“I am a citizen of the Republic whose life for months has been subjected to the attempt to be debased and canceled by prevaricating attitudes, favored by a particular and dangerous information system that is still too careful not to step on the toes of those in power”. As Maria Rosaria Boccia in a letter to the president Sergio Mattarella on the National Day against Violence against Women. The businesswoman, involved in the affair that led to the resignation of the former Minister of Culture Sangiulianoalso calls the prime minister into question Melons that “in an attempt to safeguard the logic of the party and some unfortunate choices, it is willing to feed the entire country the misleading image of a woman without morals capable of who knows what misdeeds”.
“Since the end of the summer season – writes Maria Rosaria Boccia in the letter to the President of the Republic – the period in which the case which, in spite of myself, concerned me exploded, I have been forced to witness on a daily basis an unprecedented mortification of my person as a woman. The question I ask myself, and which I feel the need to convey to you, is to understand whether it is possible that in our country it can be allowed that, where a woman reaches an objective/goal with dedication and sacrifice, the suspicion of her own ‘moral lightness’ and of using one’s being a woman to ‘carve out one’s own space in society'”.

“It’s useless to tell you how hard I have been leading my life since then, both from a personal and professional point of view – adds Boccia, explaining that she has “been pushed away by everyone, for no real reason; even, after having distinguished myself with dedication and tenacity in my work, I was defined as little more than a hostess, a climber, even obtaining the degree became an invention resulting from my being a boaster”.
“Also – he explains – from a professional point of view, in relation to the nature of my work which leads me to relate and interface directly and indirectly with the institutional environment – the majority of my interlocutors, despite not having a journalistic nature, are conditioned by the satisfaction political – as a mere consequence of the words spoken by the prime minister, all doors were suddenly closed to me despite the fact that none of my conduct was suitable to justify such reactions”.
Boccia continues: “I attempted in vain to request the intervention of the Guarantor in relation to the denigrating information campaign launched against me through the publication of a series of news devoid of any foundation and without any prior verification of their truthfulness before publication , which nevertheless took place with the sole aim of discrediting my person and damaging my honor and reputation”.
The letter continues: “I have decided to express my difficulty to you on such a particular and noble day so that there can be greater awareness and less hypocrisy in dealing with a too serious and important topic that requires courage, together with the aim of formulating the request for intervention as the highest super partes institution in order to restore the protection of the dignity of a woman who is highly damaged and mortified also and above all by the distancing of the institutions”.
Boccia concludes: “As far as my person is concerned, I will probably have to pay for the social condemnation that has been chosen to inflict on me for a long time to come. This is the hardest violence that I am suffering and against which I risk not having the strength to fight. ”.
