"Social network criticism to Minister Bellanova: "She has just the eight grade". This is my attempt of translating a news article from italian to english. Social network abuse to Minister Bellanova: "She has finished only the eight grade". But Pd (Democratic Party) stands with her: "She totally has the right". On social networks outraged comments abound by people who consider the eight grade of Bellanova, the new Agricultural Minister in Mr. Conte's second government, proof of her inadequacy for the role which she's being appointed to. Bellanova was a farmhand and she fighted for farmhands rights as a trade unionist. During the years she developed deep political experience. Indeed she isn't new to government roles: she was Labor under-secretary in Mr. Renzi's government and Deputy Minister for Economic Development in Mr. Gentiloni's one. The entire PD (Democratic Party) has risen up to defend her, starting with the Party Secretary Nicola Zingaretti: "Standing with @Teresa Bellanova. No ifs or buts. Me and the entire @pdnetwork". Followed by the Duputy Secretary Andrea Orlando: "Proud of a PD who brings a former farmhand in government. Bellanova has only finished eight grade, but she studied at social struggle university. Often she has different ideas than mine, but the reasons why you are abusing her, are exactly the reasons why I most respect her." https://www.repubblica.it/politica/2019/09/05/news/critiche_social_alla_ministra_bellanova_ha_la_teza_media_ma_il_pd_la_difende-235308866/
