the Hall is inflamed by a request from Arengo on the subject of gender-based violence. Yellow on data provided to GREVIO
Work resumed in the morning with the examination of the first reading of the reform of the prison system. To present it to the Chamber the Secretary of Justicewho explained how the PdL takes its cue from the indications already formulated by the Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment of the European Council, and by the European Prison Rules. The objective is a reconciliation of the needs of the prison reality, with an individualized treatment of the inmate and respectful of the human dignity; and this to facilitate the social reintegration. Maximum attention, therefore, to rights and guarantees. In short, all the matter is exhaustively regulated: from conditions of the structure to the treatment of data; give her sanitary procedure to the provisions relating to the personal. General appreciation, in the debate, for the intentions of the intervention. But from many quarters – both from the benches of the Opposition and of the Majority – the emphasis has been placed on the current inadequacy of the Capuchin Prison, emphasizing how difficult it is to combine the rules in question with this structure. Secretary Ugolini, for his part, recalled how it was the hypothesis of the construction of a prison from scratch has been shelved; rather focusing on retraining of the existing one. New areas have already been identified for specific sections, and the related ones have been launched tenders.
We then moved on to the paragraph relating to Instances of Arengo. Three of those in question. Starting from the request for an adequate location, in the Historic Centre, of the Commemorative stele of the Arengo of families of people with disabilities. Favorable opinion from Secretary Ugolini; already identified – as a possible location – the garden adjacent to the High Schools. The City Council has also proposed the idea of a annual rotation in the various castles of the area. In the subsequent debate, generalized support for the Arengo motion; Maximum attention to a sensitive and heartfelt theme such as that of the is also desired disability. The instance was unanimously approved.
We then moved on to the next one, so that suitable measures are taken to reduce the number of cases of violence against women that are prescribed, and it is ensured that all acts of violence against women covered by the Istanbul Convention are prosecuted quickly. In the Instance of Arengo reference was made to a rather severe report from GREVIO, after a monitoring carried out on Repubblica 2 years ago. On one passage in particular, the debate: when you specify how “legal professionals” drew the attention of the international body speaking of a “estimated number of 545 cases” that fell into statute of limitations in 2017“many of which were cases of Domestic violence”. Actually in that year the cases prescribed they were 6thundered the Secretary of Justice, who also cited opinions of theEqual Opportunities Authority. Ugolini also underlined how priority and urgency criteria have already been established for facts of this type, so that they can be prosecuted quickly. Also remember the recent criminal procedure reform, which provides for longer terms for completing the investigation, thus avoiding the risk of prescription. Since 2020, he remarked, there have been no more filings. Application therefore not acceptable in his opinion. Of the same opinion are the directors of NPR, RETE, and PDCS. Harsh interventions against those who supplied GREVIO numbers defined as false, busted. Solicit yourself insights; whoever threw mud against the country – it has been said – must answer for it. Some have spoken of politically exploited problems; and the risk that women victims of violence, faced with similar numbers, become discouraged e I give up on proceeding. In favor of the Instance, however – net of the controversy over the data – Free, which, while registering a growing sensitivity in the country and in the institutions, on these issues, invites us to keep our guard up and “do more”, even on phenomena such as “secondary victimization”. Also blamed is the “aggressiveness” that characterized the debate on the numbers provided to GREVIO. The problem – has been observed by the shoals of RF – is to be addressed not only at the judicial level but also at an educational level. From the ranks of Mixed group particular attention was paid to the phenomenon of the “submerged”; reiterating that the only interest to be protected is that of the victims. Also an exponent of Tomorrow Motus Liberi he invited not to lose sight of the objective; speaking of a dramatic and widespread social problem. It was then read to a OdG agreed by the Majority forcesin which a mandate is given to the Justice Secretariat and to Congress to transmit the Arengo Request to the Tribunal and the opinion of the Authority to ascertain theidentity of anyone who may have provided false information to GREVIOalso to evaluate the possible commission of crimes. The instance of Arengo was rejected: 11 votes in favour; 26 those against.
