Abortion also ends up breaking the unity of the majority. In the Chamber, shortly before the approval of the Pnrr decree, an agenda of the Democratic Party which aims to protect the right to terminate a pregnancy in clinics is examined.
Among these there are 15 members of the Northern League, including the group leader Riccardo Molinari, and an elected member of the Italian team, Paolo Emilio Russo. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, meanwhile, speaks of "fake news" and accuses: "Whoever wants to change the 194 is the left, not us. We - she claims - only want to guarantee free choices." The Pro Vita & Famiglia association says it is "surprised" by the League's abstention on the "shameful" agenda. In Forza Italia, the same reasoning of the 15 Northern League members guided the vote of Russo and, yesterday, also of Deborah Bergamini. The executive had first asked for the Democrats' agenda to be set aside, but in the end reiterated the contrary opinion.
