Family Day, Catholics (and right) returned to the streets. ‘A million against civil unions’ – The Daily

The army of the Family Day is on the march. Today, for the third time in ten years, will attempt to thwart the recognition of civil unions claiming the primacy of the traditional family. With Italo train and discount, bus or hitchhiking does not matter: in a handful of hours converge at the Circus Maximus the many souls of colorful people parading against bill Cirinnà , expected Tuesday to proof of ‘ classroom. Meeting between 12 and carrying from 14 to 16:30, no more marches to Piazza San Giovanni that the organizers consider it too small to hold the million people that hope to mobilize through associations, movements and Catholics campaign of the Episcopal Conference, overwhelming set back to the profile of the Pontiff. Some cause for anxiety to the organizers, however, there is, of defections, attendance bulky and the hallmark event that crosses private ethics, morals and political reasons. And go you know, every time, the effect it does. This year’s six months ago in St. Peter’s Square, to say, he trumpeted a million and attendance were 400 thousand. But they helped impaludare old Cirinnà bill in the Senate, then fished out to send it directly to the classroom.

attendance today, then. On the official website of the event list of the “institutional membership” is empty: “Under renovation,” he said. But it is a misleading statement because the full-membership is chasing for days. In the front row associations always: Do not you touch my family, ProVita , Jurists for Life Committee and the article 26 Neocatechumenal . Some pieces of heavy artillery instead advancing sideways or backward. L ‘ Catholic Action and Cl, above all, joined without formally endorse the event, leaving you free to participate or not its members. It had happened June 20, 2015, a sign perhaps of little interest to encourage the effect of a referendum executive traction captive-scoutista like fer. It seems far away – the rest – the 2007 edition in which the Berlusconi-boys tried to shove the square with the Prodi government. The current one, moreover, returns the favor: he postponed the vote to February 2 and not by chance, but just to see what impact will today’s demonstration. If the square is warm, the Democratic Party will force the hand to jump the amendments and pass the bill. If – on the contrary – it will be packed, fall back on more merciful. So the square today becomes the thermometer to the political choices of the center. It is not conspiracy but project declared of the promoter of the event, Massimo Gandolfini : “The slowdown in the path of the bill Cirinnà, with the first vote on Tuesday next, makes it even more decisive results of our event, that will not weigh on ITER of the bill “.

Then there is the face of politics in politics, that is entirely within the Democratic Party and the government. For days we mark our presence as points to the abacus of the bill on civil unions. With special attention, of course, important pieces of ‘ Catholic areas . If the front dem shatters, if you reopen the old wound between Catholics and laity, there is relief that takes. Alfano said: do not go there, not on its own “as minister.” He does know, however, that

we go with the heart. Many alfaniani they will go with the whole body, while holding the foot in the government. For example, the national spokesperson of the New Centre-Right, Valentina Castaldini, who yesterday urged colleagues and party supporters to march to the Circus Maximus. And ‘to see how many will respond today, after the government granted a batch of seats the party to Angelino, including a Ministry for Regional Affairs “with responsibility to the family.” It is not known if Enrico Costa will be in the square. But there is another, Joseph Galletti , which has claimed the freedom to dissent from the design (of the law) of his own government. At his side Beppe Fioroni . Those lacking the “ but I can not “, wing Catholic: Rosy Bindi , Franco Monaco , Francesco Garafani and Ernesto Preziosi , the latter promoter of the document MPs cattodem for the deletion of the stepchild adoption. Absences justified by the need to prevent tensions in the Democratic Party, especially after the meeting that the Senate has given the order to stable and favorable unanimous vote on the bill Cirinnà plant. For the category opposite of “I can not but want”, we note Tajani , Vice President of the European Parliament.

Among the centrists have given membership or at least their support Maurizio Sacconi , Eugenia Roccella and the president of the Parliamentary Committee for the family Alessandro Pagano , Rocco Buttiglione , Lorenzo Cesa , Paola Binetti , Gianpiero D’Alia , Angelo Cera, Joseph De Mita and Antonio De Poli. Among the exiles, Gaetano Quagliariello , founder of Ideas, ask the secret ballot in the classroom on the bill Cirinnà, but has already officially declared to want to participate in Family Day. Forza Italy and the League will be on the front row but without leader, given also the biographies divorced from Berlusconi and Salvini. To give all shades can come, not least, those of Casa Pound and Forza Nuova. It ‘was Roberto Fiore in person to claim the right to the far right difedenre “the divine and natural law” by the attack of an order “radically immoral and revolutionary.” Words that have gone sideways at Gandolfini , Chairman of the Committee “We defend our children”, promoter of the Family Day. Faced membership convinced of the extreme right xenophobic, replied with some embarrassment and explained how the membership of these groups are not officially come to the committee and not to share their “mode d ‘ action and expression. ” Nothing more than that. Even a shaved head, moreover, makes number.
