In a powerful call for unity, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has urged all political parties to come together in a collective fight against gender-based violence and femicides. Her plea follows the heartbreaking murder of 14-year-old Martina Carbonaro by her former boyfriend, an act that has shocked the nation and ignited urgent debate.
Speaking from Astana, Meloni expressed her readiness to collaborate across party lines, stating that the crisis is far larger than any political divide. “We must confront this issue together,” she said. “There is no need for appeals—I am here. What’s needed is a deep and shared reflection.”
The Premier is reaching out to the Bicameral Commission for Childhood to foster bipartisan cooperation. Her message resonated with proposals from opposition leader Elly Schlein, emphasizing that safeguarding future generations requires joint, decisive action.
Meloni warned of a troubling trend: increasing violence among youth and a rise in unexplained suicides. “If we don’t start asking the right questions,” she noted, “we will never find the right answers.”
This moment marks a potential turning point in Italian politics—one where unity may rise above division in the name of protecting the nation’s daughters.
