(ANSA) - PADUA, MAR 22 - On the registration of the children of homosexual couples in the registry office, "I intend to confirm the methods and procedures that have been applied by me and the Municipality of Padua since 2017, and as always done by communicating every act to the competent Authorities".
This was stated in a statement by the mayor of Padua, Sergio Giordani, after a "very cordial" meeting with the prefect, Raffaele Grassi.
"As mayor - continues Giordani - far from making it an ideological or partisan question, I have the duty to protect above all the pre-eminent interests of girls and boys".
