Franco Isceri's appeal against violence against women: united politics for Lorena

«My daughter is a good girl, extraordinary, polite, studious and dedicated to study and work. He had many dreams and plans but now he no longer has them." Franco Isceri uses the present tense to describe his daughter Lorena, the woman locked in the trunk of a car and then thrown like an object from an A1 viaduct by her ex Federico Vella. He does so in a heartbreaking but lucid appeal to politicians to "be united" in the fight against male violence against women. An appeal that many of the majority and opposition respond to, from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to PD secretary Elly Schlein. Even further isolating the position of General Roberto Vannacci, who continued to criticize the crime of femicide on the sidelines of the Cernobbio Forum.

Meloni takes up the appeal

The response from Giorgia Meloni, who had already remembered Lorena on Friday 4 September at the Fdi party in Bari for the Government's longevity record, was not long in coming. The Prime Minister first of all claims the work carried out in this legislature «also thanks to the contribution and work of all the political forces present in Parliament»: «We have doubled the resources for anti-violence centers and shelters, also avoiding the possibility that many of these structures could close. We have made the income of freedom structural and strengthened, strengthened a fundamental instrument such as the "Red Code", introduced femicide as an independent crime among the first in Europe".

The Prime Minister's promise

But Meloni admits that it is not enough, he recognizes that «all of us must continue to look for solutions, to improve what already exists, to do everything possible to intervene before it is too late». Then the promise: «We will continue to do our part, to the end. In the name of Lorena and all the victims. In the name of their families. In the name of a society that protects women and their freedom." A freedom that "in Italy is not negotiable", he had shouted in Bari amidst applause, in evident distant controversy with Vannacci.
