Regeni case: his mother says, ‘No funding? That’s a shame, but we’re used to injustice’

Milan, 13 April (LaPresse) – “When we heard the news, we felt sorry for those who had put their heart, mind and soul into this documentary. We’ve grown accustomed to such injustices.” So said Paola Deffendi, Giulio Regeni’s mother, regarding the Ministry of Culture’s Commission’s refusal to grant funding for the documentary ‘Giulio Regeni, tutto il male del mondo’. “We knew ‘vaguely’ that a funding application had been submitted,” she said. “As far as Italy is concerned, this is a country that does not value culture and research.”
