“The bill is totally Cirinnà returned: not enough make-up operations.” The final message of the Family Day is clear and the many thousands of people yesterday afternoon flocked to the Circus Maximus applaud the leader, Massimo Gandolfini. The demonstration against the bill on the recognition of civil unions and the adjacent rule on “stepchild adoption” – the real issue disputed by the Church – led to the streets a more varied world of Catholic identity and activist – including Neocatechumens renewal – but also several politicians, almost exclusively of center. A banner on all dominated, “Renzi we will remember,” concept repeated by several speakers that have taken place on the stage, often with very bright tones. Next week the bill enters the vote, and the political situation will increase the pressure to the maximum. “When so many people take to the streets to express their views with civilization is a sign that democracy is alive. It happened today as happened last week, “said Lorenzo Guerini, deputy secretary of the Democratic Party, who adds:” The aim of government is to listen to all, to deal with everyone and then take responsibility for the decision. On civil unions there and there will be a broad and thorough debate and then the Parliament will vote. ” Clear words that reaffirm as “the Democratic Party is determined to widen the field of rights, as has already been working and will continue to promote policies to support the family, continuing the path undertaken with the reduction of taxes to the Italian families (80 €, cancellation fee on the first house), with the baby bonus, with measures to combat poverty. We are looking for a broad consensus, but we are equally convinced that it is time to decide and we will do it. ” Next to Family Day “We defend our children” has sided Interior Minister Algelino Alfano, who at the Interior Ministry received Gandolfini, along with the new minister Enrico Costa: “full adherence to the aims of the event,” he posted on Twitter. “The hypocritical poltronaro Alfano people’s Family Day:” I am with you. ” Meanwhile, the

government supports the gay adoptions, “wrote in a tweet the federal secretary of the Northern League, Matteo Salvini. Gandolfini speaks of “two million people” at the Circus Maximus, however, that according to the law of numbers it can contain up to 300 thousand since it covers 73 thousand square meters, and in the areas restrostanti, then around the Palace of the FAO and in ‘ area of ​​the Baths of Caracalla there were no protesters. But the area was full and many families with children, but also priests and an archbishop (officially there was the sponsorship of the episcopate, unlike 2007). “Open your eyes – said Gandolfini – and look among politicians who are those who are helping us and those who obscure. When will exercise the right to vote – reaffirmed Gandolfini from the stage surrounded by banner that read in large letters “No scrap the family” – will look at the person well who we are voting even at regional or local, whether it is a person that has our common hear or not, “he stressed Gandolfini remembering the story of the mayors who backed and those who rejected the transcripts of civil unions of same-sex. “An extraordinary place”, the Democratic Party has to listen, said Giuseppe Fioroni, the only prominent member of this party majority. A few comments from the episcopate (Cardinal Angelo Scola spoke of “square open to discussion”) and the Osservatore Romano described the event as “broad participation and cross-expression of all the souls of Italian society.”
