, we do not have a law against homosexuality-transphobia".
"We are - she writes - a country where thousands of" Expatriates ", in the words of Desiati, live or leave their own provinces full of scratches and secrets".
Finally, Belloni clarifies her position: "coming out - she explains - is a personal choice, which also derives from an analysis of one's social network.
But I realize that being the partner of a public figure has made you think you have the right to expose me as much as she is exposed". In the last lines of the post, Belloni is ironic about the pose in which she was portrayed in the published photo. And he concludes: "having said all this, now I go back to my private life which I hope will always remain the same".
