The battle on the Zan bill against homotransphobia, after the crossfire of recent days, made up of statements, Facebook posts and interviews, will return to the classrooms of Palazzo Madama tomorrow.
On the program there is a double appointment: at 11 Andrea Ostellari, chairman of the Justice commission and rapporteur of the provision will bring together the majority group leaders to present them with a possible shared working hypothesis after the proposed changes arrived from the parties. The premises for arriving at a synthesis, however, are not good, since the Pd and M5S have branded the amendments arrived from living Italy as “inadmissible”. The dems also reject the latest appeal from Matteo Salvini to the sender. “Let’s meet by tomorrow and share together a text that increases the penalties for those who discriminate or attack two boys or two girls who love each other, the freedom to love is sacred”, removing “the ideology, the involvement of children and the attack on freedom of thought “, insists the leader of the Carroccio, which however continues to be” not very credible and pretext “for Pd leaders and parliamentarians. The dem, in reality, are betting everything on the second round that will be played tomorrow in the Senate.
At 4.30 pm the hall of Palazzo Madama will in fact be called to vote, by majority vote, on the calendar proposed by the group leaders’ conference, which provides for the scheduling of the text in the assembly on 13 July. The ok, the insiders assure, except for twists, should be ensured. The vote, in fact, is by open ballot, so the ‘former Conte majority’ should hold up and bring home the result. Matteo Renzi and the IV senators will be in the game, but the leader warns: “Guys, there is a smell of burning. I can already see Roberto Calderoli making millions of amendments. Someone will be voted by secret ballot and if we go under the Zan law she is dead “, he reiterates. The prediction of the former premier is clear: “Most of the senators are preparing to bury the law by secret ballot and they are not those of Iv. I do not know if all 17 senators of Iv will vote in favor, as I believe and hope, but there are very deep internal divisions within M5S and Pd. If we go to count on Zan I think we will go on the thread of votes, Scalfarotto will allow instead to have protections “. After the tug-of-war that will be staged tomorrow, in any case, the match will be played in the courtroom. Some amendments that Iv will present to the text, in fact, could have a majority thanks to the votes of part of the center-right and the support of ‘snipers’ of the former Giallorossi majority: “6 in the Pd, 5-6 in the M5S”, speculates who is keeping accounts. The pentastellati, however, do not fit: “In the path of the law against homotransphobia, the 5 Star Movement has always shown great determination and loyalty – emphasizes the group leader at Palazzo Madama Ettore Licheri – The M5S has only one word and no one can allow ourselves to insinuate doubts about our compactness or, worse, prepare low blows for the day of the vote in the Senate
