"But the Commission is not my direct interlocutor," shecontinued. "Those who manipulate that report are. "Besides, the report does not say anything particularly new withrespect to previous years". In an editorial Domani Editor-in-chief Emiliano Fittipaldi saidMeloni's words were "serious, false and, above all dangerous"and accused her of "victimhood". "Those comments were followed by articles by right-wing,supposedly liberal newspapers that made a sort of blacklist ofcolleagues (like our Francesca De Benedetti and Nello Trocchi),who are 'guilty' of having spoken to the media freedomobservers," Fittipaldi said. La Repubblica.said Meloni was continuing to fail to respond tothe observations made in the report and said her comments"betray her illiberal idea of journalism and of the rolejournalism has in an accomplished democracy". Italian journalists union FNSI also responded to Meloni'scomments, saying "blacklists are a risk for democracy". Centre-right figures, on the other hand, expressed indignationat a writer for State broadcaster Rai, Riccardo Cassini, over apost making fun of Meloni having taken her daughter with her toChina.
