Alessandra Mussolini

"(Concerning Antonio Di Pietro) He is the only true national leader, the authentic expression of civil society."

"Bruno Vespa is just like my grandfather, he has a distinctive feature of the Mussolini family: the line from his nostril to his mouth. Sooner or later he will come out."

"Hey Matteo, you're nosy, you wear an earring and you're jealous. Wash your mouth out before you speak. You're a beggar, so don't bother us!"

"(Referred to Luxuria) He dresses like a woman and thinks he can say whatever he wants. Better a fascist than a faggot!"

"Enough with sex and sexuality, everyone is as fluid as they want. You want to see me become fluid too?"

"Monica Cirinnà? Long live Cirinnà. She did well to display that sign saying “God, Country and Family”. But deep down it's true: life is “shit” because there are crazy constraints. In Italy, we are too conditioned. Cirinnà is a bit like the Emma Bonino of our times. If it weren't for Bonino, we women would still be under the thumb. With a noose around our necks. You've had enough, long live to Bonino, long live to Cirinnà."

"I am a Mussolini, but I believe in democracy."

"(Referring to Claude Juncker) Who is this Juncker guy?! He looks like a yoghurt to me!"

"I work with the people in the piazza, where there is reality. Here in Parliament, often there is a mystification of reality. They are not representatives of the people. They represent themselves and their own interests."

"If the situation is resolved, the Lega [Nord] will disappear."

"In life we all change: on the basis of our experiences, of things that happen. Talking to my kids, I understood that for [them], sexual orientation isn't even a topic: it's like putting on a dress that you can change, and nobody cares what it's like."

"My grandfather is the greatest of them all; I will continue to believe this all my life."

"Not only Gianfranco Fini, but the entire world, including the Vatican and the pope, should beg forgiveness of Israel."

"Once again Italy needs a strong man. With my grandfather, at least there was a stand, a sense of responsibility, common sense and a love for Italy which is no more."

"The National Alliance is no longer to the right, it is in the centre. There is a huge space in the society of the right for me to occupy. For the first time a woman is the leader of a political party [in Italy]."

"What does seeing a bit of music, a bit of Pride [Parade], a bit of freedom take away from you? Lock yourself up at home, take a Bible and read it."

"Why are they afraid of the young people who have discovered their country and their flag and the outstretched arm salute? This is not nostalgia but regrets for bygone days that have taught much about ideals and honesty and even about morality."

"Women in politics are too obedient. On the left they are really obedient, they don't believe in themselves. We are very, very few. And some of us don't want to go up against the leader of the party. But sometimes you have to say what you have to say. I don't like compromise. In politics you have to always choose a compromise and sometimes that I don't like."

"You are a bastard."

"It's not a question of right or left. Turncoats go where the power is."

"My grandfather had a plan, a strategy. He had to gain consensus. He was not a turncoat."

"I love Berlusconi. And I'll say it: I like Berlusconi. He's someone who greets you, listens to you, hears what you have to say. He creates a team. We don't do that here."

"Men... they're the same as always... they think that violence can solve problems. Make way for the women."

"I like journalists. Journalists are like confessors."

"Feltri is very clever. He has gold in his hands. He has gold in his hands. He has valid insights."

"Berlusconi loves [Mussolini] because she is so good at the spectacle of politics."
