(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 20 - Education Minister Maurizio Valditara
on Wednesday denied linking femicides to immigration in previous
statements, saying he had spoken about a concerning rise in
sexual violence which can also be attributed to forms of
marginalization due to irregular immigration.
"I never said femicides are the fault of immigrants.
"I said something different, which our country is experiencing a
rising phenomenon of sexual violence, which are another very sad
phenomenon", noted the minister (ANSA).
