The Government delegate in the Valencian Community, Pilar Bernabé, presided over the minute of silence called at the headquarters of the Government Delegation in condemnation of the machista murder in Alicante and in support of the victim’s family and friends.

“In the face of this structural violence that is exercised against women and that rebounds in festive times, according to all statistics, it is necessary that all of us be a violet point,” said Barnabas. The government delegate added that “we must be especially vigilant to fight against gender violence.”

With the woman murdered in Alicante, three women and a child have been mortal victims of male violence in the Valencian Community so far this year. Today’s event began with Barnabas reading an institutional statement against gender violence.
