Adnkronos Rome, March 25 (Adnkronos) – "The father's surname given to children is not an outdated legacy of patriarchy, but rather the first way to prevent men from limiting themselves to their reproductive function, leaving the task of maintaining and raising their children entirely to women. The various proposals on children's surnames cannot forget the crucial importance of making men responsible – publicly and from birth – in their duty to truly be fathers".
Stefano Lepri, national director of the Democratic Party, declared this.
