But it has been infected“, It was the justification of the 30 years heard by the researchers. But the family of the two boys defend their older brother: “Michele had gone out to convince his sister María Paola to return home, but. he did not ram her, it was an accident“.” If we want to understand what it means, we must have one law against homolesbobitrasphobiaThis is one of the most explicit cases, ”he said. Daniela falanga, President of Arcigay Naples. Even from M5, Pd and LeU, there is a return to ask for legislative intervention.

According to the reconstruction of the investigators, the man persecuted his sister and transgender partner Cyrus (to the registry office Cira Migliore) while on Friday night they traveled from Caivano ad Acerra.

The Ciro’s motherA few hours after the incident, he made his message public on Facebook: he accused Michele Antonio “of having murder committed deliberately because she couldn’t bear her sister dating a trans man. Children accept themselves as they come. Paola rests in peace ”.

Arcigay: “It is not a cultural problem, we need a law against homolesbobitrasphobia”
That of the two brothers is a story of intolerance, fights and threats that had lasted some time: María Paola and her partner had moved to Acerra, where they had found more tranquility than in Green park from Caivano (Naples), where they lived with their families. Daniela falanga, President of Arcigay Naples, is shocked and angry: “This is an egregious case in which they manifest two serious violence, a femicide and an act of transphobia -he says-, with a woman who loses her life while her partner experiences detachment from her partner. This episode also poses a problem. related to printingHow do you count these things? If we want to understand what it means to have one law against homolesbobitrasphobia, this is one of the most explicit cases. Here is a murderer, there is gender violence, there is denial on the part of a press that does not know how to define facts and people and Italy to change ”.

Antonello Sannino, Secretary of Arcigay Naples, respond to the words of the words of Don Maurizio Patriciello, pastor of Caivano, who told the press: “I don’t think he really wanted to kill his sister, maybe I wanted to teach him a lesson, investigations will establish this. It certainly wasn’t culturally prepared live the sister’s relationship ”. “It is not just a question of lack of culture – says Sannino – They are unacceptable words of Don Maurizio Patriciello, it is not about cultural context also because these situations also occur in bourgeois contexts and of high social and cultural level ”.

However, the parish priest became the spokesman for the family and, speaking publicly, declared that “it is a broken family and that there is no peace for a daughter who has just come of age. But we are careful to paint it as a homophobia story. They may not even know what it is. The truth is that they were not prepared and did not see with good eyes the relationship with Ciro, but I know they were getting used to the idea. However, they were worried because María Paola had left home when she was only 18 years old and they feared for a future without work and more uncertain than ever ”.

Campania Councilor for Equal Opportunities, Chiara mardan, writes on Facebook that “the regional law approved last August against homotransphobia has an urgent and necessary need to be implemented.” The text provides for the establishment of a Regional Observatory on violence and discrimination determined by sexual orientation and gender identity to collect data and monitor phenomena related to violence and discrimination, as well as to collaborate with entities, organizations and associations to prevent and combat phenomena protected by law. “María Paola loved and was with Ciro and the difference is a human and cultural abyss”, concludes Marciani.

M5s: “History of degradation, homophobia and brutality. We need legislative action “
“A story of decay, of homophobia, of brutality, of subculture of shame and honor. A life broken for only one reason: to love a person of the same sex ”, commented the deputy director of the 5 star movement in the Senate, Alessandra maiorino. “What happened in Caivano leaves consternation – added the senator – it is unacceptable that, even today, love is considered it’s a shame“Call for a change in Parliament Mario perantoni, president of the Justice Commission in the Chamber and M5S deputy: “It is no longer possible to postpone – he stressed – specific legislation against violence and discrimination on grounds related to sexual orientation. The bill that we approved in the Justice Committee is now on hold of the exam in the classroom. It won’t be easy, due to resistors of certain political forces, but I firmly believe that in the face of the many, too many, repeated cases of homophobia, it is Parliament’s duty to intervene ”, concluded the pentastellato.

Zingaretti: “We need a yes to the law of the Democratic Party”
“In Caivano, in the province of Naples, María Paola was murdered by her brother because she had an affair with a transsexual – wrote the secretary of the Democratic Party on Facebook: Nicola Zingaretti – Pain, anger, indignation. Another dramatic confirmation of the urgency of passing the law of the Democratic Party against homophobia and transphobia ”.

Of the same opinion too Nicola Fratoianni, national spokesman for the Italian left (LeU): “Today’s shocking tragedy in Campania with the murder of Maria Paola, guilty of being with an ‘infected’, as her homicidal brother confessed, tells us how much we need a law against homotransphobia . Salvini me Meloni Will they continue to have the courage not to recognize this emergency to which politics must respond immediately? You cannot leave room for the willing, full of ignorance and prejudice on both sides, to hypocritical whitewashed graves. “

Melons: “We need exemplary punishment.” Ruotolo (Mixed): “What country is where you die of love?”
“There’s a heinous violence which is rampant among young people and continues to lead to similar episodes. An unacceptable degradation that we have a duty to stem as soon as possible. The State must make itself heard again and give a clear message that violence is not tolerated and whoever practices it will have to answer to the law. Now exemplary punishment for this terrible murderer ”, writes the leader of FdI on Facebook Giorgia Meloni.

“That horror the death of Maria Paola Gaglione. What country is this where ‘life is lost’? for love? #notransphobia ”, writes the senator on Facebook. Sandro Ruotolo of the mixed group.
