Family Day and Pro Vita & Famiglia to hold sit-in in Verona

The associations Family Day and Pro Vita & Famiglia will hold a sit-in in Verona on Saturday, October 31, at 10:30 a.m. in Piazza Bra. The demonstration seeks to ask the government to challenge the Veneto law on medically assisted suicide.

Massimo Gandolfini, leader of Family Day, said the group is protesting because the regional health system does not guarantee sufficient palliative care and hospice beds. He noted that the deadline to challenge the law is November 9. Gandolfini stated that the group remains determined to defend life despite being denied a stage for the event.
