There is an increasing incidence of
foreign aggressors against women in Italy, Deputy Premier,
Transport Minister and right-wing League party leader Matteo
Salvini said Monday publishing a list of victims of femicide
"who are in our thoughts and prayers".
"Defending girls also means recognizing the inevitable and
growing incidence of foreign aggressors, a worrying fact that in
no way diminishes Italian cases but highlights the dangerous
consequences of uncontrolled immigration, often coming from
countries that do not share Western principles and values," he
said on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence
against Women.
"It is the moral duty of all of us to preserve and defend them
at all costs, for the safety of women today and tomorrow".
Salvini then published the following list of victims of a wave
of femicides in Italy, which were not all perpetrated by
foreigners, notably 22-year-old Giulia Cecchettin who was killed
by her jealous ex boyfriend Filippo Turetta, and Giulia
Tramontano, a seven-months-pregnant Campanian realtor murdered
by her hotel barman boyfriend Alessandro Impagnatiello near
Milan after she discovered he was cheating on her:
