Elected women, decline compared to 2018: first turnaround in over 20 years
‘Fewer women in Parliament: 31%. In 2018 they were 35%. It is the first decline in over 20 years, since the 14th parliamentary term of 2001 with 10.17% slightly up on the previous one, the progress had been evident: 15.94% in the XV, 19.63 in the XVI, 30.11 in the XVII and 35 in the XVIII. The parties that have also made gender equality a strong point of their programs, such as the Democratic Party, have not been able to elect women on an equal footing. We find more women elected in Calenda’s party and in the 5 Star Movement. ” Enza Bruno Bossio, an unelected candidate of the Democratic Party, writes it on facebook, posting the interview given to Il Dubbio.
And indeed these are the data. According to what Repubblica writes, “leafing through the lists of those elected party by party, it turns out that among the big names the black shirt of the gender gap goes to Fratelli d’Italia, which has a female leader but has filled with female names just 52 boxes out of 185 total places, or 28.1 percent. Even if Giorgia Meloni is the first woman in Italy to have put a mortgage on the Prime Minister “.
Next the Third Pole (46.7% of deputies among the elected), then the M5S (45%).In the center left there are 10 top positions (presidents, secretaries and deputies) of which 3 are occupied by women, 30%. In the organizational charts, on the other hand, there is more attention to gender equality: the M5s has 16 men and 13 women, the Pd with Letta management has achieved parity with 12 men and 12 women.
In the center-right, in the 14 top positions of the three parties there are only two women (Giorgia Meloni, president of Fdi, and Anna Maria Bernini, deputy national coordinator of Fi) for an overall percentage of 14%. “In recent years, with the exception of Hillary Clinton, the leaders have all come from the right”, comments from Fdi Isabella Rauti. “A fact on which the left that claims the quota mechanism should be questioned, while we deserve the credit. Meloni’s story is confirmation: there is no barrier to female leadership”.
