Barbara Palombelli after the controversy: “I’m not that person there”

It took her more than twenty-four hours to respond to those who accused her of not having weighed well the words on femicide during her speech at the Forum desk but now, Barbara Palombelli is ready to (finally) return to the topic. The first speech was on Facebook, where he explained that “when a man or a woman does not control anger, we must question ourselves. Establishing roles and issuing sentences without knowing the facts can be done at rallies or on social media pages, not in court.

And even in a television room there is a duty to look at reality from all angles ». No step back from what was previously stated, to those words that considered “legitimate” to ask if the men who killed seven women in the last seven days had clashed with “An exasperating and aggressive behavior also on the other side”.

Palombelli returned to the subject also on television, during the promo for Italy tonight, the program that leads at 20.30 on Rete4: “Today a terrible thing happened: a sentence was extrapolated from a cause of Forum yesterday afternoon and was used for an avalanche of attacks, something that went through me from all sides. I have been accused of being complicit in femicides, of acquitting men who use violence against women. This betrays my whole life, dedicated to combating violence against women and children ». And again: «In my work I have always defended women, this is the most false thing that can exist. There is no anger, no behavior that can justify femicide or violence against women. This is very clear to me and it must be clear to you too. I apologize if it wasn’t clear enough. I apologize to the company and to all those who believed that I was that person there. I’m not that person there, it’s always me. “

A few hours later, Barbara Palombelli was a guest of Fourth Degree, again on Rete4, to reiterate his position and add that the offending sentences should be contextualized within the broader discourse made during the case dealt with at that moment in Forum, where it was shown “how anger is defused”. “No anger can justify murder. Alongside this, however, we must all take a step forward to understand how to defuse from the first moment. My intent was, and is, to prevent and understand the first gesture. The escalation, the behavior of someone who can then degenerate. So there you need a psychologist, you need support. Because we absolutely must prevent ». A fair speech, but that has nothing to do with his phrase of the “maddening” attitude of the victims.
