Chi editor Alfonso Signorini
said Thursday he was not sorry about running a suggestive
picture of Civil Service Minister Marianna Madia eating an
icecream earlier this week.
"I'm not sorry, not at all...I'd it again, in a heartbeat.
Chi will continue to do irreverent stories as part of its
public-service mission," Signorini said on one of the TV
channels of his owner, ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi.
Madia responded by saying "everyone should assume their
responsibility.
She said the incriminated pic "speaks for itself",
declining to comment on the image it projected.
The gossip mag's photo showed the minister pushing a
chocolate cone of gelato into her mouth and then licking her
lips.
The caption said: "She knows how to do it with an ice
cream".
