Security decree, Salvini to allies: ‘We need talks on chemical castration’

Rome, 6 June (LaPresse) – ‘As the League, we are working on other security measures, and I am thinking of chemical castration. I remain of the opinion that chemical castration is the only solution for paedophiles and rapists to prevent them from laying their hands on women and children again.’ These were the words of Deputy Prime Minister and League Secretary Matteo Salvini, speaking on the sidelines of his visit to the Carabinieri Village in Rome. "Have I already discussed this with my allies? Well, on chemical castration, Parliament has already approved an agenda establishing a round table. So, I invite all the majority forces to meet around a table next week because it is true that punishment must rehabilitate those who do wrong, but as far as I am concerned, paedophiles and rapists are beyond redemption. They must be medically prevented from ever doing the filthy things they have done," he added.
