Clash between Lega and Pd on the provision regarding mother prisoners.
The dem withdraw the signatures, causing it to lapse, after the more severe measures introduced by the majority.
The Carroccio announces that it will resubmit the text, while the controversy mounts and the exchange of accusations between the majority and opposition parties ignites.
The parliamentarians of the Democratic Party withdrew their signatures
on the bill in favor of mother prisoners and therefore the provision, having been presented by them in opposition, has lapsed.
"This was a text that had already been voted on by a branch of Parliament in the previous legislature. We had resubmitted it to improve the conditions of mother prisoners, but the majority transformed it by inserting rules
that actually make things worse by even allowing pregnant women or with children under one year of age to go to prison
. So it no longer makes sense, so we withdraw the signatures", explains the Dem Alessandro Zan.
"
We
are re-presenting the bill on detained mothers
since the Democratic Party, by withdrawing the signatures from the provision, made it void. And we will be re-presenting a text that contains the proposed amendments that had been approved and which provide that there are no more excuses for pregnant women. They too, if they go back to crime, will end up in prison".
To say it is the leader of the League in the Justice Commission of the Chamber Jacopo Morrone.
"
The Democratic Party frees Roma pickpockets who use children and pregnancy to avoid prison
and continue to commit crimes.
Shame on you.
The League had passed the law in the Justice Commission and will immediately resubmit the text: it is a question of health, justice and common sense, "writes the secretary of the League and deputy prime minister, Matteo Salvini, on Twitter. Ostellari, pregnancy will no longer be
an
excuse
.
"Our request, supported by the entire center-right, for a reform of article 146 of the penal code on the subject of pickpockets and pregnant thieves was accepted in the Justice Commission. Finally we change and pregnancy will not be an excuse: those who commit crimes will be sanctioned, while respecting the rights of all, including the unborn child".
This was underlined by the Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Ostellari, commenting on the proposed law on prison mothers whose amendments were examined by the Justice Commission of the Chamber yesterday.
"Now, for the good of the country - adds Ostellari -, we are waiting for the text to be brought to the courtroom as planned. In this way, pregnant pickpockets will not go unpunished and, according to the judge's assessment, they will serve their sentence in a family home or in a special prison for mother prisoners".
Article 146 of the penal code provides for the deferment of the sentence for pregnant women, for mothers with a child under one year of age, for those suffering from AIDS or other serious illnesses.

Serracchiani:
another proof of the inhumanity of the right.
"Every day this right demonstrates incredible inhumanity. The victims of ideological blindness this time are the boys and girls of imprisoned mothers. With our bill we were about to achieve the result of preventing these children from being forced to live behind bars This objective has been distorted by the forcing of the right. We will never share a similar choice and for this reason we have withdrawn our proposal under discussion in the Justice Commission. The right assumes responsibility for these unacceptable choices".
Thus Debora Serracchiani, Pd group leader in the Chamber.
"At this point the fury of the majority against children is a certainty", reiterated Serracchiani in a press conference held together with Chiara Gribaudo,
"
Psychologists have explained to us that the first three years of life are fundamental in the growth of a child
- he told journalists - for this reason we had presented a bill for which inmate mothers of small children would serve their sentences in protected institutions.
Lega and Fdi, on the other hand, presented and approved amendments that even worsen the current legislation, also sending pregnant women or women about to give birth to prison.
The number of children in prison would even increase". "It is something shameful - he continued - this right from Law and Order has passed to Inhumanity and incivility". "There is an inhumanity of some political leaders who do not understand that children must be at the center of our attention". "What leaves me speechless - he said again - is this ideological fury of the right of punishment tout court: against convicted women,
against the children of same-parent couples.
Propaganda is about everything, just the video of a pregnant pickpocket making propaganda about that too". However, according to Serracchiani "a common front for civilization is possible.
For example, Fi had presented amendments to our ameliorative law, and insisted on defending them.
They had to summon them to Palazzo Chigi to force them to withdraw."
Malpezzi: inhuman choice against women and minors from
the right by the cardinal principles on which a rule of law is based".
Thus on Twitter the president of the senators of the Democratic Party, Simona Malpezzi.
D'Orso (M5s): blitz Fdi undermines majority and opposition relationship
I intervened in the President's office to stigmatize the method of a majority and a government that take advantage of a proposed law with an opposition share to distort its purpose and make it yet another banner of pure propaganda.
A dangerous precedent that undermines the relationship of loyalty between the majority and the opposition that we cannot accept". Thus in a note Valentina D'Orso group leader of the 5 Star Movement in the Justice Commission of the Chamber.
Richetti: today
an inhuman act from the right and therefore it had not become law. What the right has done today is an act of grave injustice and inhumanity. One fills one's mouth with the priority of minors' rights, then situations such as those of children who have to enter a prison to be with their mother. Once again the majority shows the gap between the words they use and the actions they perform".
Thus Matteo Richetti, group leader of Action-Italia Viva in the Chamber.
"Children are born in the manger to keep to the Gospel, but certainly they are not born in prison: they are born in hospital".
This was stated by Giorgio Mulè, vice president of the Chamber and deputy of Forza Italia, to "Tagadà" on La7, answering a question on what you think of the League's proposal to provide prison for women who commit crimes during pregnancy or who have underage children at one year.
The 'blue' parliamentarian explains that: "Children cannot be born and grow up in prison, there can be and already are alternative solutions to prison, I am thinking of family homes, that is, places controlled by the Penitentiary Police which do not have bars but still guarantee safety for the community.Children must not begin to know the world by looking at it from behind the grates,
but it is objective that the problem exists and that the solution must be found.
But safety and children's rights can go hand in hand."

Matone (Lega): ideological extremistism from Pd
"The only persistence we register is the ideological extremistism of the Pd which withdraws the signatures to the bill on imprisoned mothers. Roma pickpockets often use pregnancies and children as a way to avoid prison and continue the own criminal activity. The League's rule passed in the Justice Commission went in the direction of protecting the health of future mothers and unborn children, however interrupting illicit activities by not releasing those who commit crimes. Therefore, the commitment to resubmit the text is good: common sense is needed , not the propaganda of Serracchiani and party comrades".
This was stated by the deputy of the League and member of the Justice commission, Simonetta Matone.
Foti (Fdi): shameful left exploits children
"The words with which the Democratic Party is exploiting children are simply shameful. It is not enough to continue to attack the Government on the Cutro tragedy, after the data show that the percentage of rescues with the Meloni Executive is much higher than the previous ones Now the exploitation of the youngest has shifted to the affair of women prisoners and their children.The only changes made by the Brothers of Italy to the text of the law on children in prison concern repeat offenders who exploit motherhood to evade the prison regime. We do not accept moral lessons from those who have had ten years to resolve such a delicate issue and are now only capable of taking it out on a parliamentary majority that has only been in office for a few months".
