ROME. “Seriously, don’t you feel embarrassed to think so? But do you know which party you belong to? Do you remember the Charter of Values? I do, and on human rights Forza Italia has always left free will, freedom of conscience on the vote “. This is how Francesca Pascale, former partner of Silvio Berlusconi, blurted out on social media when she read the criticisms of the Zan bill of the blue senator Lucio Malan.
The post on Instagram of a user, Nicola Tengattini, who said he was «’proud of the fact that many members of Fi lined up in favor of “the measure against homotransphobia renamed” Zan Law “, from the surname of the rapporteur Alessandro Zan, deputy of the Democratic Party. Hence the bipartisan appeal so that «’all political forces unite to approve this law, because being against violence is not’ being right-wing ‘or’ being left-wing ‘, but being people of common sense». «Let’s say strongly that the Zan bill does not take away rights from anyone, if anything it gives them to those who don’t have any!», Tengattini’s assurance.
Malan’s reply was ready, from the very first moment he was very much against the bill: «But do you know what’s inside the bill? Up to 4 years in prison for anyone who even belongs to an organization – for example a church – that opposes the accreditation of LGBT associations in schools, which is foreseen in the «anti-discrimination strategy approved by article 8!».
Malan’s words make Pascale, who has always been an LGBT champion, go into a rage: «This Northern League drift distorts the only credible leader on the political scene. Berlusconi has done many things in his life and almost all of extraordinary success, repudiating hatred and condemning all forms of racial discrimination “” Are you sure you are part of the right party? “Asks Pascale, according to whom” such positions ” they made the party lose 30% of votes. The senator from Fi countered: «In reality, in parallel with the decline in the votes in Fi, there was an increase in those of the Lega and Fdi. Then it would be strange for the voters to leave us because we are too conservative to then vote for those who are even more conservative than us … ».
