Rome, Sept. 5 (LaPresse) – “I listened to the appeal by Franco Isceri, Lorena’s father, the 45-year-old woman killed by her former partner after being kidnapped and taken onto the A1 motorway, where she was thrown from a viaduct. Words marked by a pain that is difficult even to imagine.” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on Facebook, adding: “A father asking the institutions not to be divided, to work together and to do everything possible to ensure that tragedies like the one that struck his daughter never happen again. In this parliamentary term – also thanks to the contribution and work of all the political forces represented in Parliament – we have doubled funding for anti-violence centres and shelters, also preventing the possibility that many of these facilities could close. We have made the freedom allowance permanent and strengthened it, reinforced a fundamental tool such as the ‘Red Code’, and introduced femicide as an autonomous crime, among the first in Europe.” “But faced with tragedies like Lorena’s, no one can think that what has been done is enough – she continues – Because every woman who is killed by someone who had promised to love, defend and protect her is a defeat for everyone. And all of us, together, must know how to react. We must continue to seek solutions, improve what already exists, and do everything possible to intervene before it is too late. We will continue to do our part, all the way. In Lorena’s name and in the name of all the victims. In the name of their families. In the name of a society that protects women and their freedom.”
