civil unions, the government asks the trust. Revolt of the opposition. The CEI: “Defeat for all” – The Republic

Rome – It was widely predicted and arrived, the request for confidence on civil unions. A formally present it to the Chamber – after the ok of the Senate to the bill – was the minister for relations with Parliament Maria Elena Boschi .

The request has aroused strong protests from classroom part of the opposition. The League in particular was thrown against the majority guilty – is the group leader accuses Massimiliano Fedriga – to applaud the Minister of Forests at the time.

Fedriga goes down hard: “the majority even applauded when the government puts the trust. you are the serfs that to be re-nominated do everything. Shame on you.” And again: “You are four lackeys of Renzi”. Fedriga therefore calls for the intervention of Boldrini, Grasso and Mattarella because “parliamentary democracy is at risk.” Also vehement Congressman fittiano, former PDL, Maurizio Bianconi: “The minister is, puts the trust, bears sit and goes? Where think you are?”.

also M5s disputes and raises tone of voice: “the Parliament is for the Government a doormat on which to wipe your feet, parliamentarians should respond to citizens and not to obey a master chief accustomed to tread this courtroom,” argues Alfonso Bonafede . And Antonio Palmieri FI: “On this bill had been promised freedom ‘of conscience. Freedom’ if e ‘taken, the awareness that we hope will show the poll.”

the current president of Roberto Giachetti (the dem candidate for mayor of Rome) has therefore suspended the session of the House to convene the conference of leaders that shortly after, around 15, has set the times for the vote with confidence.

THE CARD

We will vote tomorrow with the vote by roll call, the so called, which will start at 14:10. Explanations of votes from 12.30. The deadline for the submission of agendas will expire at 10 am and will not be provided for the question time. the turning point with the requirement of a vote of confidence came just as Alfio Marchini , one of the candidates running for mayor Rome, announces: “If I win, do not celebrate homosexual unions”. Immediately the same Giachetti tells him: “I can not wait to vote on the bill in the House.”

They spend a few minutes, go down against the harsh intervention of the Secretary General of the CEI: “The government has its own logic, its
requirements, probably will also have his reasons, but the vote of confidence, not only for this government but also for the past, often represents a defeat for all “attacks Monsignor Nunzio Galantino , on behalf of the Italian bishops. It warns: “There is the need of policies that are more attentive, and that really put the center of the importance of the family, made up of mother, father, children.”

But the Woods Rebukes point by point: “the law on civil unions is a historic achievement for our country, of which we should be very proud.” And, responding to the controversy over the decision to trust: “It has a political significance: this law is a fundamental element of the government’s agenda.”

Claim around the Minister for Relations with Parliament ( and now also for Equal opportunities ), and adds: “After two years of work and decades of waiting by homosexuals, tomorrow we will have for the first time a law governing the unions of the same sex. we are the government of the reforms but also rights: the third sector, the law on ‘after us’, autism law, and also in the area of ​​civil rights law that I hope tomorrow the parliament approves definitively. we are a step away from a historic milestone. we must deal with this passage in mind the faces of the women and men who tomorrow will have the recognition of the value of their life plan, as a couple. “
