The Lazio Region revokes the patronage of Roma Pride 2023

The Lazio Region revokes its sponsorship of the "Roma Pride 2023" event. Even if the Giunta del Lazio "reaffirms its commitment to civil rights - underlines the institution -, as demonstrated, moreover, by the multi-year work of President Francesco Rocca", the institutional signature of the Lazio Region "cannot, nor will it ever , be used in support of demonstrations aimed at promoting illegal behavior, with specific reference to the practice of the so-called surrogate uterus".

The motivations of the Region

The decision to revoke the patronage for the Roma Pride scheduled for next Saturday "became necessary and inevitable following the statements, tones and intentions contained in the manifesto of the event entitled 'Queeresistence', which can be consulted publicly on the event's website. These statements violate the conditions explicitly required for the granting of sponsorship previously granted in good faith by the Lazio Region". And also "in the light of what was declared by Mario Colamarino, president of the Mario Mieli Club and spokesperson for Roma Pride".

D'Elia (Pd), serious revocation of patronage in the Lazio region

«The revocation of the patronage of Pride in Rome by the Lazio Region is a serious act, a step backwards in terms of the commitment of rights, the fight against discrimination. It is useless to shake the specter of the GPA, Pride has always been the moment in which the lgbtq+ community shows itself with all the pride of its battles for full citizenship, starting with the dutiful recognition of the rights of girls and boys of rainbow families " . This was stated in a note by Cecilia D'Elia, Pd senator.

Magi: Lazio region demonstrates that with Fdi homophobia is state

"The rented uterus has nothing to do with it, the alleged illegal behavior referred to by the Council has nothing to do with it: the revocation of the patronage of Roma Pride by the Lazio Region demonstrates once again that with Fratelli d'Italia at government homophobia is institutionalized, it is a state homophobia. And it is shocking how President Rocca poses as the watchdog of the pro-lifers who had just today asked for the withdrawal of their sponsorship. Rocca doesn't care about all the citizens of Lazio who instead believe in LGBTI+ rights". Thus the secretary of Più Europa Riccardo Magi.

Rome Pride: Lazio Region fearless, we will not remove the logo

"After granting the sponsorship to Roma Pride, the new Governor of the Lazio Region Francesco Rocca pays the electoral debt to Pro Vita and withdraws the sponsorship granted with specious reasons given that the Lazio Region knew the claims and political contents of the demonstration". So in a note the Circle of Homosexual Culture Mario Mieli. «We are now at the farce 'Pro Vita orders and politics executes' - says Mario Colamarino, spokesman for Roma Pride -. With the irony that distinguishes us, we thank Provita for offering us a free press office service. Thanks to them we are certain that on Saturday 10 June at the great parade which will start from Piazza della Repubblica at 15.00 there will be a huge crowd who believe in rights, equality and secularism". And again: «As regards the Governor Francesco Rocca, we reassure him that since the Lazio Region belongs to citizens, therefore also ours and not a handful of Catholic Taliban, we will not remove the Lazio Region logo from our site.
