With 151 votes in favour, none against, and 98 abstentions, the Senate approves the motion Segre on the establishment of an extraordinary Commission for the contrast to the phenomena of intolerance, racism, anti-semitism and incitement to hatred and violence. For the president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities, Naomi Signs , “the choice of abstaining from certain political parties is incomprebsibile and irresponsible. A more or less explicitly, to justify, or remain indifferent, in front of a hatred which, unfortunately, is moving forward and that must relate to each of us, regardless of any membership candidate”.
The Pd attacks the centre-right. “That’s a shame – the thunder of the secretary of the Nicola Zingaretti – this is right more and more traction Salvini who yields to the piazza San Giovanni, full of hatred, resentment and violence, and rejects the commission. And then tell us that there is no difference between the right and the left.”
“in The Senate – declares the deputy dem Emanuele Fiano – was the scene for the shame, unacceptable, abstention of all the centre-right, on the proposal of Liliana Segre for the establishment of a commission on hate speech on the web, the behaviour of the centre-right will remain an indelible stain of our history and parliamentary system. These issues are not acceptable pelosi and the war and political manoeuvres of the low mintage. The abstention of all the centre-right is an insult to the Country and to his conscience, and Memory”.
“it Is the sign of the drift of a right that is delivered to the extremism and defends it,” notes the missed dose Franco Mirabelli , vice president of the senators of the Pd
While FdI explains the reason of his abstention, since it sees the Commission as an attempt of “political censorship”, Mara Carfagna , vice president of the Senate, it distances itself from the abstention of the centre-right. “My Forza Italia – tweet – my home, would never be abstained in a vote on anti-semitism. We are betraying our values, and changing the skin. I mean this when I say that in the alliance of the centre-right let’s go to the trailer without claiming our identity”.
my @forza_italia, my house, and he would never be abstained in a vote on anti-semitism. We are betraying our values, and changing the skin. I mean this when I say that in the alliance of the centre-right let’s go to the trailer without claiming our identity.

Strongly supported by the senator for life Liliana Segre that had, from the beginning of the legislature, pointed to the re-emergence of episodes of anti-semitism and racial hatred, and the spreading in the social media platforms of the so-called hate speech (violent language towards minorities), the commission got the nod from the hall of Palazzo Madama.
