Decision is linked to row over government plans to criminalise people who seek surrogacy abroad
The rightwing governor of Italy’s Lazio region has come under fire after withdrawing the administration’s support for Rome’s pride parade, saying its name could not be associated with events “aimed at promoting illegal conduct”.
Francesco Rocca, the Lazio president backed by Brothers of Italy, a party with neofascist origins led by the prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, said that while the region was committed to civil rights, it could not be linked “with events aimed at promoting illegal conduct, with specific reference to surrogacy”.
ProVita embraced Rocca’s U-turn, saying it would continue to monitor his administration to ensure it did not become “a vehicle for gender and LGBT ideology”.
