ROME, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Italy’s Democratic Party did not take part in a parliamentary committee vote on Wednesday on a highly contested bill against antisemitism, highlighting divisions on the left over a law seen as potentially curbing criticism of Israel.
A PD source said the party considered the definition of antisemitism included in the bill was “divisive” and urged the right-wing ruling coalition backing it to change its formulation, but this call is likely to fall on deaf ears.
