'Lower your banners' Orlando to Alfano

(see previous).
    (ANSA) - Rome, March 1 - Justice Minister Andrea Orlando on Tuesday urged Interior Minister Angelino Alfano to "lower your banners" in a campaign against surrogate motherhood and stepchild adoption for gay couples. He said that Alfano's proposed sanctions against surrogate motherhood were "reasonable" but that Italy needed a law on adoptions, "that puts us on the side of the child". Alfano's New Centre Right (NCD), the junior government partner of Orlando's Democratic Party (PD), is already fighting against a proposed new PD bill, which has yet to be tabled, on adoptions for couples in civil unions, including same-sex ones.
