The opposition protested demanding a deeper analysis of the bill that regulates women’s “consent” in cases of sexual violence. The request filed by the League, which was joined by Fratelli di Italia and Forza Italia, also requested a hearing. The opposition left the Senate Judiciary Committee in protest. They have requested that today’s vote in the DPR be carried out on time International day against violence against women. A request also supported by Senate President Ignazio La Russa. The bill on sexual violence is the result of a historic bipartisan agreement with input from the prime minister Giorgia Meloni and leader of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein.
“What happened in the Senate is unacceptable” in the words of the Democratic Judiciary Chairman Debora Serracchiani speaking at the Assembly of Deputies during the discussion of the Bill on Determining the Crime of Femicide. “The political agreement envisages that today the law on the crime of femicide will be approved here and free approval in the Senate”, added Serracchiani who continued: “We were even told that hearings were necessary and there was no date to postpone this provision”. “We believe that this behavior is behavior that does not take into account political agreements that are made in the interests of women, in the interests of women who suffer, and that both of these actions have and have the possibility of receiving a response and a clear regulatory framework.”
“We are faced with a shameful and shameful silence – adds dem Michela De Biase –. I don’t want to dramatize but what happened is that the majority of this Parliament lied to Prime Minister Meloni”. Other matches from IV to M5S and Avs are also important.
