A quick examination to allow final approval of the text. The agreement between the majority and the opposition in the Senate Justice Committee to approve the government’s bill that reinforces the “Red Code” remains. The groups withdrew the changes to the text, on which there is transversal consensus, and which should reach the Chamber tomorrow. The case of Giulia Ceccchettin also drew attention to the issue of prevention and education, where distinctions emerge. The Minister of Education, Giuseppe Valditara, announced a plan for relational education for high schools after school hours. For the opposition it is not enough. And there is controversy over consultant Alessandro Amadori, responsible for the guidelines, for his positions on female aggression in a recent book. The opposition calls for his resignation and asked Valditara for information in Parliament.
“Anyone who approaches this topic cannot bring with them the shadows of bizarre and dangerous theories”, argues the Five Star Movement. The reference is to the book written ‘The War of the Sexes’. Short essay on the evil of gender’. “It is surprising – protests the Democratic Party – how in such an urgent and dramatic issue a personality was chosen who several times in different interventions supported the thesis of women’s responsibility as the cause of violence”. But Amadori takes refuge: “I smile because I didn’t expect all this commotion. It’s a 2020 book and if someone reads it they come to conclusions exactly opposite to the sentences that were extrapolated.” No intention to resign? “I have no personal reasons to resign – responds to LaPresse -. I am Minister Valditara’s communications advisor, why should I resign? For writing a book about archaic male architecture or for stating the banality that female aggression also exists? After that – he adds – I’m a soldier, if whoever gives me the tasks considers me useful, well, if I’m not useful I go back to doing something else”. For the minister, however, the case does not exist: “There is no consultancy entrusted to anyone. It is a project that I present and that I sign. No more controversies that are not at all sordid.” Tomorrow Valditara will present his plan: “A project that is the result of broad listening. The many associations sent us many suggestions, many proposals for modifications, the Order of Psychologists also made important corrections”, he explains. “
