Violence against women, Salvini: “Chemical castration cures rapists”
“There is a correlation with immigration, there is no context in which to say it”
Politics (Rome). “Sexual violence has increased in correspondence with the migration phenomenon, you just need to go to the police station to verify it. The data, published by ISTAT and the ministries, clearly correlate the migratory phenomenon with the increase in these crimes,” declared Matteo Salvini, leader of the League and Minister of Infrastructure, speaking on the topic of security and flow management migratory. Salvini underlined that the problem has no color or nationality: “Giulia Cecchettin’s murderer is a damned white murderer, probably Catholic and very Italian. This shows that violence does not depend on ethnic origin, but the numbers on sexual crimes linked to immigration are undeniable, even if they bother some.” The minister also reiterated his position on chemical castration for the perpetrators of these crimes: “Whether the rapist is white, black, yellow or green, as far as I’m concerned, he should face chemical castration” (Stefano Chianese/alanews)
