«What happened this morning at the General States of Birth is unspeakable – says Ester Mieli, FdI head of equal opportunities and policies once morest all discrimination -. Eugenia Roccella was forced to leave the stage due to protests from a group of people. Precisely those who profess democracy have become protagonists, once once more, of an attitude of censorship towards those who do not think like them. I express solidarity with Minister Roccella, encouraging her to continue her work in favor of families, birth rates and women.” Mariastella Gelmini, senator and spokesperson for Action, talks regarding «unacceptable acts of intolerance» on X. «Everyone has the right to express their opinion, it is always wrong to give way to attacks, hatred and violence. All my solidarity with Minister Roccella”, she adds.

Licia Ronzulli notes that “there is no more illiberal way to demand freedom by preventing protests, shouting and whistling, forcing a minister to abandon an event.” «And the unfortunately frequent method of sabotaging other people’s demonstrations is even more serious and unacceptable. I would like to express all my solidarity to Minister Roccella”, concludes Vice President FI of the Senate. «It is serious that Minister Roccella had to give up taking part in the General States of Birth, my full solidarity goes to her», also observes Maria Elena Boschi. The representative of Italia Viva adds that “the expression of dissent is legitimate, but we cannot forget that freedom and democracy are expressed first and foremost by allowing people to speak, not with censorship”. “Contesting a speaker by preventing her from carrying out her speech is a form of violence that is unacceptable for a democratic country,” says the NM deputy group leader in the Chamber, Pino Bicchielli. Finally, here is also the speech of the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa: «My solidarity with the Minister for the Family, Natality and Equal Opportunities, Eugenia Roccella, forced this morning to leave the States General of Natality underway in Rome to due to the protest of middle school and university students. The right to express one’s opinion is one of the pillars of our Republic and can never be questioned by a group of troublemakers who claim the right to establish who can speak and who cannot.” No word, as always, from Elly Schlein’s Democratic Party.
