By now it is clear to everyone: when we talk about Elodie, we are not just talking about a singer but a media strategist ready to attract attention, especially when it comes to politics. And what better way to do it than this time, however, the choice was particularly astute: a beautiful Pirelli calendar, theme “sensuality”, and the support of Repubblica which seems to have transformed her interview into a rally. After all, when she poses under the Miami sun for one of the most iconic calendars in the world, why not take the opportunity to attack the Italian government? The singer begins by underlining how in Italy “there is a problem of threatened acquired rights. By attacking gay marriage, or abortion, you attack freedom. The thing that hurts me the most is that it is a woman who does it. How is it possible that she does not realize that she is working for the interests of men? It is an unforgivable attitude”.
The reference to the Prime Minister is unmistakable. Some might think that this passion for social issues is authentic, but there are those who wonder if it is just another publicity stunt. “Elodie criticizes Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni just to sell a calendar,” blurts out the senator of Fratelli d’Italia, Susanna Donatella Campione. “Before the freedom of the body – adds the member of the bicameral Commission on femicide – Elodie should defend freedom of thought and not continue to angrily rail against those who express ideas different from hers.” In other words, “let her get out of the misunderstanding of wanting to smuggle the exhibition of the body as an intellectual activity and practice it serenely like other colleagues of hers who do not feel the need to pass off a photo shoot as a metaphysical activity,” concludes Campione. It goes without saying that the artist needs to keep the public’s attention high, and what better way to do it than by mixing her sexy image with a few well-placed jabs at the government? The perfect mix to sell calendars and earn headlines in the newspapers. But the real question is: what measure has the government taken to threaten the rights for which the Roman singer has sleepless nights? Or again, what law wanted by the government was passed to modify 194, the one on abortion, so to speak? Elodie’s attacks have little to do with political correctness. But since the artist is international, it is right to say “politically correct”.
