Naples. “We don’t want revenge, we only ask for true justice for Ornella and for all women, so that what happened to my daughter doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

Speaking is Giuseppe Pinto, father of Ornella, barbarically killed by her partner, from whom she was separating, in front of their 4-year-old son. from whom she wanted to separate. Peppe, union representative of the Uil and candidate with the Greens in 2010, has decided to meet the Regional Councilor of Europa Verde Francesco Emilio Borrelli to clarify some aspects of the story and ensure that an end is put to gossip and media hype about Ornella's death.

Borrelli himself recounted this meeting in a statement in which he reported the conversation with Giuseppe Pinto: "I really don't have the strength to speak but I have to do it for Ornella, she who made so many sacrifices, did so many humble jobs to study and in the end managed to graduate with 110 cum laude and obtain various master's degrees - says the father of the young woman who was killed -. We don't want revenge, we only ask for true justice for Ornella and for all women, so that what happened to my daughter doesn't happen to anyone else. Now we need concrete answers from politics and the judiciary. I would also like the gossip about my daughter to stop. So much nonsense and falsehoods have been written that have increased our pain".

“We are united around the pain of Peppe and the entire Pinto family for the tragic passing of Ornella – adds councilor Borrelli. We at Europa Verde will dedicate a red bench to her in the Parco della Vita in Brusciano, to her who spent her life in social work. Beyond the symbolic gestures, which we will continue to make and support, concrete interventions are needed. The judiciary must give justice to Ornella's family by providing very harsh sentences for her murderer, certainly not like for the murder of Fortuna Bellissario”. And then the councilor of Europa Verde adds: “To stop violence against women, a legal reform is needed, we must intervene at the first signs, at the first signals. There is a lot of work to do. Finally, we ask that Ornella's murderer, unless there are particular reasons, be locked up in the Poggioreale prison and not in Terni where he was arrested”.

This morning Ornella Pinto was also remembered at the Cardarelli Hospital where doctors had tried in vain to save her last Saturday. The hospital staff wanted to pay homage to Ornella's memory with yellow tulips and a long round of applause.
THE MEMORIAL AT CARDARELLI HOSPITAL
The same health workers who fought until the end to try to save the young mother from death gathered at the red bench of the Cardarelli for a moment of emotional reflection. With them, among others, the strategic management, Senator Valeria Valente (president of the Femicide Commission) and the head of the Dafne anti-violence center, Elvira Reale. "Today we remind ourselves - said the general manager Giuseppe Longo - that we have a great responsibility towards all women. Gender violence is something hateful, a tragedy against which we must continue to spend all our energy. I feel a strong duty to thank all our workers who have always put their heart and soul, in addition to their professionalism, in dealing with such difficult and delicate situations".
Senator Valeria Valente's words were also moving and decisive: "We need to work to ensure that violence against women is not one of those issues that we continue to cry about every time a crime is committed - she said -. We need a decisive change of pace, the ability to read violence for what it is: a profoundly unbalanced relationship between men and women. We must be able to not turn our heads away when faced with signs that are often very obvious, and this applies to everyone. We must believe women - she concluded to Senator Valente - and make a careful risk assessment, only in this way can we intervene in time to avoid the worst".
In compliance with distancing and anti-contagion regulations, this morning's demonstration saw the presence of doctors, nurses and social health workers off duty. A few minutes that were, however, used to send a strong message: Cardarelli does not forget, Cardarelli is and will always be open to women's requests for help. "Our pink path - administrative director Maria Maiorano and health director Giuseppe Russo recalled - takes on dozens and dozens of young women every year who thus find a way out of the nightmare. Violence against women is a topic towards which we do not intend to give an inch, and indeed I am very proud of the work that every day, for years now, is done by all our staff in taking care of those who rely on us. Just as I am proud to be able to say that our emergency room, thanks to the pink code, works with cutting-edge protocols designed to protect women victims of violence. The death of Ornella Pinto is something that has struck us deeply, an additional warning that must push us to always do better. Our hope is that one day there will no longer be any pink paths or codes, that the word femicide will disappear from our vocabulary. Until that time, however, we will all be here to fight this battle together with the women who ask us for help”.
