The famous controversy linked to femicide
In the last period, Barbara has been the epicenter of many controversies linked to sentences pronounced during “Lo Sportello di Forum” on cases of femicide. Referring to some women killed by their men, Barbara said: “A question we have to ask ourselves. Were these men completely insane, obfuscated or was there aggressive and infuriating behavior on the other side as well? The storm immediately erupted on social media. After the controversy generated by these sentences, Barbara Palombelli returns to social networks and writes that: “Family violence, the growing aggressiveness that takes the place of love, the misunderstanding that blinds and makes murderers require meticulous investigations and confront us with many questions. . When a man or a woman cannot control their anger, we have to question ourselves. Setting lists and handing down 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”.
