The Bishop of Palermo, Corrado Lorefice, condemns violence against women and calls for the city to follow the example of Joseph, who took care of Mary and her son. He denounces the recent tragedy of Giulia Cecchettin in Padua and criticizes a society consumed by fake news and divisive attitudes. The crowd applauds his remarks, and the mayor, military officials, and city councilor stand by his side. The event culminates in a traditional tribute to the Virgin Mary by the firefighters, symbolizing unity and support for women.
