(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 8 - Premier Giorgia Meloni and centre-left
opposition Democratic Party (PD) leader Elly Schlein sparred on
Friday after the former said the Right defened workers better
than "the caviar left" and the latter shot back that she didn't
eat caviar but couldn't stand castor oil, the substance Italy's
Fascists poured down opponent's throats to induce severe
diarrhea.
The exchange was sparked by Meloni's stating at a European
Political Community sumit in Budapest Thursday that she was
unable to take time off sick, while suffering from the flu, and
had to work because she didn't have any union rights - a
statement Schlein characterised as "mocking workers". (ANSA).
