Of Matthew Castagna in the online Venetian newspaper www.vvox.it
Con 21 votes in favor and 6 against it has passed motion 434/2018, which declares Verona “city ​​of Life” and plans to support associations and initiatives anti-abortionists. Come on, the Democratic Party was demolished because it was the group leader Carla Padovani, already known for years for its "pro life" positions, he voted with the centre-right majority. Nevertheless, if you go and read the motion, nothing particularly strange can be found there, because the mayor Federico Sboarina and its council undertake to do what is already foreseen by the law 194 from '78, which no municipal council has the power to modify or repeal.
The former mayor also sits among the opposition Flavio Tosi, his former senator partner Patricia Bisinella and a couple of other loyalists. Despite declaring himself centre-right, they joined the Democratic Party (something that is not new to Tosi, who he had a long but catastrophic liaison with Matteo Renzi) in the fierce dispute against the councilor Alberto Zelger (League) on his sentences about homosexuals.
Minority councilor Tosi, among other things, he told Sboarina that «he administers by accepting the most requests obscurantist, medieval and reactionary of its political majority which represents only a small slice of the Veronese".
Curious, since he was the first Scaliger politician to actively support i traditionalist Catholics since the 1990s, participating more, In the 2005, to one Via Crucis of reparation at Gay Pride at the Verona Arsenal, wearing the t-shirtWe Romeo and Juliet, you Sodom and Gomorrah” given to him by Christian Padania, which at the time brought together a large part of the Scala traditionalists. The poster is also eloquent, had the League do it for the occasion, alongside which Tosi was immortalized by the press (see photo). Si sa che every five years a flavor changes, but since it is an ethical issue, a public man should make peace with the consistency. At least out of respect for the voters, who risk disorientation in the face of so much transformism.
Another episode worth mentioning as an indication of an incandescent climate occurred yesterday. On the Facebook page of "Link Sapienza“, university collective always on the front line for absolute tolerance, there is a post titled like this: “pro-lifers out of the university“, aimed at young Catholics "Universities for Life". It is argued that it is "inadmissible to carry out propaganda in the University on a topic such as abortion", and concludes with a lapidary "for this reason we reached out and immediately removed the promoters of this shameful initiative". Who knows if the rector Nicola Sartor will deem it appropriate to intervene this time too to protect the freedom of expression, expressing words of condemnation towards those who prevent it, apparently even reaching physical action, as he did in May on the occasion of the conference on LGBT migrants.
