“A defeat? I do not believe. for the first time the Parliament deals with the subject ‘

It seemed the ‘ impasse , and instead there may be a turning point in the bill on civil unions. Senate President Pietro Grasso announced that it could not admit supercanguri, or those amendments “premissivi» contestatissimi 5 Stars and Catholics of the Democratic Party. And simultaneously could dramatically reduce the number of permissible amendments and that the vote secret. Consequently, the process could be accelerated and the law could enjoy a fairly wide majority, on paper. With the sacrifice, probably, the stepchild adoption, which will be voted on by secret ballot.

the turning
A sudden turn, which is not yet certainty (the formalization we will by Wednesday) but that could bring the debate in its parliamentary dimension, sweeping away obstructions and reciprocal opening the way for mediation in the sunlight at least on the part of the text that is not about the stepchild adoption (adopting the natural child of the partner ). One solution, that of “no” to supercanguri, would not mind to President Sergio Mattarella, concerned about any forcing.

the amendments
President Grasso received in the evening of Thursday, the dossier containing the amendments. From the initial 6100 I fell to 1.200 “gross.” A file of size “human”, defines it. Removing inadmissible, strangers, and identical to climb, they will remain less than half: that is, between 400 and 500 amendments. physiological fee for a bill. Because fat is oriented to reject the super kangaroos? Because it would be a disproportionate tool to the objective: if dell’Italicum, the amendment Esposito had to cope with 50 000 amendments, here will be “only” 400 or 500. atomic weapon for a conventional war. In short, the president seems to be saying to the parties: just tricks and tricks, play your game in Parliament.

the step child
Moreover, the bill was on a siding. Unpacking the stepchild was difficult option, politically and technically. Marcucci in the heart of the bill, to the point, the stepchild were provided (with a separate chapter, f), and therefore difficult spacchettabili.
Judith Pini, in a calculation relaunched by Monica Cirinnà, had estimated in 166 working days time to deal with the amendments. But the estimate is not worth more. The amendments are very low, and in addition to an open vote. Those secret vote will be “a handful.” In addition, the quota of the times, or harmonization, will still be required.

Pd and 5 Stars
At this point Matteo Renzi has more room to maneuver. Would get one unit of the party, maybe facade. No need to impose the stepchild to pass the law. And maybe then he can accuse the “unreliable” 5 Stars to have sunk a part in the secret ballot.

Woods
And the other parties? You will have to try mediation, as well as the minister explained Maria Elena Boschi: “In the Senate the Democratic Party is not self-sufficient, neither is if we add up the votes of Sel. So we have to create a meeting point between the forces that are there.” The 5 Star, if the law did not undergo major changes, could not fail to vote for the law. And on the other hand could not serve their votes, if any amendment simply come cattodem and alfaniani.
