Italy's Senate will not vote on legislation introducing the concept of consent into sexual violence law before February 2026, derailing a bill that had received unanimous approval in the Chamber of Deputies just one week ago.
Giulia Bongiorno, president of the Senate Justice Commission, told Corriere della Sera newspaper on Wednesday that the bill would be ready in committee by January, but the Senate vote has been postponed after the League requested new hearings and a re-examination of the text.
