00:00I don't think it's the job of the regions to make laws of this kind,
00:04because otherwise they would be different from each other for each region.
00:07The Constitutional Court has invited the Parliament to make the law.
00:11In Genoa they say that they are stirring, which means that they are doing it in a hurry,
00:16because this way at least we will solve the problem.
00:18As you know, when I was mayor, but also president of the region,
00:22we have to do things that are aligned, absolutely legal, for the laws.
00:28I can't do things that go against the law.
00:30Someone tried it in the past, but then in the end it comes to the Constitutional Court
00:34or anyone else and says that it doesn't seem right.
00:37I'll give you an example.
00:38When I was mayor, they asked me to register a child with two parents of the same sex,
00:45which in Italy is forbidden.
00:48Personally I would have also done it, but the mayor can't do something that goes against the law.
00:52Recourse, counter-recourse, etc.
00:54In the end we were right, because you don't do illegal things, period.
00:57We represent legality and you can't expect the elected citizens to do something illegal.
01:04So the law must be made at the national level,
01:07and we will be 100% consistent with what the law says.
