Izabel Giacomotto-Monteforte: “Don’t let losers and squares run the government”
7 September 5331

In an interview with L-ewwel24, Alagona Faction deputy Izabel Giacomotto-Monteforte has issued a direct appeal to Cildanian voters: “Don’t let losers and squares run the government”. In a wide-ranging interview, the former minister commented on her time in government, as well as her party’s prospects at the next election. Towards the end of the interview, she was asked about the recent failure of legislation that would have liberalised Cildania’s smoking laws.

Previously the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Giacomotto-Monteforte directed fierce criticism towards the current government and accused the Prime Minister of “abandoning rural populations”. In her response, she claimed that current regulation was stifling small tobacco farmers and “starving their families”.

Tobacco cultivation is a central part of the Cildanian agriculture industry. Despite this, some have claimed that tobacco is damaging to public health. Giacomotto-Monteforte dismissed these concerns. “I have been smoking since I was fourteen years old,” she said, “and I am still here, so what is the problem?” When pressed on the issue, she continued, “Countries like Dankuk and Dundorf have some of the strictest smoking laws in the world. Look at their women, they are all fat! It is a real shame.”

Referencing government opposition to the proposed “Love and Liberties” bill, Giacomotto-Monteforte added, “Are we going to listen to these men who are afraid to see a woman’s breasts on the television? I think these guys are taking revenge on the country for their high school experiences.” At the end of the interview, the former minister pledged to continue the fight for personal freedoms in Cildania and urged voters to “reject the nanny state”.
