civil unions, voting without understanding the Democratic Party – BBC



Milan , February 15, 2016 – 23:17

the n Senate today at 16.30, we vote the law on civil unions. But no word yet on which voting will begin. Great is the disorder under heaven yesterday afternoon of the Democratic Party and even the Minister Maria Elena Boschi has managed to bring peace between the democratic souls of the Senate. In the Senate the minister came to meet with the leader Luigi Zanda and Senator Andrea Marcucci, author of the amendment premissivo dubbed “super kangaroo,” one that will cut off the majority of the amendments that weigh on Cirinnà law.

Three and a half hour meeting

Three and a half hour meeting with Catholics too senators of the party and, in the end, a single decision: let Zanda decide. That coming did not hesitate to say: “The super kangaroo will vote.” How, though, he has not been able to explain it himself. Because in the end it’s all the muddle, in this “super kangaroo” opposed by all opponents of the law, but also opposed by some Catholic senators of the Democratic Party, because Kangaroo Marcucci, would see their amendments eliminated the stepchild adoption, the possibility to adopt the partner’s biological child. Hence the demands of Democrats. Who in order to save their amendment, which transforms the adoption foster strengthened, they asked to “unpack” the kangaroo, or to rewrite it completely. And in the end they also threatened to vote against the amendment of the kangaroo. “A threat unacceptable,” says Francesco Verducci, one of 16 senators of the “Young Turks” of the Democratic Party who yesterday signed a document where it is recalled that in January the assembly of very clear arrangements have been made party unanimously – including these – to vote compact procedural amendments. It is not known on which voting will begin, so if the “super kangaroo” full or if the vote to “unpack”. And even on this from the opposition benches it is raised strong protests. That of Gaetano Quagliariello (Idea), among the first, which contesting as “the crucial session for the bill Cirinnà there would be three hypotheses in the field that all revolve around the navel of the Democratic Party” has appealed to the senators of M5s: “Fight with us.”

the proposal of the League

Coil leader of the League, Stefano hundred, which once again announced that the Northern League is ready to withdraw 4,500 of its 5,000 amendments so as to “remove any excuse to the Democratic Party.” From the benches of the coalition partners – but opponents in this law-in the last hours has risen a strong demand to drop by law the stepchild adoption (Article 5). They asked the two ministers Angelino Alfano and Beatrice Lorenzin, ensuring that with this excerpt would vote the entire law. Yesterday it had added to this the voice of a life senator and former prime minister Mario Monti: “I agree, and I will vote the law on civil unions with the exception of some new features, like the stepchild adoption.” There are many concerns about the stepchild adoption and therefore are left standing still many brokerage amendments, one important one is signed by the Democratic senator, Giuseppe Lumia – which has worked so hard the Ministry of Justice Andrea Orlando – with a decisive role in the decision of the juvenile judge adoption .
