The “blue” background with Eleonora Meleti: The proposal for the European Parliament…

Her candidacy was kept secret. He was included in the last ten names announced for the New Democracy European ballot at the party’s event at the Athens Conservatory. It was characterized as a surprise, as the “blue” ballot already contained journalists, the most well-known being Giorgos Autias, who has been on television for more than 30 years.

He received very harsh criticism from party opponents, to the point where he was forced to respond with a lengthy post, revealing that he had suffered abusive behavior in the past.which does not allow her to once again bow her head and accept them.

The second sentence

The reason for Eleonora Meleti, who will fight the battle of the European elections, knowing that she may not be elected, but as she says, the proposal made to her is important, which she could not refuse. As she revealed, she had been struck in the past, as the agenda she was asked to work for was not one that suited her. The prime minister returned, with a new proposal for the assumption of duties concerning women, equality and their position in society. So she said “yes”, not because of the salary that a member of parliament receives, but because the new agenda asked of her by Kyriakos Mitsotakis was more compatible with her and what he has done so far.

“I’m not the unemployed presenter who was looking to see what her next step would be, nor was my motivation motivated by money. After all, there are people on TV who can make more money than an MEP. What piqued my interest is agenda presented to me,” she said, arguing that if she fails to get elected, she won’t lose anything. “I will return to my job, which I will not leave. I have no vision of having a political career,” she said in her first interview with Mega, from where she will leave to throw herself into the electoral arena.

When she said this, she has not yet received the… rivers of criticism and insults, mainly on the X platform, but also the shots from her party opponents, who focused on two events: in the film that seems to be directing a highly erotic scene, indicating to the naked actress how to position her body so that the shot “comes out” better, while an older show of hers came to the surface, where in the context of presenting an interview with Ilias Kasidiaris, she spoke about him with sufficiently flattering words. Nikos Androulakis spoke of the “washing” of Ilias Kassidiaris by the presenter, arguing that if PASOK had a candidate-hymn to Ilias Kassiaris it would be “a disaster”, while indirectly K. Velopoulos referred to her person and wanting to deconstruct the ballot of New Democracy, talked about prospective porn directors, and a non-Christian ballot.

They wish me cancer, they call me a whore and a fascist

“15-16 years ago, I was diagnosed as a victim of chronic emotional and psychological abuse, through verbal and emotional violence, due to the systematic manipulation of my personality. It took many years of painful treatment, persistence and faith to be able to build mental resilience and believe and again to myself. Today, history repeats itself. Today, the pathology has spread to social networks,” the journalist said in her post, referring to a vulgar attack, which she will not let go of. .

“For a few days now, I have been receiving gross, uncontrolled and open violence on the occasion of my candidacy for the European Parliament. They call me a whore, a fascist, a murderer, an unfit mother, and dozens of other sexist and abusive characterizations, they wish me cancer, cancer and dozens of other imaginative curses , in the context of a propaganda that aims, through character assassination, to create impressions… As a victim of abuse, and indeed in public view, with abusers both those who attack and those who enjoy it, but above all as a woman who managed to get out of it unharmed and stronger, dynamic, resilient, determined and whole, I’m not afraid of anything or anyone. I’m here, standing, healthy, with those who know me, to support me and give me strength, to move forward seeing only the goal” she concludes , declaring her decision not to back down, because then she will have defeated “the Beast of the sick patriarchy,” she said in her post, attempting to explain why she is under heavy criticism.

As she says, being on the receiving end of so much hate and abuse is what drove her to non-profitably work on social and equality issues, and she won’t stop doing so. She herself talks about excessive misogyny, which may be due to her successful television career, the fact that she is known to the general public, but mainly the fact that she is a woman.
