Giorgia Meloni still doesn't feel well. For the second time, the prime minister's end-of-year press conference was missed , as she has been struggling with health problems for about ten days now, practically since after the rally with which Atreju closed on Sunday 17 December.
The announcement of the new flat rate came on the eve of the long-awaited appointment with the parliamentary press, which had already been postponed on the 21st and will now be held on January 4th at 11am.
The prime minister is recovering after an otolith problem, her collaborators explain, which forced her "in bed and in the dark for almost two days". Last night an ear doctor visited her at home, diagnosed "otolithic syndrome" and performed "the maneuver" to resolve the situation. Now the prime minister is "already improving": "with the collar, she managed to get up and talk on the phone" . But it will still take a few days as a precaution.
Initially, the prime minister's collaborators explain, we thought it was "after-effects of the flu because the prime minister had been suffering from nausea and dizziness for a couple of days. We then thought about labyrinthitis. At the end of the visit carried out at home, the ENT specialist instead found benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, i.e. the problem with the otoliths, which presents similar symptoms ."
Meloni will not even participate in the last Council of Ministers of 2023. Already ten days ago, the FdI leader said from the stage of her party's event that she had "some voice problems" , and in the 70 minutes of her speech she had taken off her jacket to do not "die of heat". The day after the cancellation of participation in the Quarta Repubblica broadcast, due to "a slight indisposition".
Then on the 19th a note from Palazzo Chigi announced that due to "a state of flu" he would not preside over the control room on the Pnrr, the Council of Ministers and would not participate in the conference of ambassadors. On the morning of the 20th, the Prime Minister went to the Christmas school play organized by her daughter Ginevra's primary school, where she left before the end because she felt unwell. He tested negative for Covid, but that day due to a "persistent state of flu" he skipped the exchange of greetings at the Quirinale and rescheduled the end-of-year press conference scheduled for the following day . After the Boxing Day of rest she was expected at Palazzo Chigi, but her health conditions did not allow her because the problem of otoliths arose.
