The Democratic Party returns to office in the Senate with the Zan bill, against the crimes of homotransphobia and discrimination.

"A battle never abandoned", are the words of the leader of the dem Enrico Letta who presents the same text, approved by the Chamber, but sunk in Palazzo Madama exactly six months ago.

The bill will be deposited in Palazzo Madama, first signed by the parent company dem Simona Malpezzi.


    "No ultimatum, no challenge, no flag", Letta says during a presentation press conference in the Senate together with Pd parliamentarians, Alessandro Zan, Monica Cirinnà and Simona Malpezzi.

The intention, she specifies, is to "re-tie that broken thread".

So back to Parliament and any changes will also be evaluated, she assures you, as long as they do not upset the goal: to bring home a law against hate crimes.

But it will have to be done "by the end of this legislature - underlines the dem leader - or it would be a defeat", because "The theme of rights is in the DNA of the Democratic Party", it is "the future of the party".

Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is organizing digital agora for participation from below "


    An uphill road, the promoters of the text are aware of this, and perhaps they hope to bring at least some of the groups that six months ago blocked the way to the provision on their side: Lega, Fdi, Iv and Forza Italia.

"It was a bad page in Parliament", says secretary Letta, recalling the "mocking applause" that followed the sinking of the law on 27 October last in the Chamber at Palazzo Madama.

It was, he tries to minimize, "a precipitate of the situation, many did not realize what was happening".

Now the Democratic Party will rely on the "Valorous representatives of the justice commission", a commission, which however Cirinnà herself defines as "difficult".


    There is still no law against hate crimes in Italy, the parliamentarians recall.

"We have not forgotten just as we do not forget the sad images of the missed opportunity in the Senate - - remembers Malpezzi - The path has stopped amidst screams, shouts and applause that have gone around the world. It has been stopped, but we have not stop us and the country that has clamored to move forward ".


    "As long as there is a legislature, there is hope, - finally Zan concludes - a law against hate crimes exists throughout Europe, except in Italy, Hungary and Poland. And Italy cannot become Orban's Hungary" .
