it started in the afternoon in the House the way of the bill on civil unions that so many contrasts and discussions generated both within the majority and between majority and opposition during its process in the Senate. They were presented over 300 amendments to the bill Cirinnà. It contrasts are turned on in committee in the House, but on which the president of Matteo Renzi Council is determined to pass over quickly, placing confidence on the measure. Then, for the first time in history, Italy will have the rules for civil unions between persons of the same sex, as well as cohabitation in fact.
So, the timing expected that by Wednesday ‘May 11 is the confidence votes, and then give the final green light to the law at most the next day, Thursday’ 12 May. Tomorrow the House will vote on the questions of constitutionality and merit presented by the opposition to the bill Cirinna ‘. Then, successively, the government should announce confidence. So snap ’24 hours of time, as stipulated in the Regulation of the Chamber, must elapse before proceeding with the vote
Woods: the go will be worth my experience in politics
The final is civil unions “will be a historic moment for all of us, the fact to have approved this law I think it’s worth a political experience, having contributed and have done their part, “said Minister for reforms Maria Elena Woods speaking at the direction of the Democratic party.
Renzi Thursday the go with confidence
the measure is expected to be approved by Thursday. The intention to trust, so as to shelter the process from the risk of secret votes, was officially confirmed yesterday the Prime Minister Renzi: “Next week we will have the law on civil rights – said Fabio Fazio during the show “Che tempo che fa” – put the trust and the law will be voted on 12 May. ” Despite the fact the House majority is large, as always on ethical issues, the discontent are transverse to the sides and it is possible that some votes may create alternative alliances.
Tomorrow’s vote on the questions
The first major test for the majority is expected tomorrow morning. From 12 we will discuss and vote on the questions of constitutionality submitted by the opposition. Then, successively, the government should announce confidence.
But is not this vote to sow some concern, but those that may come out of some fixes developed by centrist members of the majority. There is, for example, who does not give up and he insists in asking that the mayors can exercise conscientious objection and, therefore, not to celebrate civil unions. On the opposite side there are fears the reopening of the debate on the “stepchild adoption” (usually carved in the Senate, ed), namely the possibility of adopting the son of partners that also apply to gay couples. No one imagines that the Chamber of the House would give the go ahead to a novelty of this magnitude but also the only talk is unpopular with Dem leaders. That point instead to a green light fast and, therefore, without incident in order to add a piece to puzzle of reforms.
Oppositions try the Aventine
On the chessboard Meanwhile, the parliamentary groups are positioning themselves, with part of the opposition attempted by choosing a Aventino as a sign of protest against confidence. Forza Italy, which last week brought together the group, however, has officially decided to bet on a double no, thus rejecting also the merit of the measure. A choir from which you are called out some Members and, above all, some deputies as Mara Carfagna and Stefania Prestigiacomo: for them will in fact red button at the time the trust but green when it comes to vote on civil unions. Still to instead define the line for grillini: say they are ready not to filibuster but they demand that the discussion is free. The trust would be “unacceptable”, they say. Position similar to that of the Italian Left, in this case, which will bring together its deputies this week to decide on the attitude to take: in favor of a more open legislation to gay couples (and therefore to the actual wedding) 20 MPs will vote definitely against the government’s confidence, but it is not yet defined the orientation to be taken at the time of the vote on the package of new rules.
New incoming regulations
The bill introduces new rights and obligations for same-sex or heterosexual couples. In particular, it allows civil unions for same sex couples to form a family unit recognized by the State. Children at hand, civil unions have many similarities with marriage among heterosexuals, starting from the possibility for one partner to take the other’s surname. The same-sex couples will be able to count on inheritance rights, moral and material assistance, the community of property (possible but not mandatory), on food in case of dissolution of the union and the survivor’s pension.
