The Zan law has been at the center of the debate for some time. But now “what the will tell us will be very important government – Letta emphasized -, because he is the owner of relations with the Holy See: it is not an internal question in the Italian debate but of juridical relations between two States, regulated by Agreed“. But it seems that today the knots could come to a head. Because already yesterday, after the news, Mario Draghi he stressed the importance of the issue, on which, he assured, he will speak today in Parliament.

On the part of the political forces, division continues to prevail. For the Pd, as stated by Letta, “my impression having read the observations is that the bill does not affect that kind of concerns about school autonomy and freedom of expression, it is an intervention against hate crimes but does not limit freedom of expression “. Severe too Roberto Fico (M5S), Speaker of the House: “The answer” to the Vatican “is simple: Parliament is sovereign, the parliamentarians decide independently. The Zan bill has already passed to the House, now it is in the Senate, it is doing” its process “and we we do not accept interference. Parliament is sovereign and remains so “.
Opposite positions those Come on Italy and Lega. For the former “the law, as it is written, goes in the opposite direction to what you want to do, with respect to the rights of minorities and freedom of thought – this is what it declares Stefania Craxi -. But I believe that there is ample scope for discussing it, also bearing in mind the issues raised by the Vatican which, I stress, do not concern religion but freedom of expression “.” Maurizio Gasparri – even before the Vatican note regarding the Concordat, some parts of the Zan text: article 1 on gender self-declaration which configures an anthropological confusion that cannot be shared; Article 4 which entrusts the evaluation of any crimes of opinion to a judge, with the risk of sanctioning the defense of the traditional family as a denigration to other forms of cohabitation; article 7 which provides for the national day dedicated to the topic, with indoctrination in schools, even for young children without critical tools and whose sexual education is up to the family and not to associations and movements “.
And the League he never hid hostilities. “It is incredible how when something from the Church arrives that pleases the left, ‘hurray hurray’. When the defense of freedom of thought and the idea of the family arrives, then it is an interference – said the leader Matteo Salvini – . I’m sorry for Pd and M5s: they are absolutely in harmony, we must punish discrimination and abuse, removing children and schools from the competition and not inventing new crimes of opinion, which are certainly not needed at this moment “.
