In the wake of the Milan sexual assault incident(s) on New Year’s Eve, Francesca Galici, a reporter for Il Giornale, has written an op-ed asking, “Where are feminists?” Galici raises the point that the feminists on the left are always silent when it comes to the matter of sexual assaults in Italy committed by Muslim immigrants. We have similar issues in the US where our leftist feminists have nothing to say about how women are treated in Islamic societies.

The deafening silence of the feminists regarding the molestations of New Year’s Eve

11 January 2022-11:50

There have been no sit-ins and explicit demonstrations against what happened in Milan on New Year’s Eve, while the number of victims of the herd of foreigners rises to 9

The events of New Year’s Eve in Milan continue to stir public opinion for the gravity of what happened in Duomo Square shortly after midnight. With the passage of days, even more women have found the courage to report molestations suffered at the hands of the herd of foreigners who followed a plot similar to the well-known events in Cologne in 2016, even if fortunately, to a lesser extent.

What causes reflection, among other things, is the deafening silence from the left, which never misses the chance to claim the feminist battle over pronouns, but doesn’t use the same energy to condemn what Milan is becoming due to a policy that forces cultural integration, which, in many cases, is evidently not desired by the same immigrants.

Alessandro Morelli, vice minister of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility, has been attacked by the left in the last few days for having denounced the gravity of the events. Morelli has stressed how what happened in Milan is the result of the lack of true management of immigration in Milan on the part of the left which, on the other, hand, blames all responsibility on “society”.

The work of the police in the last few days has been huge, the investigators have traced 18 of the members of the herd who, between December 31-January 1, molested at least 9 women in the center of Milan, near Duomo Square, transforming a night of partying into a nightmare. “Scenes similar to those of Cologne, with a planned attack, surrounding and groping,” notes the Lega (party) municipal counselor, Silvia Sardone. The context in which the events played out becomes increasingly clear, exactly for this reason, as the (Lega) star lays out, “ensure the shameful silence of the feminists of the left, always ready to tear their clothes for feminist ends, but always silent in the face of this violence, the result of a culture incompatible with our society.”

It’s not the first time that the left prefers to close itself off in silence rather than expose itself by denouncing the gravity of acts done against women at the hands of foreign citizens. “Exactly like the case of Saman,”* continues Silvia Sardone, “we find ourselves faced with a consolidated idea, the result of traditions and Islamic religious teachings, which provides for the submission of women”. A situation that Italy cannot accept, that Milan cannot be seen as the scene of a similar barbarity. “Milan cannot become the avant-guard of an idea of women being oppressed and their rights stomped upon. The Pd (Partito Democratico) and their comrades need to figure out this real problem as quickly as possible, which breeds particularly in the multi-ethnic (city) peripheries and in certain Muslim environments, rather than chasing after utopias like integration, which in fact, has always shown itself to fail and which so many immigrants don’t even want,” concludes Silvia Sardone in her statement.
