The discussion on the maneuver in the Senate resumed at 4.35 pm, in view of the vote of confidence. The Senate Budget Committee, which met after the suspension of the work, gave a favorable opinion on the maxi-amendment to the maneuver which incorporates the remarks made by the State Accounting Office and from which the rules declared inadmissible by the President of Palazzo Madama were removed. The government therefore placed confidence in the maxi-amendment, the announcement to the House was made by the Minister for Parliamentary Relations, Federico D'Incà. Immediately afterwards, the president Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati started the general discussion.

Stop cannabis light, chaos in the Chamber
In the morning, it was chaos in the Chamber following the judgment of inadmissibility of the rules on the so-called liberalization of cannabis light. The provision, signed by Senator 5S Matteo Mantero and approved by the majority in the Budget Committee, was judged "inadmissible" by Senate President Elisabetta Casellati for "foreignness". The measure envisaged that industrial hemp with a Thc content not exceeding 0.5% was no longer considered as a narcotic substance. The eligibility was sought by the League, which declared war on the measure together with the Brothers of Italy.

Two members of the M5S therefore asked President Casellati to demonstrate that the choice was not the result of "pressure from her political party". The president replied, explaining that it was a "purely technical decision" and added: "If you consider this measure important for the majority, get a bill."

"I want to technically thank the President of the Senate on behalf of all the recovery communities from the dependencies that work in Italy and on behalf of the Italian families for having avoided the shame of the drug dealer State," said Matteo Salvini, speaking in the Senate Chamber after the excerpt from the maneuver of the cannabis light rules.

"It would be a dangerous precedent if the opinion of President Casellati weighed on the Cannabis Light on the inadmissibility judgment. Jobs and tax revenues are at stake, the amendment is perfectly relevant to the Budget Law. The majority has all the will to proceed with legislative provision to protect a growing supply chain that takes resources away from organized crime: the inadmissibility judgment puts this possibility out of the game. We remain willing to solve the problem as soon as possible "said deputy Pd, Lia Quartapelle.
