If approved the bill must be examined for a final review by the Chamber of Deputies. <\/p>\n<p>Senator Silvana Amati, a member of the Democratic Party and the first person to propose the bill since 2012, told Pagine Ebraiche that there was a \u201cstrong urgency\u201d for the law to be approved, \u201cwithout any further loss of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to enact this new law as soon as possible. Also because it is a bit paradoxical that, in a period so full of new extremism, of new and dangerous ideologies, Italy must not fail to adopt a law that will counteract deniers of the holocaust,\u201d Amati stressed. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, the Senate is engaged in the examination of a proposed bill which will introduce, if approved, a stronger punishment for anyone guilty of hate propaganda and\/or denial of the Holocaust. It is a measure of fundamental importance, which will give the legislature a new legal instrument that would be at least five years behind other European nations,\u201d said Renzo Gattegna, the President of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities. <\/p>\n<p>He also said: &#8220;This challenge is also cultural and, I am sure, will be perceived in all its importance by the Senate, which will vote next Tuesday, and later by the Chamber for the final approval.&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Adam Smulevich The Italian Senate is about to discuss a new text of a law which increases the punishment for those responsible of promoting incitement or committing acts of racial discrimination based in part or entirely on the denial of the Holocaust.
