October 28, 2021Very high tension between the parties after yesterday's secret vote in the Senate on the 'trap' that effectively ditched the Zan law against homotransphobia. The first signatory of the law, Alessandro Zan, repeats his accusations to Italia Viva that "she started flirting with the center-right". The Renzians reject the accusations, Boschi replies: "The law has crushed the Pd and M5s with a suicide strategy" and Bonetti speaks of "irresponsible wall to wall". While the Northern League player Calderoli jokes: "They did what he expects to have a parachute and instead has a backpack full of cans of canned meat".

"The secret vote granted by President Casellati was a stretch. Behind the secret vote" on the Zan bill "was hidden the cowardly attitude of those who claimed to support the law, but drowned it. Six months will have to pass according to the regulation of the Senate, after which we will get up and then we will see if there are the conditions to approve the law but the time is tight ", because the legislature is about to expire. This was said by the deputy of the Democratic Party, Alessandro Zan, to the microphones of Rainews24, after yesterday's sinking of the Zan bill in the Senate. "I do not give up and I will never give up, I do not want that image of shameful applause to pass" in the Senate yesterday. "The real country and the young people want this law. We are really lagging behind in Europe," he added.

"Having rejected the Zan Bill served to give signals on the Quirinale. Yesterday a majority was born in the Senate in the secret vote". This was stated by Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, speaking to 'L'aria che tira' on La7, adding that "games have been played on the Quirinale on the skin of an anti-discrimination bill".

In the morning Di Maio wrote on Facebook: "It is useless to pretend to be civil rights champions, when yesterday in the Senate some political parties ditched the Zan bill. This is the reality of the facts. A provision in favor of civil rights. , a measure of dignity, swept away to the humiliating applause of the Chamber ". The British newspaper 'Guardian' "defines yesterday's vote 'shameful' - continues Di Maio - I confirm and subscribe. This is the image of Italy that politics delivers to the world". 

It is a great pain and it is also a great pain to have seen the enthusiasm at the news that rights have not been guaranteed. There is little to celebrate ". This was said by the president of the Region Nicola Zingaretti, on the sidelines of a press conference in Rome." The reflection I am making - continues Zingaretti - is what I have always done in recent months: unfortunately it is the yet another example of a Parliament elected after the defeat of 2018, therefore with power relations inside the parliamentary halls, in my opinion, dated to a date marked by the worst historical defeat of the left and of the post-war democratic forces. And the outcome of yesterday's vote, I would like to say, in disagreement with what I perceive to be the orientations of Italy, is yet another example of power relations dated to 2018 ".

"It was a wrong choice on the part of the Democratic Party to put such a divisive issue on the table of parliamentary debate, as is the ius soli. We must focus on how to defeat the pandemic". Thus Antonio Tajani, national coordinator of Forza Italia, to Rainews24, on the Zan Ddl. "The issue was not a priority, there is already a law. We are in favor of a tightening of sanctions. Letta's opening was instrumental, he understood that even on the left there were people who did not agree with that bill as formulated and tried to make an opening at the last moment. What happened has nothing to do with the strong commitment to the protection of homosexual people. We want to increase penalties,but it is different from the crime of opinion and from interventions that instill doubt in young people. The Zan Bill included gender culture in the school system, especially at the lower levels. The law can be changed, but now the priority is to save lives and we must protect life and the economy, "he added.
