The process for the legalization of cannabis in Parliament starts again. Today, in the Justice Committee of the Chamber, the Bureau has organized the calendar of its work in which the new process of the related legislative proposals is noted.
From the statements of the president of the same commission Mario Perantoni, M5s deputy, we learn that on Monday 12 April the proposals will be the subject of general discussion: “The matter is daily news in our country, it requires legislative interventions so it is important that the parliament gives adequate answers », explains the president.
In recent days there had been various reactions on the subject. From the right that showed itself more conservative than ever to the left that had instead pressed for legalization, attacking the opponents.
“The syringes are for vaccinations, not for drugs. Weed must be in the lawns, not in cigarettes. Forza Italia says it clearly: never legal drugs. Draghi yes, drugs no ». So on the news the senator of Forza Italia Maurizio Gasparri.
Even the deputy of the Lega Claudio Borghi yesterday reiterated the position of his party: “Anything else the government wants to do, in addition to the emergency plans, needs a political majority, so they don’t bother with cannabis. or with the Zan law, because these are issues that go far beyond what prompted us to form this government ».
The reply came directly from the national secretariat of the Italian Left, first with Nicola Fratoianni and then with Giovanni Paglia: “The only shame is the bigoted hypocrisy of the right of this country – Fratoianni states – the only serious thing to do would be to legalize cannabis, so you fight the organized crime, so more money reaches the state coffers, so you make a choice of common sense “.
“There is a majority in this Parliament to quickly pass the Zan law and legalize cannabis. Can it really not be done because of the blackmail of the Gasparri and the Pillons? – adds Paglia – do we really have to stay in the Middle Ages in order not to upset Draghi and his terrible ministerial balance? There are instead a thousand reasons – concludes the exponent of SI – to go on like trains: we are there ».
