"With the adoption of the basic text of the proposals on homotransphobia - he added - we are moving towards the landing in the Chamber scheduled on July 27, after the electoral reform. The text foresees a prison sentence of one to four years for those who instigate violence homophobic, intervening on article 604 bis of the penal code. Its purpose is to expand the audience of the recipients of the protection and provide adequate tools against the so-called "hate crimes" (hate crimes), in addition to the diffusion of the culture of respect and tolerance.
