March 18 () –
The new leader of the Italian Democratic Party, Elly Schlein, has taken advantage of her presence at a mobilization of homoparental families in Milan to promise the future processing of a law in Parliament to regulate these situations.
“This is a civilizing battle that concerns the future of Italy and Europe,” Schlein stressed after promising the future processing of a law “prepared and drafted together with associations, rainbow families and the Lenford network.” “We will be by your side as in the square, also in Parliament”, he stressed.
Some 10,000 people, according to the organizers, have participated in the demonstration for the recognition of the rights of the children of same-sex couples, held in the Scala square under the slogan “Hands off our sons and daughters.”
The demonstration is a response to the suspension imposed on the Milan City Council against the registration of newborns as children of two fathers or two mothers.
