He had denounced he felt abandoned and endangered together with his daughter, one of the two minors of group sexual violence discovered by the police and resulted in the“Masnada” operation. So much to be forced to change the country to escape from a ordeal made of insults and threats. Now Giovanni Piccolomayor of the city that was from Barlaam absurd to the national chronicles for an atrocious affair, in response to this cry of pain, invited the young woman and her family members to join the silent garrison of solidarity and closeness organized by the Municipality for April 13.
“An opportunity – he highlighted Piccolo – for demonstrate unity and commitment against all forms of violence On women and to reiterate that Seminara is not as it has been described in these days but it is a town that repudiates any form of violence and does not allow exploitation of this tragedy for personal or political purposes ».
Words that take on an even more pregnant meaning if we consider that the brother of the mayor Piccolo is involved in the terrible story. “The subtle line that separates public awareness from the risk of speculation on a tragedy of this reach – the mayor remarked – has led us so far to maintain a low profile, adopting the reserve and maximum delicacy to protect the girls, victims of one of the darkest and most sad pages in the history of our town. However, media resonance makes it fundamental not only to reiterate our condemnation towards these atrocities, but also concretely support those who have been affected ».
Piccolo then retraced his personal commitment and that of the Administration, to stay alongside the victim and reiterate firm condemnation towards all form of violence, manifested through a series of initiatives: “The Municipality – he recalled – decided to constitute a civil party in the process; As soon as the conditions allowed it, on November 16, 2023 I personally visited the young woman to transmit a message of closeness by the entire community. I welcomed the parents in my office in common to listen to their concerns and offer concrete support, in a moment of sincere comparison and solidarity. A psychological support service has been activated, entrusted to our social workers, to help the young woman and her family to overcome this trauma with adequate accompaniment “.
“To guarantee an even more immediate and accessible support – concluded the first citizen – an application has been developed that allows anyone who feels the victim of violence or lives a discomfort to ask for help, also anonymously”.
