the line called the Palazzo Chigi, after the usual meeting between the prime minister secretary Matteo Renzi, the minister Maria Elena Boschi and team leaders Ettore Rosato and Luigi Zanda: the stepchild adoption do not remove them. But the pressure of the centrist allies in government intensifies. And on the eve of the vote on the amendments the Democratic Party proceeds with the count of numbers in the Senate on the bill on civil unions, aware that no mortgage can be made on Article 5 on adoptions. Will the House to decide, almost certainly by secret ballot.

“You work for a parliamentary majority to approve the text,” confirms Rosato. “Our position has not changed for weeks. The Five Star decisions have not changed anything: they are unreliable and these remain. ” It weighs the freedom of conscience left to MPs with Saturday’s post on Beppe Grillo’s blog. Yesterday, after the revolt of the base on social, with a new intervention has been forced to clarify: the online voting of 28 October 2014 was based on a question that had contained “explicit and direct references to stepchild adoption or explanations necessary for express an informed vote on such a complex and sensitive issue. ” Thus, “Beppe Grillo and Casaleggio Gianroberto, as guarantors of the Movement, have assumed the responsibility to give a further vote on the blog and leave the spokesman freedom to decide according to their conscience.” A face clarification also to dispel the clouds over the vice president of the Luigi Di Maio Chamber, member of the Executive Board and considered by many as the “little hand” that triggered the about-face.

deflate tensions has been the goal of the day yesterday. No new controversy by pentastellati senators against freedom of conscience, but also confirms that the majority will vote on the stepchild. “The sensitivity of the senators is almost entirely directed to vote yes to the stepchild” explicit Alberto Airola. Echoes Maurizio Buccarella, vice president of the Justice Commission, which has closely followed the work on the bill: “We will vote the law also in deference to the will of our members.” In figures, the 35 senators pentastellati two will not vote because they are on maternity leave, 28 other (less number) number nevertheless ensure their support.

The work on the amendments in the meantime has not ended. The Democratic Party has held a working meeting to figure out how to thin out the proposed amendments and join forces: will probably remain on track amendment of cattodem on foster strengthened instead of stepchild, but you work to find a majority on the Lumia proposal, which eliminates any automatic for adoption and strengthens the role of the juvenile court. The party, which the Senate has 112 MPs, is convinced that at the end of the 30 Catholics at least ten will vote in favor. In addition, aid should arrive 15 verdiniani Ala of 19, 6 Senators Sel with ex M5S who sit in the Mixed, 20 of Autonomy and some “dissident” by Fi and popular area.

But the game will be played on the wire of the 161 votes needed. Tomorrow morning the Bureau dem in the Senate will have the last word on the amendments. To give substance to the agreement signed by the leaders (via the bulk of 6 thousand amendments to the League must proceed to withdraw the 90% in exchange for the withdrawal of the “kangaroo” weblog Pd) of its 5 thousand proposals. The leader Gian Marco Hundred is determined to respect the pact, but must overcome the resentment of Roberto Calderoli asking informal assurances to the President of the Senate Pietro Grasso on the admissibility of the remaining amendments.

It will be fat to have the ‘last word on votes secrets. The Democratic Party hopes that it is limited to 10-15. But after the “no” to the balance of the stepchild adoption – requested yesterday by Beatrice Lorenzin minister and Giampiero D’Alia – they are alfaniani, by the mouth of the leader Renato Schifani, to raise its voice: “The secret votes are becoming increasingly needed. ” It could start as early Wednesday on an amendment Ap-Idea-Fi-League that blocks the passage in the voting on items. “Renzi is likely to stay with the match in hand,” says the blue Deborah Bergamini. But the most probable hypothesis, and the dem know, is that the law steps without Article 5. For the prime minister, it would still be a victory.
