Who wants to do zan-zan to the Zan bill

Who wants to do zan-zan to the Zan bill

What happens to the Zan bill? The Scratches of Damato

Perhaps they exaggerated the Foglio with that front page title on the "Carnival in the Senate", out of season of course, for the "masked ball" into which the arrival in the courtroom of the bill against homotransphobia of the deputy Pd Alessandro Zan, rushed to the street in shirt sleeves to solicit approval. Even if, in fact, "screams, whistles and rattles", as Il Foglio always reports , have submerged what should have been only the procedural preamble of the discussion, which ended with the preliminary ruling of unconstitutionality rejected by 12 votes, the climate was more like a stadium than a parliamentary hall. And the President of the Senate in person Maria Elisabetta Casellati Alberti warned and denounced him first – habitually screwed up by Fatto Quotidiano as "Queen Elisabeth" – warning the audience that "the world championships, or rather the Europeans, we have already won" in the right stadium .

The most sensational extravagance, in the hall of Palazzo Madama, seemed to me that – unprecedented, that I remember – of the former president Pietro Grasso, now a simple senator, let's say, of the left of the "free and equal", who intimated the president in office to "not allow" the postponement of the provision in committee. Where the leaguers had proposed to postpone him in order to make a quick attempt at a very broad agreement on some changes in order to then protect him from the risk of rejection in the classroom by secret ballot. The class obviously becomes water when political passion takes the language, as well as the hand. Usually a former president does not address his successor in this way, especially if it is a man and a woman respectively, while respecting – for charity – gender equality. Which, of course, should not be confused in political language with "gender identity" which has become one of the most controversial points in the text of the law being examined by the Senate against homotransphobia.

Among the players of this match that arrived in the wrong stadium is the senator and leader of Italia Viva Matteo Renzi. Which, despite having its deputies participated in the vote on the measure in Montecitorio, shares the need for some adjustments in the other branch of Parliament, which has survived its famous and unfortunate 2016 constitutional reform, because it is aware that, as it is, it risks a bad end. And this also considering the hopes for changes – not even rejection – expressed by the Vatican to, among other things, protect Catholic schools from the teaching and propaganda of the so-called gender culture. According to which the kind you feel or want practically counts more than the biological one.

Now, without wanting to enter into the merits of the suspicions, to say the least, matured in the offices of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office, I find, always to say the least, curious the coincidence between this new game also of Renzi , and not only of the other Matteo, who is Salvini, and the judicial investigation communicated in the press for illicit financing and false invoicing against the former Prime Minister and, respectively, of Presta father and son, Lucio and Niccolò. Who would have been busy, let's say, with a television documentary by Renzi on Florence. These magistrates are diabolically unfortunate who always arrive at the wrong time in the right place according to them, but which often turns out to be wrong too, perhaps already in the investigation phase, without even an indictment.
