Spending review, the case broke Cottarelli: for Renzi on with or … – Tiscali

Adnkronos

(AdnKronos) – The case Cottarelli holds court in the economic policy debate, which consists of several strands: the criteria for public expenditure reform, the relationship between the Commissioner spending review and the chairman of the board, Matteo Renzi, and the measures of the government. So the comments of the Commissioner, made yesterday in his blog, that seemed aimed in particular at recent changes parliamentarians, have turned in the announcement of his possible resignation. Renzi makes it clear that the operation of public expenditure reform will go ahead with or without Cottarelli: “It is not that if there is doing the spending review and if there is, you do not.” “The spending review there, whoever’s as commissioner, this or another.” So” Cottarelli will do what he believes.” For its part, the commissioner spending review did not want to talk to reporters hypothesis to leave his post. This morning, on entering the MEF, have told reporters: “I have nothing to say.” Same music, but in different words, that the Ministry of Economy, Pier Carlo Padoan, who during a press conference to journalists’ questions on the subject said: “I do not think this is the place to meet.” ” I do not have anything to do with this topic, has nothing to do with this event,” he added. MEF does not come from any comment, we merely observe that today the commissioner was at work in his office and that the sentences yesterday to Cottarelli on the reform of Pa did not represent in any way an attack it ‘the government will’ ministry Economy. While the Secretary to the Prime Minister, Graziano Delrio, assures us that “there is no case Cottarelli.” The Prime Minister, speaking at the direction of the Democratic Party pointed out that” the central point is that the spending review we will. Because with the 16 billion that are in the spending review we are at 2.3%, not 3%. “For Renzi,” the numbers are not a problem, the real question we face is not headedness about a comma because there ‘is the great question of the priority of the policy, or that takes space and does his job or none of us has a role. “the prime minister added:” If we can be consistent with this mandate of 40% is consistent. But if we delegate the task of governing engineers discussing a chair or two we lost the bet and also the electorate. “Within the same Democratic Party are growing doubts about the figure of Commissioner:” Cottarelli should be replaced as soon as possible. The figure of the Commissioner be identified without hesitation,” said the chairman of the Supervisory Board on tax, Giorgio Portas. ” And that’s because the spending review should be implemented, given that we need to improve the efficiency of our public machine. “” The situation is very worrying” according to the secretary of the CISL, Raffaele Bonanni. Serves that the government” is devote more determined to economic problems. All the chickens are coming home to roost,” according to the union. And the confirmation, according to Bonanni, comes” rightly” also by the Commissioner. For grillini” ventilated resignation of the Commissioner Cottarelli do shed the mask to the Government Renzi. Cottarelli confirms what the 5 Star Movement has always thought Renzi uses the anticipated savings to cover the spending review measures that anything to do with the reduction of taxes on citizens and businesses. “For the president of the Brothers of Italy-National Alliance Giorgia Meloni, “Cottarelli confirms the alarm Brothers of Italy-National Alliance: the government spends money it does not have.”

The spending cuts in the drawer, – Corriere della Sera

The spending cuts in the drawer, – Corriere della Sera

Milan , July 31, 2014 – 7:07

     
     
 

Nothing personal: at least we are certain of this, when Carlo Cottarelli does not backtrack renouncing About matured in recent times. And that would have already anticipated the Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. That is, to leave his post after the summer. October is the scheduled date.



What Renzi he had with the commissioner spending review the same tune of Enrico Letta, who had appointed him, it was not a mystery. Moreover, in spite of rumors same arrival former mayor of Florence at Palazzo Chigi, which indicated Cottarelli as a candidate to take the reins of the Economic Department of the Presidency of the Council, he spent the months since the new government unquestionably have not been the easiest. And certainly not the responsibility of the Minister of Economy Pier Carlo Padoan, with whom the Commissioner has shared a long militancy in international bodies, to represent our country.

The obstacles he faced were way down politicians. Probably not entirely unexpected. But not in the proportions and shapes waiting to be in front when he returned from Washington after 25 years at the International Monetary Fund to deal with the famously Italian. Meanwhile, a completely different approach by Renzi than Letta, in relation to the chapter “spending cuts” and the tasks Cottarelli. One approach that has had the effect of resizing objectively the role of the commissioner: downgraded from a kind of independent authority responsible for not only identify waste and inefficiencies inside the public administration but also to propose cuts in expenditure items bulkier, a simple external consultant. As, of course, authoritative, but nonetheless a foreign body in the control room. Condition became more and more palpable as the time passed. And evidently less and less bearable.

Then some facts that speak for themselves . Yesterday this newspaper Francesco Giavazzi is appropriately asked where it got the job Cottarelli. Adding to that the commissioner spending review should make it known boldly where, how and how much you should cut, putting the government in front of the responsibility for not doing so. We know, because he has written before about the “Courier” Riccardo Puglisi, one of the participants in the working group coordinated by Massimo Bordignon Cottarelli who had asked for a report on the costs of the policy, which are prepared from March 25 reports on as many segments of the public expenditure prepared by teams of experts. All files, imagine searing, that the commissioner had already wanted to post but instead remain in the drawers. And the reason is simple: Cottarelli has not yet had permission from the government to make them known. Why after so many months has not got the go-ahead of the Palazzo Chigi one can only speculate. Perhaps the conclusions contained in those reports are not entirely shared? Maybe. That would fit well, but it is unlikely that the Commissioner, and the government itself, had not calculated.


Certainly the non-publication of the 25 dossier made it even more obvious , if there was a need, the difficulty with which Cottarelli faces. To begin with perhaps the most important. It’s fine to intervene on eight thousand public companies: it is a giant black hole as evidenced by the existence of companies with more than 2,761 employees directors. But how do you identify cuts of € 17 billion, at least as much public spending should be reduced in 2015, if you can not even touch the two chapters bigger? Health is actually output from the spending review with the covenant of Health: an agreement between the Government and the Regions. While pensions for the express wish of the executive, there are never any revenue. The agency ‘Adn Kronos’ yesterday said that Cottarelli “continues to work, as always, in close contact with its natural partners.” And that “may soon rely on his blog, it being the last speech of July 7, a post to return to highlight the need for selective cuts and non-linear, with reference to the case of retirement at 96, barely addressed in the decree Pa “. Just pensions, looks a bit ‘… A few hours later, the surgery was announced on the blog by the news that has been provoked political reactions. Perhaps his last testimony (even this allowed?) From Commissioner, even before the official announcement of divorce. With the result that the next cut in public spending result of the work of Cottarelli will be his salary.

ROME THE CLASH between Pd and Sel on the reform of the Senate is likely to be an avalanche on alliances in local authorities and the sentence handed down yesterday morning by Nichi Vendola ( “It’s a break that will bring consequences”) is a true reflection of the climate that reigns between the two (former?) allies. Threat, warning or only bogey agitated in art, in short, things could get complicated in the territory.
Words of the Secretary Luca Lots are immediately bounced in Emilia-Romagna and Calabria, near the regional vote, rather than in seven other regions will be held next spring anyway, and for which alliances you will begin to weave already after? summer. But to assess the extent of the phenomenon just look at the map of the local administrations.

‘IN 90% of the municipalities the last administration in May? explains Stefano Bonaccini, head of the local Democratic Party? we were together in coalition, as well as in all three of the last regions to vote, all torn to the center: in February Sardinia, Piedmont and Abruzzo in May. In November we will vote in Emilia Romagna and Calabria, Puglia is the next year with six other regions. ” There will be time, perhaps, to reassemble the fracture of these days because some strongholds retaken or confirmed by the center, with a selection that has left behind in the primaries candidates? Strong? Democrats, such as Milan, Cagliari and Genoa are led by members of Sel as Giuliano Pisapia, Massimo Zedda and Marco Doria.
But the situation is in stark fibrillation, the risk jumps all c?’s and each scenario is possible. Nichi Vendola holds the point, ensures that “the split that the Democratic Party has practiced unilaterally take the consequences” and echoed: “We want to know exactly where the Democratic Party has chosen a strategic alliance and long-term with the right, because of course this would change everything. We trarremmo the subiremmo but also the consequences. “
Dario Stephen, Sel Senator and candidate-elect for president of the Puglia region, throws water on? provocations? reiterating to be in the running “in the primaries in Puglia with? objective of holding the center and continue to do to win.”

ITEMS clashes also come from Calabria, while it is not safe nor tightness majority of the Pd / Select Nicola Zingaretti in Lazio. But it is one of the regions? Red?, L? Emilia-Romagna, which defines Sel ‘s not obvious? Alliance with the Democratic Party’ s a few days ago? Regional Assembly voted to party? Unanimity a document in which he expressed doubts about the primary and heavy spear for the regional? idea of ​​a rassemblement inspired by the electoral list Tsipras.

Palazzo Madama arguing on the ‘kangaroo’. The practice that allows you to jump in one fell swoop all the amendments similar to another that is rejected from the classroom has sparked the ire of the opposition groups that challenge the drastic application of this method on a matter as important as constitutional. In particular, it criticized the president Pietro Grasso the ease with which the procedure provided for in Regulation of the Senate, has been adopted and that the first day of application, on Tuesday, made it possible to overcome the block in 1400 amendments to the face of only 5 votes . For this reason, the resumption of the session this morning, minorities have arisen (but not only them, among the most critical interventions may also be noted that the Democratic senator, Max Mucchetti) and have obtained the suspension of work for the junta to allow the regulation to meet to clarify and give an interpretation of the “authentic” the norm. It had to be a stop for an hour, just to clarify the details. Instead, the issue is debated so that the work does not resume before 15, according to the latest communication.

The Senate debate between the protagonists screams and chants

 

I doubt the single vote

In particular M5S is challenged by the fact that the “kangaroo” applied without mediation will be deleted cascade all the amendments related to a text rejected, without which it will be put to the vote at least three (the two tend to be more distant and content as an intermediate) in order to give a more complete representation of the orientation of the groups on a specific topic.

A Another senator
Un Another senator “distracted” (Lapresse)

A long day

The controversy over vote ‘jumps’ comes the day after a particularly tense day, which began with an attempt at mediation went to empty by the spokesman of the minority Democratic Party and continued with a session river full of difficult moments and misunderstandings. The president Pietro Grasso had been challenged, for example, not only for the decision to apply the procedure of skimming but also for not having monitored the methods of carrying out the television coverage of Senate TV: the parliamentary M5S League and have reported being obscured during their speeches in favor of a still image of the scene outside and the president at that time is not required. At the same time in the classroom, as told by our photogallery, senators tried by fatigue were indulging in naps, moments of listening to music and lots of video games …

Renzi:” We’ll make it ‘

“At this time the senators who support the reform and who are undergoing the filibuster A small proportion of their colleagues are demonstrating the most extraordinary sense of institutions that can be asked – is meanwhile the comment Matteo Renzi assigned to an e-news -. Approve the reform at first reading, despite the screams and insults of those hours. ” And again: “The reforms are not the whim of an authoritarian prime minister. But the only way to get out of Italy by the preservation of the swamp, the first being the economic stagnation that is likely to be conceptual. ”

The prime minister heads down: forward even up to October, is the game of the … – Corriere della Sera

Milan , 30 July 2014 – 7:06

     
     
 

ROME -” If they think they blackmail me, they are wrong, “states Matthew Renzi after the position taken by Sel “If they really wanted to treat would behave in a high way. Instead do not want to mediate, because Lorenzo Guerini, which is described by the newspapers as the great mediator, I was never offered even a cup of coffee in the refreshment of Deputies’: Nicola Fratoianni so that after fogging Nichi Vendola, is the real boss of Sel


What is the truth? Maybe it’s bipedal and is on both sides. The movement of the governor of Puglia thought it was easy to make “a draw” with the President of the Council. But now you have to think again because the prime minister, apparently, does not want to make arrangements to the downside. Rather, it goes straight. Sel or Sel “Seven senators may not impose a large majority of the line,” is his mantra. And there will not move.


Everyone, Palazzo Madama, they wonder why Premier is so adamant. His opponents in the majority give this explanation: “Why, despite not having as its first objective, you want to leave open the way for early elections in the spring.” He niche topic, and says, “We gave our ok to Chiti, those of Sel have changed their minds and the country will be against them.”


Renzi leaves no openings for mediation improvised. So much so that warns the representatives of the movement of Vendola: “If you break the relationship, the Democratic Party will go to the regional without Sel, and also the primary candidates for the upcoming elections will be without Sel.”

So whoever says that maybe could meet Vendola Renzi replied: “We have come to meet, ready to move in a week’s vote and those guys have responded saying that they would keep all the amendments. What do we mean? Now, finally, it is clear who is against the reforms. ” And again: “I can not give up. If they think that I’m afraid of them have the wrong person. It will take me a week longer, but I will get reform. ”


And in the evening, with his collaborators, at the end of an exhausting marathon (so much so that at one point the majority has decided to entrust the management of the classroom to fast Calderoni and non-fat), Renzi is breathing a sigh of relief and says: “While today are skipped 1400 amendments and the secret ballot holds: in half a day we are already more than 20 percent of the vote despite the filibuster. We bring home the reform. ”


But it seems that this does not suffice to Prime Minister, that is still furious with Sel: “We understand that many of the amendments were only a provocation.” But it is not a provocation notice to mariners of Sel Luke Lots sends it to the “conservative”, “No more alliances with brakeman.” Ergo: juntas will not fall, but for the regional alliances will be discussed again next spring. More, they are also at stake the primary coalition. No coincidence that the chairman of the board for permission to proceed, Dario Stephen, as soon as it crosses the Senate Lots harpoons: aspires to make the presidential candidate of the Apulia region, and now that will happen to him?


Three out of seven senators Sel would be ready to leave the cabin and puppets. But this is not what he wants Renzi. The prime minister wants to surrender: “The Italians are seeing people who want change and who’s not, who runs and who restrains.” And then glosses thus: “We have made substantial openings in the minority and they answered spades with a ton of amendments. At this point we need to do? We only have a road ahead of us: to go forward, calm and determined as ever. ” Go ahead, yes, but in the pit. Yet Renzi argues that everything goes “better than I thought.” And who, at the end of the evening, he asks why so much enthusiasm and so much determination, it responds with a half smile and a whole truth: “I’m playing the game of life. I’m doing a reform, while others are only destroying the Parliament under the eyes of the Italians. And at this point, since I’m not interested in those who play hard to win, but I’m interested in the method, I can not do anything but go forward. Until September … and October, provided that reform is. ”

At the end of a hectic day that saw the failure of mediation proposal Vannino Chiti to stop the filibuster, but also support the pact between the majority and Forza Italy: the hall of the Senate rejected the first secret ballot an amendment of Sel Article 1 of the bill, which proposed the constitutional protection of linguistic minorities and, in an open vote, one that reduced the number of parliamentarians.

Renzi attacks: “The dramatized today show that some senators lose time for fear of losing the seat.” This is echoed by the Minister Woods: “The Italians do not deserve the scenes that had to be seen today. Italians have asked us to change and we will do it. “

Day of chaos in the classroom
The day was dedicated to the clash clash. Before the conference of leaders who failed – despite the support of the Democratic Party, Ncd, Sc, Ga, LAN and government – a proposal for mediation launched by “dissident” dem Vannino Chiti (focus the examination on a few dozen amendments on issues strong, complete by August 8 and postpone the vote on the amendments to statements in September and the final grade), then the new confrontation between the majority and the opposition of Sel and M5S that does not stop the filibuster. Result: the examination of the bill will go to the bitter end with sessions from 9 to 24, and the final vote will take place by August 8.

Amendments “key” to vote
At first secret vote went in the afternoon the first paragraph of the amendment 1:32, tagged, Sel, who asked to insert, to ‘ Article 56 of the constitution, after the words’ the Chamber of Deputies is elected by direct universal suffrage, “the phrase” in respect of gender balance and ensuring the representation of linguistic minorities. ” I have not been 162, so the 124, 8 abstentions. With another vote, this time clearly, was rejected also the part of the law that called for reducing the number of deputies and senators. It is then taken to the rule of “kangaroo” precluded 1,400 similar amendments.
He was the Secretary for Reform, Luciano Pizzetti, to remember that “the amendment voted on the election of senators De Petris, you can reopen the book and start to think. ” Among the pitfalls of the day, even the secret ballot on reducing the number of MPs, proposed by an amendment of the League Candiani, which should be voted on soon.

Q & Lots-Vendola local electoral alliances
Undersecretary Luca Lots Sel stuck on the front of the local electoral alliances: “They can not say that we use words inadmissible and then together govern all regions .. . Eh, no. We do not have the mica nose ring. ” Lots said he had already spoken to Dario Stefano, Senator Sel, who will run the primary center for the candidacy for president of the Puglia region. Piccata the reaction of the leader of Sel, Nichi Vendola, who wrote on Twitter: “Sel # 7 senators who do not yield to blackmail problem are Italian? And the new Founding Fathers and Berlusconi are Verdini? # Lottistaisereno. ”

The President of the Senate puts forward a mediation proposal – in accordance with reported by Loredana De Petris (Sel) – during the group leaders set aside the thorniest nodes (composition, election and powers of the Senate) and start the examination of the constitutional bill in Article 3, the senators appointed by the president. The aim is to give time for the mediation on Articles 1 and 2 of the text. However, the government says no to the proposed start voting on constitutional bill in Article 3: “The logic is sequential, first, Articles 1 and 2.” So Secretary Luciano Pizzetti to reporters that the challenge in the Senate. “I want to categorically deny that the critical are the government and the majority – said Pizzetti – because in committee and by the letter of the Prime Minister, the government has given ample signs” opening on reforms. “Yesterday we went to sleep with an agreement made” for the purpose of obstructionism, he says, “and we still do.”

Chaos in the Senate on the bill to reform the Constitution. Reduce the amendments, vote by August and first week of September to send the final vote were the contents of a mediation proposal advanced this morning to start the debate from the Democratic Party Senator, Vannino Chiti. An opening in the Senate debate on the new front in the name of ‘Frondeur’, launching a mediation on the timing of the reforms. But there is Sel (‘the stone guest is the covenant of the Nazarene’) and dispute broke out with the Democratic Party . ‘There are conditions to mediate – says at that point Zanda – Who submitted 6 thousand amendments have not said to want to reduce. So we continue to work on schedule ‘. The Ok to Chiti had arrived from Fi and Ncd. No by the League and the M5s. At the end of the debate, the President of the Senate Grasso has called “the team leaders immediately” to make a decision “on the continuation of the work” in the Hall. Work suspended until the end of the meeting.

Woods: Chiti ok but no to blackmail filibuster. “The government, as always, is helpful in finding additional meeting points” to change the constitutional bill but “can not be subjected to blackmail obstructionist, so I had seen as favorable to the proposal of Chiti” mediation. The minister says Maria Elena Woods in the Senate. “I think it is only right for government intervention to restore the reality – says Reforms Minister Maria Elena Woods, in taking the floor in the Senate – I think the attitude of the government in three and a half months in committee and the test proven willingness to find meeting points. Never has there been opposition of the government with the speakers and with the large majority which led to a text adopted in committee. Nowadays it is not to discuss the yes and no government but yes and not by a large majority that voted in committee that text, which at this point is no longer the basic text of the government. ” “Probably – adds Woods – not all of it will be possible to find a meeting point between the majority and the opposition, as is the case on all measures and in the democratic game. But it is unthinkable that a minority to state his case to the detriment of the majority.”

Cricket: we will go by the Parliament. “What are we are doing in Parliament? us to take the piss, to support a simulacrum of democracy while these make a shot State?’ll stay as long as you can “to prevent the coup” with the elimination of the Senate elective. ” If “will not let us choose, we’ll go.” This was written by Beppe Grillo’s Blog. “Better get out and talk to the people in the streets of Rome and Italy, agora do better every day among the people who hold the candle to the traitors of democracy and of the Fatherland. Them leave you alone to stir their laws and emerge among the citizens. Fresh air, “added the leader of the M5S Blog.

Vote,” it said on the website of the comedian in a note entitled “Parliament Square”.

SPEAKERS – “If the conference of leaders is orientasse positive suggestions for advanced speakers we ask you to have a space to cultivate the depth of the issues that have divided the positions.” He says the rapporteur of the bill constitutional Anna Finocchiaro in the Senate. “If you really manage to regain the ability to work physiologically we also affirm the principle that any changes to the text of the Committee ripen here in the House,” he adds. The rapporteur Roberto Calderoni adds: “In the commission that I could not give my contribution because the numbers” of the majority were armored “and whatever could be changed only at the meeting. Plenary Now I’m not saying there should be constituent but a spirit of willingness on the part of all and especially the government.’m tired of weaving the cloth during the day and at night to see it unravel. “

THE DEBATE IN THE HALL ON REFORMS DDL – Proposal mediation of the senators ‘dissidents’ of the majority illustrated by Vannino Chiti in the Chamber of the Senate. “I present a proposal shared with colleagues who hold the majority,” he explains: reduce the amendments and “focus the discussion on the reform around major themes. Vote by August dozens of key amendments. Then the first week of September the statements and the final vote “. “We focus the comparison around major themes, which support the reform project: the method of election of senators, the number of deputies, immunity, the election of the President of the Republic and the guarantee institutions, the powers of the Senate some subjects, the referendum and the popular initiative laws, division of powers between State and Regions. “

Chiti replicates the leader of the Democratic Party in the Senate, Luigi Zanda :” I welcome than an indication of Chiti voting because “the articles of the bill on reforms” terminate on August 8. then if the final vote were to go to the earliest days of September would not call it a trauma., but “because it can be used” l ‘ agreement of all “groups of the Senate.

Ok Forza Italy but precise: the covenant of the Nazarene must not be scratched. ” I also say to the senators of my group “of withdraw the amendments obstructionist. “But not all the changes you asked Chiti will be accepted by the government, because there is the agreement of the Nazarene, which is the reference point that we should not or can scratch.” So Donato Bruno (FI) in saying yes to the mediation of its time.

Sacconi (Ncd): ok proposal Chiti, serves a broad consensus – “This proposal makes sense if it finds a wide consensus. ” The Ncd Maurizio Sacconi said the leader in the Senate, in welcoming the proposal to Vannino Chiti to reduce the number of amendments, the comparison only concentrate on some issues, and then postpone the final vote of the constitutional bill in September.

The Group To Italy welcomes the proposal for mediation. The group Popular for Italy “can not but welcome the proposal” mediation Vannino Chiti. He said the leader Lucio Romano in the Senate.

The League, with the team leader Gian Marco Hundred, says no to the proposed mediation of Chiti and asks guarantees: Renzi “sit down at the table to think” on the proposals of the League, is the request.

comes the voice of Cricket: open Renzi? The toys are already hard , says leaving the Hotel Forum in Rome speaking with reporters. Boccia Chiti the leader of the Movement 5 Stars Vito Petrocelli: “Our 200 amendments do not move from here: we also work at night, you can not close on August 8, and postpone the vote until September.” “It scares the path that Zanda wants to impose. • Go to group leaders, we will defend the schedule. Reform will deal with our 200 amendments.”

Sel: available but without covenant limits the Nazarene. “extremely wide availability if you really want to enter into the merits and discuss changes, but it is interesting for us to grant one more week”, as proposed by Chiti, but understand from the government, “if you really want high mediations” . So Loredana De Petris (Sel), who points out: “The Stone Guest is the covenant of the Nazarene.”

Quagliariello: Renzi scheme exceeds pact Nazarene – “Senator De Petris right when he says that free debate in Parliament can not be bound by agreements outsiders “such as the Covenant of the Nazarene” but I like all the members of the majority Yesterday I received a letter “from the premier Matteo Renzi” which reads the unequivocal willingness to overcome the schematic exterior. should seize this opportunity the opposition. ” He says the senator and coordinator Ncd Quagliariello in the Senate.

At the end of the debate Senator Mario Mauro (PI) has proposed a stop of at least one couple of hours of the work of the House to give the opportunity for groups to make a reflection and then convene a leaders to decide whether to accept the proposal of mediation with the withdrawal of the amendments and obstructive a new work schedule in the Senate. But Zanda (Pd) replied: “It seems to me that the debate Chiti conditions for a solution that seemed to me very successful, there are “. “Who has presented 6000 amendments did not say to want to reduce,” he says with reference to Sel, and then “we continue to work on schedule.”

League and Sel demanding the convocation the conference of leaders to discuss how to proceed on reforms. After Luigi Zanda (Pd) noted that the group leaders are useless because there are no conditions for mediation, Loredana De Petris (Sel) said: “I think it is rather useful to have a chance to figure out if there is the ‘intention to really do a job on the merits that will lead to good results. ” Gian Marco Hundred (League) has requested that the Minister Woods expresses a position in the classroom

Reactions:

Democratic Party: “Although September is good”

” I agree”. Replicates the Democratic Party leader in the Senate, Luigi Zanda. ” I welcome the signs of respect Senator Chiti because voting terminate in any event within 8 August.

There is no ‘right to claim victory by Renzi.” It is the position of the Northern League in the words of Gian Marco Hundred who added:” It made me fear a passage of the intervention of Senator Bruno Forza Italian who said that the pact of the Nazarene does not scratch. We put everything on the table and then you go ahead. We want to see everything at this point, with transparency.”

Provided, warns in the Senate Loredana De Petris, there is “a real debate, serious, high and free, not affected by the agreement of the Nazarene,” which, he says, “is the guest of stone.” And ironically the Parliamentary Sel: “if we were still in the hearing of the Committee I would ask Berlusconi to clarify once and for all.”

So, to reopen the comparison Sel okay, “but I need to clarify ‘the covenant of the Nazarene is the constraint or substantially all of you can discuss the merits? In essence, “the covenant have to do it all in the classroom, freely, there is a free comparison on the merits of the issues. The point – concludes De Petris – is not to have a week more or less, but that there will be a mediation high. ”

ROME “There are those who want to block everything. And there are those who want to change, starting with himself. From your resilience depends very much on the future of Italy. ” On the eve of a week (yet another) crucial in terms of the constitutional reforms in the Senate Matteo Renzi takes a pen and paper and wrote an open letter to the senators of the majority. “We are building a business,” wrote the Prime Minister noted the importance of “a state more efficient and easier” to restore dignity to politics in the eyes of citizens and authority to Italy in the eyes of European partners. But the news comes in the middle letter, when Renzi opens up the possibility to change the Italicum in the Senate, the electoral result of the covenant of the Nazarene already passed in the House: “We have agreed on the basic points: clearly the winner’s prize of majority proportionate , the principle of alternation. The debate in the Senate will allow to address the nodes are still open: preferences, thresholds, like that. ” Translated: the minimum threshold, now at 4.5% for the coalition parties and 8% for non-coalesced, they can be standardized to 4% for all. How are clamoring for the smaller parties, starting with the New center-right government and the opposition vendoliana Sel. And a solution on preferences – become a flag grillina – must be found despite the known opposition of Silvio Berlusconi, for example, explain the Democratic Party in the house, ensuring the election of the list headers and leaving preferences for others. Arcore clear that this is not played well at all, so that the meeting already scheduled for this morning between Renzi and Berlusconi immediately jumped because of “ailment” that take away from Rome for the former Knight ‘ whole week (see article on this page).
The fact is that in the face of opposition filibuster, with about 8 thousand amendments referred to only 6 thousand well-sel, the “swamp” in the Senate on reform of Title V of the Senate and is no longer a risk but already a humiliating reality. Hence the move Renzi: to provide the changes all’Italicum to get the go-ahead for reforms in the Senate within a reasonable time. The issue of thresholds is obviously a matter of survival for Sel, which is unlikely to be able to pass a higher threshold of 4%. With this basic premise – that is, the willingness to review the Italicum – both Renzi is responsible for the reforms Mary Helen Woods have taken a few days the thread of dialogue with the senators of the Democratic Party dissidents who gather around Vannino Chiti. Just Chiti is turning into “bridge builder” of the political agreement with vendoliani Sel that could break the deadlock in the Senate today: more time to discuss the points of the tie-breaking reform – election procedures and powers of the Senate, immunity, election the President of the Republic, the referendum – in exchange for the withdrawal of the proposed amendments for the purpose obstructionist. Which means, calendar in hand, get to August 8, having examined and voted on the amendments to the articles of the reform and crucial letting slip a final vote on Sept. 2.

Beppe Grillo

” This is a war, we have already said, and we will do the democratic guerrillas. ” Word of Beppe Grillo, leaving his hotel in Rome to reach the Chamber of Deputies with a view to meeting with the parliamentary M5S, responded well to the reporters who asked him what were the next steps of the movement on the front of reforms. “We definitely arrange something,” he promised Grillo.
On the day of the joint meeting of the parliamentary groups of the M5S convened just to make a point about reforms and strategy to keep in the Senate, where the bill is being considered by the Assembly, the leader of 5stars had anticipated, via blogs, all his doubts regarding the reforms under discussion. “Renzi requires a reform of the Senate against democracy, fermiamolo. Caste – wrote Grillo – it protects the rights of citizens are being trampled. Want to impose senators elected from politics. Senators selected by regional councils and mayors so that will have to play a double debunking both roles. 75% of Italians asked to vote for senators. Renzi and Berlusconi want them to be elected by the caste. ” In short, “Renzi imposes M5s proposes,” is the slogan pentastellato. And, specifically, Grillo puts in his post comparing the government’s position with that of the M5S: unelected Senate against Senate elected; Rooms with 730 MPs, according to the view of the majority, compared to the 473 MPs, according to the setting of 5 Stars, who would take away their immunity, both the House and the Senate.
Leaving then the hotel where he stayed in the heart of Rome, Grillo has not escaped the questions. “We go forward with the electoral law – said the leader of the M5S – but now, from here August 8, democracy is at stake in this country, not just the dialogue. Will combine the amazing things.” And the specific question whether “recognize” the line of Luigi Di Maio – more conducive to dialogue – Grillo says, “Di Maio is an extraordinary person. Overtime We are all citizens, but we were cornered.” And changing the subject adds: “There is a game in the economy of this country, in September you will know, there are dance ten years of our children’s future.”
“With the Democratic Party – he continued – there is a debate on the electoral law, but it is clear that we will not take us around. ” “It ‘unacceptable – said the leader of 5stars – the rush to Renzi on reforms that wants to change the Constitution at all costs in the month of August.”

Renzi writes a letter to senators: the estate of Italy depends on you – The Press

on electoral law remains the preferences node. It is a referendum on immunity and

“From your resilience depends very much of the future of Italy. We are called to a great responsibility not to waste it. ” Matteo Renzi wrote a letter to the senators of the majority on institutional reforms. “Earlier this week so busy I feel the need to write to you that with your support and trust are guaranteed a majority in the government,” said the premier. “We are building a business. A legislature was born with the difficulties that can remind you to mark a turning point in the history of the Republic. The constitutional amendment that you’re discussing exceeds the perfect bicameralism, simplifies the legislative process, balances the relationship between State and Regions, abolishes the CNEL, a State draws most effective and easy-reads the letter-. A revolution of common sense in line with the main European constitutional experiences. You can agree or disagree with this reform: define authoritarian means, however, argue with reality. ” For Renzi, “such a measure alone could give the sense of an entire political experience. But for us to be just the beginning. ” The prime refers to the second reading of the electoral law in the Senate.

“And, in September, it starts with the program of the Thousand Days: the question of justice, reform of the third sector, the proxy tax, reform of the labor market, the infrastructure plan, the simplification of public administration, “says Renzi always. “Only structural reforms will allow us to be credible to use the flexibility needed to jump-start employment and growth. We have a thousand days to return Italy to do Italy. After each make their own choices in freedom and respect. But the days we face can not be thrown away. Do not we can afford us, if you can not afford Italians. ” Renzi urges senators to not throw away the next few days and continues: “We are experiencing a very delicate moment in particular as regards International: Ukraine, Syria and Iraq, the Middle East and the Holy Land for silencing of Libya for us Italians is the next problem. In this frame is on our shoulders the responsibility of making Italy and Europe places a possible dialogue that states the reasons of peace and hope. ”

The prime minister says: “The constitutional reform for which you are going to spend days and nights I fear, not only in the classroom is therefore the rewriting is shared with part of the opposition of the Basic Law, it is also the ‘beginning of a fascinating and difficult attempt to restore substance to the word hope. Of restoring dignity to the word politics. To restore honor to the word parliament. Because the path can begin with the approval of the constitutional reform is necessary then your hard work these days and I would like to thank you. ” The letter continues: “I know that it is your duty and indeed many of you are happy to break the deadlock in the first months of the legislature with an ambitious project.” Then, pointing out that it is “umuliante ‘discuss’ argument absurd” as the name for the House, the Prime Minister added: “We know many of you personally, then, I thought I’d just write informally and perhaps little official to tell you from the bottom of my heart in gratitude and friendship to wish you good luck. There are those who want to block everything. And there are those who want to change, starting with himself. From your resilience depends very much on the future of Italy. We are called to a great responsibility not to waste it. ”

And on the electoral law says: “We have agreed on the basic points: clearly the winner’s prize of majority proportionate principle of alternation , but the discussion of the Senate be able to tackle the nodes are still open: preferences, thresholds, like that. ” And while it is still on immunity and referendum.

The last change is the July 27, 2014 at 19:48.

starts tomorrow week crucial for constitutional reform. According to the timetable approved by the conference of leaders of the Palazzo Madama, the hall of the Senate will return to consider the bill on the reform of the Senate and Title V of the Constitution after the go ahead Monday to decree Culture (so probably starting Tuesday), with sessions-river from morning to midnight every day, weekends included. A marathon on paper, depending on the timing quota decided to curb the filibuster, provides 115 hours total, of which 80 hours dedicated to voting (amendments are about 7,800). The target set by the leaders is that the final vote is taken on August 8, but to many, since co-supervisor Roberto Calderoni, the date will appear utopian in the absence of an agreement between the majority and the opposition. Not only that. The ongoing negotiations on constitutional reforms is intertwined with another deal, a little ‘behind the scenes: the one on the new electoral law.

ongoing negotiation
Beyond the opposition confrontation created last Thursday with the dramatic protest of the opposition (Sel, League, M5S dissidents Fi and Pd) climbs to the Quirinal to denounce the quota debate in the House, the Minister for Reforms Maria Elena Woods has started the contacts with all parties to ensure that the quota of the times leads to a tug of war with no way of Exit. The “surprise” if you will, will be released from the cylinder of the speakers, in a complex triangulation between Woods, the premier Matteo Renzi and oppositions. In any case, both of which Renzi Woods warned that if the filibuster is, the government is ready to move beyond the 8th of August, until the approval of the measure. But both are open to changes on “10, 20, 30, 50 points” on the merits, provided that the amendments are withdrawn obstructionist.

points mediation
The package of changes to be agreed with the opposition and “dissidents” and Pd Fi is being defined. Subject to “no” to the Senate elected a sign of mediation (not at all obvious, in fact) could be represented by the possibility that in the election of the regional council, the voter is given at the end of the possibility of a vote ‘dedicated’ to a candidate ‘adviser-senator’. Instead of letting regional councils the choice of the directors (and auditors) who sit in the Senate. But it is a road hardly feasible because the indirect election of the Senate for Renzi remains one of the lintels of the reform.
