Rome, 14 June (LaPresse) – “We know Vannacci’s game and we will not fall for his provocations by arguing against his sordid remarks on femicide, which above all insult the memory of hundreds of women killed by a backward and sexist culture. We simply tell him to resign himself to the fact that the crime of femicide exists and it certainly won’t be him who removes it from the criminal code. Perhaps the general is used to giving orders in the barracks, but in a democracy one must reckon with the views of citizens: Italian women will not allow any backsliding in the fight against gender-based violence and sexism. ‘The braying of a donkey will not erase a battle for civilisation.’ So says Mara Carfagna, secretary of Noi Moderati.
