Milan, 5 Sept. (LaPresse) – “The appeal by Franco Isceri, the father of Lorena, who was brutally murdered by her ex-boyfriend, moves me deeply as a father, as a husband and as a public figure. My thoughts are with him and his family during this grief that no one should ever have to endure, along with my admiration for the courage with which he is turning an immense tragedy into a message for us all.” This was stated by Paolo Zangrillo, Minister for Public Administration. “This Government has done a great deal in recent years in terms of legislation, prevention and the protection of women. Tragedies such as this remind us that much remains to be done. We must take action before violence erupts, educating our children from a young age about respect, the freedom of others and the realisation that love is never about possession, control or domination. It is a responsibility that involves families, schools, institutions and society as a whole,” he continued. “To Franco, Lorena’s father, I want to say quite simply: your plea will not fall on deaf ears. The pain and courage with which you speak Lorena’s name today must become a concrete commitment for all of us. If we truly listen to you, your testimony can help save other lives in the future. It is a duty we owe to Lorena, to all women and to our children,” the minister concluded.
