"I don't know whether to consider it a sort of nemesis or a mockery of fate, to receive a request for dismissal on the eve of March 8, in which threats of rape are defined as 'inurban and very rude sentences'".
Nadia Conticelli, current leader of the Democratic Party at the Turin City Council writes this in an open letter, published on the pages of a local newspaper.
The reference is to the request for archiving the dossier born from the 2018 complaint of the then regional councilor against the authors of the threatening and offensive sentences that he had found under one of his posts in which he commented on the work of the then Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini.
The post in question had been photographed and reposted by an exponent of the Carroccio and a deluge of insults had been unleashed on his bulletin board, with the wish to end up raped, she and her daughters.
"Four years after the fact and twenty-six years after rape became a crime against the person and not against morality, we discover with incredulous anger that sexual insults aimed at women are a matter of 'education', not a crime - writes Conticelli -. And even worse, as one of the lawyers argues (sic!) defender, after all it was a political discussion. It is not normal that the body of women always ends up on the dock.
