Elisabetta Fedegari, the harassment case and her decision to leave FdI: "Perhaps she wanted revenge for a failed appointment."

July 17, 2025

Elisabetta Fedegari, 44, a lawyer, had been a candidate for the 2023 regional elections
Pavia – She reported being harassed within the Brothers of Italy party and left alone. This is also why Elisabetta Fedegari left the party. "The priority," she said, "is now achieving power, ignoring all human aspects." "Our provincial president expressed his solidarity and sincere regret for the inappropriate comments directed at her over a year ago, via WhatsApp," commented Giovanni Donzelli, Fdi's organizational manager, who was intercepted in Rome. "Elisabetta Fedegari herself appreciated and understood the confidentiality, aware of the delicate nature of the situation, which, for reasons of privacy and sensitivity, it is inappropriate for me to disclose."
The Pavia lawyer, however, claimed she left the Brothers of Italy (Fdi) because she found the party " disengaged and disinterested" in her personal affairs. According to the Brothers of Italy leader, reviving that unpleasant, sensitive episode a year later "with cynicism" and denouncing the party's "lack of due process in her legal affairs" was a decision made "probably to avenge a failed appointment ." "On ethical issues, I can confirm the Brothers of Italy's utmost rigor. In Pavia," Donzelli added, "those who have read the documents of a nasty investigation tell us that there may have been an attempt at a hostile takeover of our party, also exploiting criminals and shady individuals. On these issues, I confirm that we will always be uncompromising." Provincial secretary Claudio Mangiarotti was also aware of the facts. "I told him myself," Fedegari added, "he even saw the evidence."
