“There is no comparison to be made. There are laws and a precise sentence. The mayors know what they can and cannot do. Are they disobedient? “No, it’s something they decide knowing there’s a sentence they don’t apply. There is nothing to negotiate.’ This was stated by the Minister of the Family Eugenia Roccella after the letter from some mayors on the children of gay couples. “The mayors are not protesting against the Piantedosi circular – she adds – but against the sentence of the Cassation. So they should have a dialogue with the president of the joint sections if anything. There is a very precise sentence that says certain things».

The minister replied to journalists on the protest of the mayors who transcribe the birth certificates of children born to same-parent families, on the sidelines of a meeting on the Trentino model of the family certification of the Municipalities. And when asked what you think, on a human level, of the request by the `disobedient’ mayors to meet Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni there for a discussion on the issue, Rocella replies: «On a human level? Mayors meet every day. I have no powers in the matter.”
