Meloni: ‘I’ll be Called Racist, But Foreigners are Overrepresented in Violent Crimes Against Women’
by Thomas Brooke | RemixNovember 26th, 2024 6:00 AMPrime Minister Giorgia Meloni has brushed off anticipated cries of racism to highlight the stark reality that a disproportionate number of foreign nationals are responsible for violent crimes against women in Italy.
Speaking on the World Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Meloni said, “Now I will be defined as racist, but there is a greater incidence, unfortunately, in cases of sexual violence, by immigrant people, especially illegally, because when you have nothing, a degeneration occurs which can lead everywhere.”
The Italian premier cited alarming statistics to support her claim. “Foreigners in our country represent 8 percent of the entire population, and in our country in 2023, there were 5,832 sexual assaults, and of these, 2,524 were committed by foreigners, i.e., 43.3 percent of the total committed by a representative 8 percent of the entire population.”
I'll be very curious to see the statistics in the USA.
