What is happening
Lorena, a 45-year-old woman from the province of Lecce, was killed by her former partner in Barberino di Mugello, near Florence, on September 3, after being abducted and taken onto the A1 motorway, where she was thrown from a viaduct, according to AGI. In a social media post, Meloni said institutions must continue seeking solutions and improving existing measures. She said the government had doubled funding for anti-violence centres and shelters, strengthened the “Red Code” framework and made femicide an autonomous crime. Isceri called on political parties to act unanimously, work in schools and strengthen anti-violence centres and legal instruments.
Why is it on the Radar?
The case has prompted an appeal for political unity and renewed measures to protect women and prevent violence. Meloni said existing action was not sufficient and that institutions must intervene before it is too late.
