Euthanasia: Italian radicals, 250 thousand signatures is a strong signal

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 28 - "Within a month and a half, having exceeded the 250,000 signatures on the question asking for the legalization of euthanasia is a strong and clear signal. The Italians still believe in the referendum instrument and subscribe to the question because they want to decide on their own life ", declared Massimiliano Iervolino, secretary of the Italian Radicals, in a note.

   "Large mobilizations such as the referendum ones - he continues - are important because they help to reduce the gap between citizens and institutions. Especially if, as in the case of the end of life, Parliament continues to remain deaf to requests from civil society despite the proposed laws of popular initiative filed in 2013 and several calls by the Constitutional Court. This battle that is in our DNA continues to see us mobilized in the collection of signatures to reach together with the organizing committee the goal of the 500,000 subscriptions necessary to hold the referendum ", concludes (ANSA).
