Clementina Forleo has been awarded the ‘Premio Borsellino‘ (Prize in memory of the murdered judge Paolo Borsellino).
The prize is awarded for social and civic committment. Her tearful reaction, she explained, was due to the fact that she was ‘deeply perturbed” by the attempts to belittle her work which appeared the same day in a national newspaper, which compared her to a “swollen river”, a mad woman. She concluded that : ‘At the moment we really need to fight against these despicable attemps to denigrate judges’.
See Beppe Grillo’s post on this nice witchhunt.
