Agcom "acquits" Barbara Palombelli for the words on femicides pronounced during an episode of Forum last September. The news on facebook is Claudia Pratelli, councilor for School, Training and Work of the Giunta Gualtieri in Rome. "A few months ago - he writes - I presented a complaint to Agcom for the words of Barbara Palombelli on femicides that I considered very serious. Palombelli argued during an episode of Forum that" it is legitimate to ask whether these men are completely out of their minds or have been in somehow exasperated by their women "to get to kill them. Agcom's response to my complaint comes in the week of November 25, international day for the elimination of violence against women.However, it is only an apparent recognition of our reasons: Palombelli's statements blame the victim and de-responsibility the perpetrator of the violence and are configured as a violation, but Agcom justifies this violation in light of the journalist's supervening apologies, which instead articulated precisely the concepts expressed in the original sentence object of my report ".
"Words have weight, especially if those who pronounce them are those who exercise a profession with them that affect the formation of public opinion - he adds -. And we all have a responsibility to banish, from the media and public discourse, the hateful concept of "You are looking for it". We have a huge cultural problem: any superficial attitude is complicit and should not be accepted. Today we take to the streets and parade through the streets of Rome with this determination, without any ambiguity ".
