Lazio comes after Lombardy. If the region led by Francesco Rocca removes the patronage of the Roman Pride, the region of Lombardy will leave the region of Milan. No one will attend the demonstration for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community on the streets of the Lombard capital on June 24 with the Lombardy Region band. In fact, this afternoon, the district council at Palazzo Pirelli rejected the motion submitted by Luca Paladini, a councilor of the centre-left ‘Patto Civico’ list and founder of Sentinelli, by a vote of 43 to 23 in favour. asked governor Attilio Fontana for a commitment to “nominate the president of the district council or a member of parliament or a district councilor to wear the corporate band and participate in the ‘Milan Pride March 2023′”.
a difficult discussion
A similar motion was passed by secret ballot last year. This year, however, the centre-right majority has held together, also rejecting the corporate band’s presence in the parade after it refused to sponsor the show, as agreed by the District Office last May. The debate in the Council was fierce, with heated tones, mutual accusations and constant interruptions.
The resolution’s first signatory, Luca Paladini, appealed to the majority and called for an effort to be made “beyond prejudices and stereotypes, recognizing the social value in Pride referred to in Article 3 of the constitution”. Dry response Fratelli d’Italia’s group leader, Christian Garavaglia, rejected “reaction or prejudice”, accusing the Pride parade participants of “not respecting those who don’t think like them”, because they “see old images of the madonna”. Topless representation doesn’t seem very respectful to believers”. And the centre-right once again recalled the so-called “womb for rent” that the show would indirectly promote. The attacks were dismissed by the centre-left, along with the group. “Speaking of morality,” said M5S leader Nicola Di Marco. To those on the centre-right, the sounds of the funeral reminded many of the game played in the Lazio Region and signaled that perhaps something is really changing in the country.
The face of the Lazio Region under the auspices of Roman Pride
The Lazio scenario is surreal, in which the District first decides to sponsor the Capitoline Pride and then backs out, stating that the image of the District “can never be used to support demonstrations aimed at promoting alleged illegal behavior”. rented womb”. Once again a reference is made to the scarecrow of the Italian right: the so-called pregnancy for others. But what exactly happened?
The president of the Mario Mieli club in Rome (and Pride spokesperson = Mario Colamarino) commended the District’s choice to sponsor the event, saying: “We appreciate the District’s decision to break free from the trap of ideological bias by effectively maintaining political distance. Some of those in Parliament these days seeks to make the birth of our daughters and sons a universal crime by pursuing pregnancy for others, even if it takes place abroad.”
It is a stance that triggers the reaction of the anti-abortion association Pro Vita & Famiglia, which calls it ‘centre-right schizophrenia’. And this, like a domino, had led to the reversal of the Rocca-led junta, and he now asks Colamarino to explain: “Colamarino apologizes for the exploitation and manipulation, and we will restore protection immediately.” But there is no mediation space for the surrogate mother”.
The contemptible exchange of accusations that continues even at this hour, the sad observation of how a universal right that should not bear political color has become a ground for political confrontation for the thousandth time.
