Matteo Salvini puts a stone on top of the demagogy of the left That, exploiting the kids who foiled the attack on the school bus, try to bring the debate on the issue back to parliament right alone.
“We don't even talk about it”, cuts the Minister of the Interior short by sending the pressure of the notables back to the sender, in crisis of votes, they try to regroup the center-left around the battle to reform the regulations that regulate the Italian citizenship to the children of immigrants.
From Graziano Del Rio to Nicola Zingaretti, passing through Walter Veltroni to Matteo Orfini, i big dem are riding Ramy story, the 13-year-old Egyptian who alerted the police with a phone call, thus foiling the crazy plan of the Senegalese Ousseynou Sy, to put the battle on ius soli back at the center of the political debate. A battle that, when Paolo Gentiloni sat at Palazzo Chigi, il Democratic Party he had defected due to a lack of votes in parliament and for fear of losing support in the country.
“We know very well that with the numbers of this legislature it will be almost impossible to bring it home – admits Orfini in a post on Facebook – we missed the real opportunity in the previous one”. Nevertheless, at the PD headquarters, no one wants to face reality. And so they run to send letters to Republic to encourage the center-left people to roll up their sleeves. “We don't need hatred sometimes generated by resentment and discrimination – writes Zingaretti – but of an Italy that gives opportunities to everyone”. And Veltroni behind him to echo him: “The Democratic Party must know how to express its values ​​in this time of history – he pontificates in an interview on Republic – fundamental values ​​are being questioned today, social, civil and human”.
The debate, but, it is only internal to the left. In parliament, Indeed, no one wants to revisit a reform opposed by the majority of Italians. “Italy is already the country that grants the most citizenships every year, we don't need a new law”, Salvini cut it short. Who then warned the left do-gooder: “Citizenship is a serious matter and comes at the end of an integration process, It's not a ticket to Luna Park”. Right, in individual exceptional cases, just like Ramy's, the government can grant it even ahead of time. “Ma – the Northern League vice prime minister made it clear – the law will not change”.
Even outside the majority there are many who think like Salvini. And Forza Italia a dry one arrived “no” to the ius soli. “If we managed to block the absurd proposal of ius soli in a Parliament in which the left was stronger – commented Maurizio Gasparri – imagine what would happen to such an outburst in the current Parliament today”. For the blue senator it is “it is shameful to exploit news events to fuel a pro-immigration campaign. Failed directors re-emerge, like Veltroni who should rather talk to us about the flop of his film, not the ius soli”. “Instead, let's worry about expelling six hundred thousand foreigners who continue to remain illegally in Italy”, he concluded.
