Italian women politicians post miniskirt photos after minister’s motherhood remark

Photos of female Italian politicians in miniskirts have drawn attention after comments by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani about what kind of woman a man should marry. The controversy began after Tajani spoke at a party political event in Formello near Rome. While discussing the kind of woman he would advise his son to marry, he contrasted a glamorous woman with a “less flashy” and “more reliable” one. Tajani said he would recommend a woman who would be “a good mother” and remain faithful, adding that she might be someone who “wears skirts that are a bit longer”. His comments were followed by criticism from opposition politicians and a protest in the Italian Senate, where female opposition senators appeared in short skirts.What did Antonio Tajani say about women and long skirts?Tajani was speaking about marriage and the advice he would give his son.
