Italian prime minister gets tons of criticism because of this selfie (PHOTO)
A lot of Italians don't appreciate the fact that while part of the country is dealing with floods, the prime minister is dead set on posing for a photo with superstar Mel Gibson as if nothing is wrong.
“Mel and Mel,” Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (Fratelli d'Italia) wrote Saturday as a caption to a photo she shared on social media. But a lot of her followers found this inappropriate as a state of emergency has been declared in two Italian regions - Emilia-Romagna and Marche - due to flooding. “We are sinking in the mud in the meantime!”, was one of the comments. “Let me just remind you that Emilia Romagna is completely under water,” another Instagram user wrote.
Bad timing?
