the secret vote as the most suitable instrument for the protection of freedom of conscience. On the day dell’87esimo anniversary of the Lateran Pacts get, by Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, a new call of the Italian bishops on civil unions. And this time l ‘ “hope” does not just reaffirm the general principles but goes into the details of the debate in the Senate, and this causes the strong reaction of some members of the government, the Left and a slice of the Democratic Party. “We hope that the debate in Parliament is democratic and that freedom of conscience is not only respected but also promoted with a secret ballot,” are the words of the president of the CEI. Immediate and dry replication Undersecretary Luciano Pizzetti Reforms: “The exhortations are right and acceptable, but how to adjust the debate the Senate decides the president of the Senate. Not the president of the CEI “. And if the Undersecretary for Foreign Benedetto Della Vedova says “baffled” and democratic Sergio Lo Giudice speaks of “interference in the affairs of the state”, the Vice President of the Senate, Valeria Fedeli, asks “respect for the republican institutions.”

A secret ballot will decide on Senate President Pietro Grasso. Which has already made it clear, by denying the secret vote in the first vote on Wednesday on the order of Calderoli-Quagliariello day, that there will be few: Grease, in fact, the subject matter covered by the draft bill on civil unions Cirinnà falls mainly in the sphere of ‘ Article 2 of the Constitution on social rights rather than the scope of Article 29 on marriage and family. However time is running out, and after the illustration of the amendments made yesterday, Tuesday you go to vote on items. So they consume at this time the last attempts to reach an agreement in a democratic face back home that dissent of about 28 Catholic Democrats opposed to stepchild adoption, namely the adoption of the natural son of the partners within the gay couple. It is therefore no coincidence that the words of Bagnasco to come right now.

In the focus of cattodem, who yesterday met for lunch in the Senate restaurant with the “bridge builder” Giorgio Tonini, it is finished ” kangaroo “signed by renziano Andrea Marcucci. “It creates many difficulties,” says Rosa Maria Di Giorgi, who along with Stefano Lepri heads the revolt of cattodem in the Senate. At the moment, however, the premissivo amendment remains, because it is the same Marcucci to say they are ready to retire only if the League revoke “its 86 amendments-kangaroos.” But it is not air agreement with the League, unwilling to make things easier in a divided Democratic Party. And with the “kangaroo”, which incorporates the principles of the entire law, they would decay most of the amendments restricting greatly the possibility of dissent. At this time it crops up a chance to converge on foster and pre-foster care to avoid extending the institution of adoption to homosexual couples. But records off it is noted that custody could create constitutional problems that would be created by the disparity with heterosexual couples for whom the stepchild adoption is already granted. And in any case foster care would perhaps make peace within the Democratic Party, but would not have the votes of the majority shareholders: the alfaniani are opposed also foster care and the group of the Movement 5 stars – except for 2 against – is deployed for the draft bill as it stands Cirinnà despite the freedom of conscience left in extremis by the leader Beppe Grillo.

the only real possibility of compromise is to strengthen the procedure, making it harder to get the stepchild adoption. Probably not enough to retract the dissent of cattodem, but would still be an internal conciliatory gesture. Also because there are many, starting with the president emeritus and life senator Giorgio Napolitano, to be concerned by the poisoned atmosphere within the Democratic Party. “We need an effort to bring the positions,” Napolitano said yesterday.
