The Chamber of Deputies unanimously says yes to the bill establishing the bicameral parliamentary commission of inquiryinto the cases of Emanuela Orlandi and Mirella Gregori, the two girls, Vatican citizens, who disappeared in Rome in 1983. There were 245 yes votes. The text now goes to the Senate.
Already from the first session of discussion emerged the widespread desire to undertake this path, with the hope of clarifying what happened in those days almost 40 years ago. The bill consists of six articles.
Applause in the Chamber of Deputies addressed to the families of Emanuela Orlandi and Mirella Gregori who followed the explanations of vote from the gallery of the Chamber. "Today they are present in the Chamber and perhaps the time has come for this Parliament to apologize for the much, too long to get here" and to express a "big hug for the unanswered pain they have had" and "a strong thank you for the trust they stubbornly continue to place in the institutions" and that more than "we have the duty ever to repay", said the leader of the M5S Francesco Silvestri, to the applause of parliamentarians. Emanuela's brother, Pietro Orlandi, had already attended the work in the classroom in the discussion of the bill last Monday.
