"The Court of Appeal of Rome denies" a 2019 decree of the Ministry of the Interior, led at the time by Matteo Salvini "and condemns it to apply the wording 'parents' or other wording that corresponds to the gender of the parent on the documents "electronic identities issued to minors".
This is what the Famiglie Arcobaleno association announced in a note, adding that the Capitoline judges of second instance have "reaffirmed a very simple concept:
on the identity card of a child, no personal data other than that which appears in the civil status registers"
.
The story began in 2019, when a decree signed by Salvini imposed the words mother/father on the documents instead of 'parents'.
"A couple of mothers turned - explains the association - first to the TAR of Lazio and then to the Court of Rome demanding the issuance of an identity document that reflects the real composition of their family.
Already at first instance the Court had accepted the mothers' request, declaring the decree effectively illegitimate as the document issued "integrates the material details of the crime of ideological falsehood committed by the public official in a public act".
