Far-right Italian leader blasted for posting rape video
[REUTERS] Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni, leading the race to become Italia's next prime minister, was accused on Monday of shameful electioneering by her rivals after posting a video of a Ukrainian woman being raped by a migrant in an Italian city.The 55-year-old woman was assaulted on a pavement in the city of Piacenza early Sunday by an asylum seeker from Guinea,
Police confirmed the arrest and said the man was being detained as the investigation continued. Meloni, whose Brothers of Italia party heads the polls ahead of a Sept. 25 national election, tweeted the video, which had been posted on a newspaper website with the image blurred but the woman's cries clearly audible. "One cannot remain silent in the face of this atrocious episode of sexual violence against a Ukrainian woman carried out in daytime in Piacenza by an asylum seeker," Meloni wrote. "A hug to this woman. I will do everything I can to restore security to our cities." Posted by: Fred 2022-08-24 |
