Italian Minister of Transport Matteo Salvini has confirmed that he liked posts by rising singer Clara, who gained prominence at the Sanremo Music Festival. The revelation came after Clara jokingly mentioned in an interview that Salvini might fine her for traffic violations, adding, "He likes my posts at night."
The comment sparked curiosity and speculation, prompting Salvini to address the issue. He admitted to liking Clara's posts, explaining that he often likes content he finds appealing, regardless of the creator. "I didn't deny it," Salvini stated, adding that he doesn't even follow Clara but came across her posts. He clarified that he usually browses Instagram in the evening after work and that his social media activity doesn't imply any personal interest beyond appreciating her music.
The incident highlights the evolving relationship between politicians, popular culture, and social media. While platforms like Instagram offer public figures a chance to connect with audiences, they also create opportunities for misunderstandings and gossip.
