In the Senate, the battle over the Zan bill proceeds with an oratory marathon. Saved in a corner for a single vote, by the suspension requested by the center-right, after a first oratory marathon it was postponed to Tuesday 20 July, at 16.30. Fundamental to avoid the suspension was the vote of Alfonso Ciampolillo, the senator of the mixed group, former pentastellato, who already with a slow motion vote voted his confidence in the Conte II government last January. The classroom was suspended after about twenty interventions, out of a total of 60 senators registered to speak. Discussion of the bill will therefore continue on 20 July, the day on which, at 12, the deadline for the presentation of amendments is also set.
Malpezzi (Pd): “No to amendments, but to qualifying odg”
“The situation is delicate but it does not depend on us who continue to be convinced of this law of civilization that the country has been waiting for for many years and of this text which, in the discussion in the Chamber, has already obtained a very articulated point of mediation. We go on waiting for the amendments of the other political forces to see which direction they want to take. I believe it is right to maintain the line of not presenting amendments, but obviously I cannot prevent any senator from doing so, while instead I think it is very useful and correct to continue on the path of qualifying agendas “, said the president of the senators of the Democratic Party, Simona. Malpezzi, speaking at the assembly of the group.

De Vecchis (Lega): “Microphone doesn’t work, it’s censorship”
Question and answer in the Senate between the vice president of Anna Rossomando and the Northern League senator William De Vecchis. “Maybe we have some problems with the microphone. Senator, try with the microphone in the nearby station », says Rossomando, who chairs the Chamber, after having given the floor to the Northern League senator. The Fiumicino parliamentarian does not miss the opportunity for a joke: “Mr. President, I thought the censorship had begun already now.” “Always trust in the Presidency and rely on it with confidence and serenity”, replies the dem. «I trust in the Presidency, but …. Let’s start with the censorship, ”he says with implicit reference to the Zan bill, opposed by the right precisely because of the alleged liberticidal content of the law.
Binetti: “This is not the case, everything is at stake on the amendments”
“As it stands now, the Zan law will not pass, it cannot pass because it contains obvious distortions. The possibility that it can be approved is played out in the amendments that we will present by next Tuesday. But let the proposals really be examined in plenary, as we have not been able to do so in committee. The amendments make it possible to give a positive message to the LGBT world and to the whole world to say to all of them: do not be afraid, ”Forza Italia senator Paola Binetti said in the classroom, during the debate on the Zan bill. “I believe that mediation, which has not yet started, is the sine qua non for bringing this law into effect.”
Ruspandini (FdI): “The bill is supported by obvious hypocrisy”
“The supporters of this law speak of a plot by the right to obscure this project of civilization, while the movement in support of the Zan Bill draws its lifeblood from multinationals, from those who manage social networks and large financial power centers all aligned in the promotion of lgbt movement ghettoizing all those who think differently, starting from Eastern Europe: like the barbarians of Orban who have a traditionalist vision of life “, said the senator of the Brothers of Italy Massimo Ruspandini, during the debate in the Chamber of the Ddl Zan. “Instead of thinking of Orban – said the parliamentarian – why don’t you think of the millions of Muslims you bring into Europe and who punish homosexuality with the death penalty? Or to Qatar, where it is being discussed whether women can go to a football match? On these facts there is absolute silence on the part of the sirens, common sense and civilization, demonstrating the fact that this bill is supported by a blatant hypocrisy ».
