Casini: In Europe, there's even a paedophile apology.

ENNA "Europe isn't necessarily always to be imitated. For example, some Northern European countries have legalized movements that even advocated for pedophilia." Pier Ferdinando Casini, leader of the UDC, reiterates that "marriage is between a man and a woman," declares "no sexual discrimination against those who live with people of the same sex," and opens up "about granting rights to de facto couples," but it's his argument about the European situation, with a risky comparison to say the least, that has associations and politicians jumping up and down. The response was harsh: "It's incitement to sexual discrimination," said Monica Cerutti, head of Rights for Sel. Arcigay expressed "outrage" at the "extremely serious" words that "call into question the validity of gay marriage laws being approved throughout Europe, drawing specious parallels with pedophilia, and using argumentative tricks often used in the past by the Catholic hierarchy, which we thought had disappeared after the scandals that overwhelmed it precisely on the pedophilia front." Meanwhile, Paola Concia, of the Democratic Party, called Casini a "religious fundamentalist.".
