The Eurochamber has approved the amendment to the text of the Resolution on the rule of law which "condemns the instructions given by the Italian government to the municipality of Milan to suspend the registration of the adoptions of same-parent couples". (HANDLE)


The Eurochamber has approved the amendment to the text of the Resolution on the rule of law which "condemns the instructions given by the Italian government to the municipality of Milan to suspend the registration of the adoptions of same-parent couples".

The amendment was presented by the Renew Europe group and supported by the Left, Greens and Socialists. 

The EPP is divided on the condemnation of Italy by the Eurochamber.

In the vote, passed by show of hands and with such a solid majority as to not require electronic counting, sources within the Popular group confirm that the Forza Italia delegation voted compactly in defense of the government, but the delegations of the Nordic countries and the Portuguese , however, have made it known that they want to take sides in defense of rainbow families.

Their contribution was decisive for the approval of the amendment, which already had the support of the S&d, Greens and Renew.

The popular German delegation, one of the most numerous in the Eurochamber, would instead have given its followers freedom to vote.

The amendment presented by the Renew Europe group and approved by acclamation by the Eurochamber "invites the Italian government to

immediately revoke the decision" on the stop to registrations of adoptions of homoparental couples

.

The text underlines how "this decision will inevitably lead to discrimination not only against same-sex couples, but also and above all against their children".

MEPs also add that "this action constitutes a direct violation of the rights of minors, as listed in the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child", and express concern that this decision is part of a wider attack against the Lgbtqi+ community in Italy.
