BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on Friday denied tensions between the government and the Berlusconi family's Mediaset TV group after it broadcast off-air sexist comments from her partner which played a part in their separation.

"The relations between the government and Mediaset are the (normal) relations between the government and a large Italian company," she told reporters after a meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels.
