The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala intervenes on the issue of the stop to the transcription of children of same-parent couples imposed on the Municipality.” This in my opinion is an evident step backwards from a political and social point of view, and I put myself in the shoes of those parents who in Milan they thought they could count on this possibility”. “Registration does not only depend on political will, it is an act which logically has to do with the administrative apparatus of the Municipality and I, given also the position taken by the Prosecutor, cannot expose a municipal official to personal risks of judicial nature,” he clarified.
“From today, even more than before – he adds – I take charge of carrying on this battle politically and of following with the utmost attention every regulatory and judicial development of this complex affair”. “Ready to seize every concrete opportunity to continue the path of recognition of everyone’s rights and so that Milan will always be the protagonist”, he added. “It should be the legislator who allows by law, as happens in other countries including in Europe, for example in Spain and Denmark, the registration of the child of a same-sex couple regardless of the more onerous and currently very troubled adoption procedure in cases details”.
The circular from the Prefect of Milan on the stop to transcripts
The Municipality of Milan has stopped transcribing the foreign birth certificates of children born to same-parent couples in Italy. The suspension of the registrations comes after a circular from the Prefect of Milan which, according to what has been learned, in turn consulted the Ministry of the Interior. The prefecture, to request the interruption of the transcripts, referred to law 40 of 2004, the law on medically assisted procreation, which is permitted only to couples formed by people of different sexes. A law that also prohibits surrogacy. Faced with this circular, Mayor Sala could do nothing but suspend the registrations. The mayor of Milan himself today immediately met the ‘rainbow’ families and their representatives and explained this difficulty to them.
