ROME
the worst is over: today at 14 the Aula of the Chamber will vote the confidence placed yesterday by the government on the measure establishing unions civil between same-sex couples, without the stepchild adoption. And tomorrow at the latest, as announced Sunday Matteo Renzi, the law goes through, by dropping the curtain on decades of failed attempts and controversy. That did not stop, because the front of the contrary gay unions remains large: by the opposition to Catholics from all sides, from the Family Day people to the bishops.
Yesterday, the secretary general of the Italian Bishops Conference, Monsignor Nunzio Galantino criticized the merit and method: “The government has its own logic, its needs, you probably will also have his reasons, but the vote of confidence is often a defeat for everyone. ”
The reply came from Maria Elena Boschi minister, who spoke of “historic milestone”: “The government has always said that the confidence of this law took on a political significance because we believe a key element of ‘governance agenda’. Flag of an executive “of the reforms, but also of the rights.” Woods also cited the reorganization of the third sector, the law on the “after us”, the autism. But Palazzo Chigi civil unions are a key piece, well ahead of Europe, which has long been calling on Italy to provide. A stage too important to risk the pitfalls in the urn rispedirebbero secret that the text in the Senate.
The minister, yesterday delegated to equal opportunities and to international adoptions, was targeted in the Chamber of the opposition protests, they will vote no to all confidence. And who violently criticized the elimination of parliamentary debate ahead of only 380 amendments tabled and only four deputies registered to illustrate them, thus no obstructionist threats. This is demonstrated by the fact that the questions and issues precedent yesterday were rated only by the League and FDI, which they had submitted.
The Northern League Massimiliano Fedriga attacked the deputies Democratic Party: “You are the serfs, applauded Woods just to be re-nominated.” The Five Star, by Alessandro Di Battista, have stigmatized “the renziana” democracy bypassing the discussion. They are far away are the days when in the Senate is preparing to vote on the law, subject to backtrack on supercanguro. Now they lie, “They have ousted the debate in the Senate just to make the deal with Verdini and Alfano.” Even from the minority Democratic Party emerging discontent. Senator Miguel Gotor agrees with Galantino: trust in the House “is a new error that creates a dangerous precedent.”
But in the House, there are still the numbers to pass the bill. Despite fibrillation and some not even to the trust, the centrists Ap have aligned. The leader Maurizio Lupi was clear: the text is the result of “a good mediation.” And in the end they will vote yes, but only to the bill, including the 32 members of the Italian Left, and some members of Forza Italy.
To add salt to the day was Alfio Marchini, candidate for mayor in Rome supported by Forza Italy, ANSA during a forum when asked if would celebrate gay marriage as the former mayor Ignazio Marino responded “I have nothing against the recognition of civil rights, but it is not the duty of the mayor to do these things so do not celebrate gay marriages if I were to win the election.” Significant words in less than a month by administrative, a clear signal to the electorate moderate and Catholic. Granted the hornet’s nest of reactions. And once again the halt came from Woods: “Every mayor is called first and foremost to respect the law and apply it. They are the first citizens and must lead by example. ”
