In a post on social media on Nov. 27, Meloni questioned “how anyone could think of fighting violence against women by engaging in such intolerable acts of violence and intimidation.”
“Should violence always be condemned or only when it is directed at someone whose ideas we share?” the Italian prime minister wrote.
“A vandalized headquarters is always unacceptable. Especially if you ravage it in the name of women who have been raped, beaten, or killed,” she added.
Io non so come si pensi di combattere la violenza contro le donne rendendosi protagonisti di intollerabili atti di violenza e intimidazione come quelli avvenuti sabato a danno dell’associazione Pro Vita e Famiglia.
Voglio interrogare tutti su una questione banale: la violenza…

Pro Vita & Famiglia (“Pro-Life and Family”) is an Italian nonprofit organization that helps organize Italy’s annual March for Life. The association’s headquarters were also vandalized during Rome’s LGBTQ Pride parade in June.
The pro-life association said Nov. 26 that an incendiary weapon was also found inside the office near the broken windows, which according to the initial findings of the police could have been an unexploded Molotov cocktail or a similar weapon.
