On the occasion of her candidacy in the European elections with New Democracy, Eleonora Meleti gave a full interview to the Secret insert of Parapoliticians and Sasha Stamatis.

In the middle of everything, the journalist and presenter talked about her decision to try her hand at politics, the “television” chapter, but also the accident that her husband, Thodoris Marosoulis, had a few days ago.

Who did you first tell about the offer to be a candidate? What did you measure and answer positively?

The first person I discussed it with was my husband. It was very positive that, while we were analyzing the data, we were finding solutions, both for practical and other issues, family and professional.

How do you feel that, if elected, you will be away from your daughter, Alexandra?

The MEP’s obligations are very specific and predetermined in the long term from the start, which helps a lot in practical matters. Before I made the decision, I talked to ladies in the office who had experience, as they were also mothers, and they assured me that when the water is in the gutter, then it will flow. We have a very secure bond with Alexandra and this is also due to the fact that, when I gave birth, I made the decision to put my career aside and for the first three years to be exclusively with her. That was the time when I retired from the daily programs and did the weekly interview show.

These three years put such a solid foundation in my relationship with Alexandra, that today Alexandra is a happy, self-confident and independent little girl, who will not interpret her mother’s absence as abandonment, but will see in it a role model that I want very much for my child to have as a starting point growing up. To dare, to have goals and to care about others.

Is the “television” chapter closed for you?

Of course not. Whether with or without the European Parliament, television will continue. We are already in discussions with my station.

Did you receive negative comments about your candidacy? What do you answer to those who accuse you of wrong timing?

From what I understand, I must be at the center of an attack, which I however am not experiencing. I have been told that in the microcosm of social media I am being vulgarly attacked with sexist, derogatory and abusive comments, however, for six years now, I have not had a Twitter account. I’ve lost my passwords and can’t even recover my account. And I don’t even care. So whatever is happening, I haven’t realized it.

On Instagram, in a quick glance, I see that among the dozens of supportive messages there are also some negative ones. I’m not standing. Every person is free to have his opinion and to express it freely, let alone on the occasion of my inclusion in a ballot. I can’t do anything about it and it’s not my business to stop it. I accept it and move on. I don’t care why someone objects or who objects. Let me remind you that some, many years ago, I was a victim of emotional and verbal violence and abuse, from my ethnic background, in my first steps. For three years every day they “assassinated” my personality. And then I was inexperienced, exposed and helpless and as a result I became physically and mentally ill.

It took me many years of care and therapy, education and guidance to regain my integrity and since then I have become the person I am today. I understand those who attack, I can and I know the mental mechanism that drives them to it and nothing touches me anymore. This is called mental toughness. And it is the solution to many problems. Toxicity, misogyny, externalized misogyny, vulgarity, injustice, vagrancy, ridiculousness, illiteracy, lack of knowledge, inferiority syndrome, diminished perception will never cease to exist.

Mental resilience is the solution. In my book entitled “My dream was always a purple bike”, which will be released on May 22 by Dioptra publications, I describe through my own true experience of emotional abuse the road to mental resilience.

After the announcement of your candidacy, you had to deal with your husband’s health adventure. You were by his side in the hospital. What does your husband, Theodoris, mean to you?

Theodoris had an accident, where he dislocated his knee. He was operated on the day my candidacy was announced. I went to the Athens Conservatory from the hospital and returned after the event there. Theodoris is my man. A rare character and an amazing father.
