“There is still an Italy capable of loving and welcoming” – Corriere.it

The singer in support of the homotransphobia bill stopped in the Senate. Emma: “It will remain a bad page in our history”

At the opening of the first live of X Factor 2021 we talk about the ddl Zan that yesterday the Senate was ditched. Emma and Mika strongly support the Zan bill, expressing their regret for the stop to the law against homotransphobia on live TV during the program, just as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in Rome and Milan. Immediately after the spectacular opening that saw the four judges enter the scene on the notes of some of the most famous songs in the history of music, Emma took the floor: «I am sorry not to be able to celebrate this evening a step forward that we have been waiting for and that concerns all of us because it concerns the rights of so many people. The images we saw yesterday in the Senate, when the path of the Zan bill was finally blocked, were embarrassing and will remain a bad page in our history ». Referring to the shouts and the cheering from the stadium that rose from the benches of the center right, he then added: “By saying this I think I can also speak on behalf of my colleagues at the table, in a program that has always been committed and fought against every form of discrimination “.

After Emma, Mika spoke on the matter and also published his opinion on Twitter. «What we saw yesterday is not the Italy that I love – explained Mika – and above all it is not the Italy that has welcomed and defended me in recent years. But I think there is Italy out there that is capable of loving and welcoming. And it is that Italy that I choose and I want to continue to believe ».
