The last chance of confrontation between the League and the Democratic Party, both shareholders of the Draghi government of broad agreements, was the signing by the federal secretary of the Northern League, Matteo Salvini, of the Manifesto of sovereignists, alongside Le Pen and Orban. A choice that has been widely criticized by the Democratic Party. «We cannot be at the same time with Europeanism and with Orban – underlined the secretary Enrico Letta -. One cannot be a supporter of Draghi and Orban together. It simply cannot be done. “” Having read the document I signed for Europe, he did not read it – was the reply from the Northern League leader, speaking to Skytg24 -, I do not comment on his provocations “.
Pressing Lega-Iv to modify the text of the Zan bill
But already on the Zan bill, the bill against homotransphobia, the braking of the Carroccio – with 170 hearings scheduled by Andrea Ostellari (Lega), president of the Senate Justice Commission – had aroused the outcry and criticism of the Pd. Then the move by Italia viva to delete the reference to gender identity from the text completely displaced the ranks of the majority that had voted for the measure in November 2020 in Montecitorio. Result: Lega and Renziani find themselves on the same side in asking for corrections, largely coinciding on articles 1, 4 and 7. Iv’s proposal is by The idea is to return to the Scalfarotto text where only homophobia and transphobia. On the other hand, the Democratic Party and the Five Stars are pressing for the text to be brought to the Senate as it is, without changes. Tomorrow morning, Tuesday 6 July, the group leader will try to reach an agreement. The Senate should schedule the provision for July 13. Letta aims to go to the classroom and see what happens. In general, the Dems are worried about the risk that the “golden share” of the executive will end up in the hands of Salvini, especially if he wins other M5s defectors.

The Democratic Party: the Northern League’s offer is not credible
The Vatican’s criticisms of the Zan Bill highlighted the divisions between the governing parties. The bill has already been approved in the House in November, when the majority was Pd-M5s. “If there is a desire for dialogue, we are going to improve the text. If, on the other hand, everyone closes in their own enclosure, the law will not be approved ”, Salvini clarified. The Democratic Party has held back: “The League’s offer is not credible.” For the secretary Letta, «the best thing is to go to Parliament and everyone will have their say. Ours is to approve it as it is ”, without changes as requested by the center-right.
Salvini to parties: we share text without ideology
Salvini made an appeal to the parties. «We accept the invitation of the Holy See – he said – let us meet by tomorrow and share together a text that increases the penalties for those who discriminate or attack two boys or girls who love each other, the freedom to love is sacred. If from the DDL Zan we remove the ideology, the involvement of children and the attack on freedom of thought, intervening on articles 1, 4 and 7, finally we stop fighting and approve a norm of protection and civilization. If the Democratic Party, on the other hand, refuses to listen and dialogue, also invoked by many associations and movements of gays, lesbians and feminists, it will take on the responsibility of burying this law. I am not interested in arguing – concluded the leader of the League -, I work to solve problems and protect the Italians ».
The match for the Rai board
In addition to the Zan Bill, a new divisive dossier is looming for the majority. The vote of the members of the Rai board of directors is also expected on 7 July in the Chamber and the Senate (as possible Ad continues to be named Laura Cioli). And here too there are problems, both because in the M5s there seems to be no agreement on the name of the lawyer Alessandro Di Majo, and because Fdi (would like Giampaolo Rossi to confirm) and Fi (with Simona Agnes) are competing for a place (the League should confirm Igor De Biasio, Francesca Bria would be on pole for the Pd). A few more days to put order in the chaos.
