Italy passed a law that criminalizes femicide and established a life sentence for perpetrators.

The Parliament’s decision, announced last Tuesday, “responds to a wave of homicides and crimes of violence directed against women in the country.”

Authorities made the decision by majority vote, with 237 votes, establishing “life imprisonment as the maximum punishment for those who murder a woman out of hatred, discrimination, or for acts of control, possession, or domination based on gender, or as retaliation for a refusal to maintain or continue an intimate relationship.”

The President of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, stated that the law demonstrates profound political unity against violence against women. She added that the government doubled funding for centers and shelters for victims of violence, “promoted an emergency hotline, and implemented innovative educational and awareness initiatives.”

The Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni, declared this Sunday that she will run as head of her Brothers of Italy party in the European Parliament elections.

This is an ambitious initiative, although if he were to win he would have to leave her position in Italy, as established by the laws of Parliament. In any case, his party would gain popularity.

Meloni noted, during a congress of his post-fascist party in the city of Pescara, on the shores of the Adriatic Sea: “We want to do in Europe exactly what we did in Italy on September 25, 2022: create a majority that unites the right-wing forces to finally send the opposition to the left.”

During her speech at this event, the Prime Minister of Italy highlighted the achievements in a year and a half of her mandate, “in the fight against irregular immigration and the protection of families and Christian values.”

Macron and Meloni held a closed-door meeting to discuss a variety of issues, mainly the migration crisis, the Euro-Mediterranean Med9 summit to be held on Friday in Malta and the upcoming informal European Council to be held in the Spanish city of Granada.

The meeting, which lasted around one hour and twenty minutes, was “cordial”, according to sources at the Chigi Palace. The Franco-Italian ‘roadmap’ is expected to be unveiled in phases at the various regional and international summits scheduled for the coming days.

While Italy and France are bringing closer positions on migration, the League, led by Matteo Salvini and which is part of the Italian government coalition, has criticized Germany for its position regarding aid for humanitarian NGOs working in the Mediterranean approved by the Bundestag.

The deputy secretary of the League, Andrea Crippa, stated this Tuesday that the German side seeks to “destabilize” the Italian Government by using migration to “reduce the consensus” existing in the center-right bloc.

“80 years ago, the German Government decided to invade States with its Army, but it went badly. Now they finance the invasion of illegal immigrants to destabilize governments that the social democrats do not like,” he said, reported in the newspaper La Repubblica.

The German Foreign Ministry reported on Friday that it would accept the funds approved by the Bundestag for a maritime rescue project and another for land assistance, each for an amount between 400,000 and 800,000 euros.
