Having lost the political battle on civil unions, Ncd fielding ministers and two days before turning out the unblemished Enrico Costa against togas for “creative judgments” on adoptions for sex couples and then the autonomous initiative of Beatrice Lorenzin the baby bonus to support the birth rate and finance couples with children. Fibrillation within the government on the new pressure of Ncd for the deployment of measures in favor of the traditional family, with the doubling of the baby bonus, is all in an indefinite article that the Prime Minister’s office sources used to nip the scope of the proposal He launched by Health Minister Beatrice Lorenzin, in an interview with Republic. The indefinite article is “a” and is the litmus test of the humors which have driven on Sunday morning in the headquarters of the government: the hypothesis is “only one of the proposals in the field.” Assumptions that underline the same sources, at the time remains the same as the others.
Not enough this reflection to scale back expectations of the party led by Angelino Alfano, from Chigi palace which also transpires however, is the priority and that is “a comprehensive look on welfare instruments.” The irritation is obvious and not-so-hidden and acts as a mirror to the wonder that characterized the reactions of several members of the executive dem side – as he was able to ascertain the Huffington Post – when morning came together, packaged and ready, and audience figures on amount of measure intended to families who have children of which they had never heard of. The Lorenzin Minister evokes an apocalyptic scenario to sustain the essential need to bring the monthly fee of the baby bonus from 80 euro to 160 euro and 320 euro depending on the ISEE threshold, expecting the second child on maintaining the current system, ie, respectively 240 and 400 euro. The risk, he explained, is that of the “demographic crash” and the only way to deal with “the true Italian emergency” is precisely to strengthen the bonus for newborns.
The crash comes even within the government, where the temperature is high. The theme of the baby bonus, among other things, comes four days after approval of the law on civil unions, the result of a delicate and complex work of mediation that Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, did lead to her in Parliament up to keep Catholics and not of Ncd. But now the Alfano party wants to go to the collection for that promise kept and defined as such by many exponents of the New center-right at the final go-ahead from the House to the law Cirinnà.
The political design of Ncd is clear and has a strong electoral connotation, a few weeks from the appointment of election administration: the move of the government’s center of gravity towards protection and greater support for the traditional family, noting the difference that exists with respect to civil unions. No coincidence that yesterday the Minister for Regional Affairs with responsibility for family affairs, Enrico Costa, who was also in Ncd share, thundered against the judiciary in matters of stepchild adoption is too “creative”. Statements elicited a piqued response from the Democratic Party, led by Senator Monica Cirinnà, which replied to the minister saying that the problem is not there. It is no coincidence that Costa was now one of the first, along with the party spokesman, Valentina Castaldini, underlining the need to support the proposal from the Lorenzin colleague. Not only that the minister raised the ‘Pact with the families’ because, he explained, “Every euro that we put in your pocket or leave to families, within a framework of clear and organic measures, returns to the state in terms of new births, thrust, fuel consumption, growth and development of the country “.
The measure of the strong message that Ncd wants to launch the Democratic Party Renzi and is also evident in the way in which the proposal of the minister Lorenzin saw the light: a work that has been developed by its technical while the Ministry of the Treasury, according to reports, he does not know anything, or at least not in such detail. A proposal but it must deal with the added costs for doubling the baby bonus, estimated at about 2.2 billion for six years. These numbers do not scare because the same Costa said that “the deck is short, but the family is the priority and resources must be found.”
If the one on the baby bonus has just begun, there is a ‘another battle on the horizon that is bound to rekindle the conflict within the government between the Democratic Party and Ncd, and it is that on adoptions. Delicate matter, and for which Renzi has chosen the faithful Maria Elena Boschi, to which the delegation for international adoptions have been entrusted. This theme it will begin to discuss Judiciary Committee, the House, already during the next week, but also on this point Ncd has long put forward: no openness to gay adoptions. There will be time. On the day of the Lord the center-right New dusts off his forte, the traditional family, to open a breach in the fortress of that part of the Government and the Democratic Party still has the taste in the mouth of the success of the law on civil unions.
