Italian term
interessate
Sono sempre stata contraria alle cosiddette quote rosa e alle rappresentanze di genere, perché ritengo che le persone debbano essere scelte in base alle loro competenze, alle loro idee e ai loro programmi. Che i partiti debbano fare di più per permettere alle donne di affermarsi è profondamente vero e anche abbastanza ovvio, ma provocano un certo fastidio le solite recriminazioni di facciata e magari anche interessate.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Interessato" often means "concerned" (the interested party, party concerned, person concerned: tutti gli interessati = all those concerned; a tutti gli interessati = to whom it may concern: source Corriere.it), so these would be objections made by people who have some "interest" in the matters being discussed.
