The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the sharing of her altered photos, other women on the pornographic website, and said she felt “disgusted” and be “daunting” to testify that “they climbed female dignity for anonymity or keyboard”.
Meloni said, “I am disgusted by what happened. I want to expand my solidarity and support to all women who have been offended, offended and violated. It is daunting to note that in 2025 they are still considered normal and legitimate that they are pedaling on female dignity and focusing on sexist and vfat.” “
Meloni called for rapid justice and warned that even general online content could be armed, and said, “Content that is considered harmless can become a terrible weapon in the wrong hands. And we must all be aware of it.”
What exactly happened?
The PHICA website, which allegedly had more than 700,000 subscribers, displayed modified and cropped paintings Meloni, her sisters Arianna and opposition leader Elly Schlein, along with rough subtitles. Pictures, without permission from social media and public platforms, have been changed to depict women in a sexualized way. After the scandal that appeared this week, PHICA operators overthrew the website down and stated that users misused the platform, reports.
The probe began with the police after gaining official complaints from many women consisting of members of the center left democratic party. Doctoral images of high -ranking women displayed in the “VIP section” of the site.
The case has led a number of women to file a complaint against Phaic and other similar platforms. This is followed by the recent closure of the Italian group on Facebook called Mia Moglie (“My Woman”), where men shared private photos of women without their consent.
The politician of the Democratic Party (PD), Valeria Campagna, who filed an official complaint, took on Facebook and said she was “disgusted, upset and disappointed” and “could not be silent”.
“Not only photographs in a swimsuit, but moments from my public and private life. Under them were sexist, vulgar and violent comments. I can’t be silent because this story is not just about me. It’s all about us. It’s about our right to be free, respected and live without fear,” she said.
