Renzi, close mediation. Read, I don't trust the homophobe Salvini (ANSA)


After the smoke of the words of recent days, from today on the Zan bill will begin to see the roast of the facts, that is the parliamentary acts that should concretize what has been said up to now.

At 12 the deadline for presenting the amendments to modify the text expires, and these will first of all allow us to see if there is a real desire for mediation on the part of those who have invoked it

, such as Lega and Iv.

A mediation that requires a minimum of mutual trust, which at the moment does not seem to exist, given the mutual accusations also recorded during the day, with Enrico Letta calling Matteo Salvini "homophobic".

The leader of Iv Matteo Renzi, said that in his opinion "a compromise is possible on articles 1, 4, and 7", namely those which, respectively, introduce the concept of gender identity, which deal with freedom of expression and concerning anti-discrimination teaching in schools.

According to Renzi, "an agreement is within reach", because "the League, after months of obstruction, now says it is available".

In this sense, the leader of IV says he "doesn't understand why Letta got in the way."

And to claim the invitation to "dialogue" was also Salvini.

However, Iv and Lega did not clarify the contents of their proposals on the three articles indicated by Renzi. The proposal of the president of the Justice Commission, the Northern League player Andrea Ostellari, judged by Iv "a step forward" and rejected by the Democratic Party, was not endorsed by the League, which indeed reiterated its intention to aim at introducing a simple common aggravating circumstance for crimes of homo-transphobic hatred, a point on which Pd, M5s and Leu will never access.

Certainly, amendments will come from Julia Unterberger, leader of the Autonomies: "personally I would immediately vote the bill as it is, but I acknowledge that the right does not vote it and to favor a compromise I will present an amendment on articles 1, 4 and 7" to "favor a compromise". Even the socialist Riccardo Nencini will present one on article 4 because its formulation "is slippery": the fear is that some prosecutors may distort its application, pursuing simple opinions.

Article 4, introduced in the House at the request of FI in the Constitutional Affairs Committee, is now the most at risk. In any case, when voting on the amendments, regardless of who presented them, it will come to political issues: Will Iv be willing to vote together with the center-right and therefore shift its center of gravity to the right? In the event of an uncertain outcome, will the Democratic Party say yes, for example on article 4, to an amendment that is still acceptable and does not make the text inconsistent? Nodes that will not appear on Tuesday, given that there are still several interventions in general discussion and that for the next few days the Chamber will first have to vote on some decrees. At Dem, there is no trust in the League: "Who is homophobic in Europe cannot be a credible interlocutor in Italy",Enrico Letta said, recalling that the League in the European Parliament voted in favor of Orban's Hungary and its anti-LGBT law. "One cannot be homophobic in Europe and then want to dialogue with us: it is incompatible".
