ROME – Three hours of face-to-face. No green light to a new Italicum but some opening to possible modifications. The meeting at Palazzo Chigi between Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and the leader of Forza Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, began at 8 am. A cutting reforms and, in particular, on the electoral law, in an attempt – by the Prime Minister – to accommodate the request of some small parties of the majority of Sel, a part of the same Democratic Party. The reform of the Constitution to the Senate is a “historic step” and according to Matteo Renzi is now at the finish. In a letter sent to the parliamentary majority to expose the program of the ‘thousand days,’ Renzi explains: “The Senate is debating this bill at this very hour. Passing the historic, fundamental: there we are.” And on the reform of the electoral law, the Prime Minister will insist that ensure the identification of a “winner” and “stability” for the government. “The electoral reform, with the guarantee of a winner and stability for the winner. Passed the first reading in the House, we’re going to shoot in the Senate.”
“It is established that the possibility of changes will be the subject of a large comparison on the threshold of access, “he said at the end of the Assistant Secretary of the Democratic Party, Lorenzo Guerini, while” preferences would go cautious. ” In essence “was a positive meeting. Has been confirmed the path of reform. Continue on electoral law established within the facility,” he added. No comment, however, on the part of the Prime Minister and the former Knight. Meeting were also loyalists of the two leaders: Gianni Letta and Denis Verdini, with Berlusconi Guerini Lorenzo and Undersecretary Luca Lotti with Renzi. Possible alterations, no distortions. part forzista is thus arrived the green light to an ‘adjustment’ on the threshold of the dams for the ‘small’ parties, and for those who are in coalition and for those who go to the polls on their own without alliances. This, according to sources of Forza Italy, the location that would express Silvio Berlusconi. A availability, therefore, to discuss in the next meeting, to be held after the summer break, when it was approved in first reading the bill constitutional reforms, the ‘finishing touches’ – and here Berlusconi would have been’ firm ‘, touches not upheavals – be made all’Italicum.
node preferences . Preferences, however, the former prime minister would express doubts, but without a ‘no’ ruling at this stage of the comparison. By Berlusconi, still refer to the same sources, you still got the confirmation of the covenant of the Nazarene and narrow axis with Renzi on the whole path of reforms. Even by the Prime Minister would be made known of the ‘comments’ preferences. During the meeting would also discuss the hypothesis of single-member constituencies, but without having been taken a final position on the preferences that both leaders stuck on that, finally, sull’uninominale.
Matteo Renzi yesterday was appeared optimistic mainly because the Senate constitutional reform seems to be heading towards a fast approval on first reading at its meeting on Thursday. It is rumored that the Prime Minister may intervene classroom before the final go-ahead. On the search for an agreement was also attended by the leaders Ncd Angelino Alfano, “I believe that a pact to three (which also includes Ncd, ed ) there is in fact “, but” we want the majority premium, preferences, and the lowering of thresholds. If there are shall we say yes, otherwise we will say no. ” Senate resumes work on reform bill . And this morning in the Senate resumed the debate on the reform bill. Among the most relevant discussion on Articles 21-25 which relate to the Head of State, the election to the functions in the hands of the President of the Republic, and the quorum of the referendum. Then, late in the evening, the government has stopped running on an amendment Sel approved by 5 votes to scrap. It introduces into the Constitution the responsibility of the Regions on matters that relate to the “parliamentary representation of linguistic minorities.” Election of the President of the Republic. The House of the Senate approved article 21 of the constitutional reform regarding the mode of election of the President of the Republic. Abolished the regional delegates, changing the quorum: “The election of the President of the Republic is by secret ballot by a majority of two thirds of the assembly. After the fourth ballot is simply the three-fifths majority of the Assembly. After ‘ eighth ballot an absolute majority is sufficient. ” Also approved the Articles 22-24 of the constitutional bill that also change the Constitution to reflect the new structure of the chambers. With the elimination of the direct election of the Senate, in fact, the President of the Republic may dissolve the Chamber of Deputies only. And if the Head of State is unable to perform its functions, will be replaced not by the President of the Senate, but the President of the Chamber. The Minister for Reforms, Mary Helen Woods, however, does not exclude that there may be changes to the text with respect to the audience that elects the President of the Republic in the passage of the constitutional reform in the House: “The government, as it can and it is absolutely within its competence available in the parliamentary process in the House, to return to this topic and to identify a method of electing the President of the Republic, which would strengthen the impartiality and the role of collateral, “said Woods. “The starting positions on this point were far and has sought a convergence Commission – said Woods – that could improve the government’s proposal allowing an agreement between the various gurppi. Know that the text is still improvable and perfectible.” Emedamento from the Chamber rejected the senator’s Democratic Party, Miguel gotor, which proposed to broaden the audience to MEPs that elects the President of the Republic. The dissenting votes were in favor of the 156 110 18 abstentions. During the session, the Senate president, Pietro Grasso said ineligible all amendments proposing the direct election of the head of state. “The admissibility of amendments, the Bureau considers relevant to the decision of the Commission to match the bill of the government only some of the many proposed laws exclusion of those whose object is the question of the direct election of the head of state and the form of government” has motivated Grasso, who also ruled the amendments and that the following articles relate to the form of government, the duties and the role of the prime minister.former presidents Republic Senate seat in . Former presidents of the Republic will be guaranteed a seat for life in the new Senate. An amendment signed by one of the speakers of the constitutional reform, Anna Finocchiaro, asks to broaden the audience to the chairmen emeritus of the 100 senators. Under the text published by the Commission (Article 39 Final provisions), in fact, the senators presidential nomination should not exceed the number of five, including senators for life, and those who were appointed by existing law. At Palazzo Madama, now the five seats were already ‘occupied’, as there is the former president Carlo Azeglio Ciampi and senators for life, appointed by Giorgio Napolitano, Carlo Rubbia, Elena Cattaneo, Renzo Piano Mario Monti. One hypothesis that would come into contradiction with the provisions of Article 59 of the Constitution which reads: “Senator is right and for life unless he renounces who was president of the Republic.” With the amendment corrects the error, and then it states that the five senators appointed by the president take into account the presence of the senators who were appointed for life, but will be excluded from the computation of the former leaders of the state.
Trust in government only by the House. “The government must have the confidence of the Chamber of Deputies.” This is what is stated in Article 25 of the constitutional bill, which was approved in the House with 179 yes, 40 no, and 8 abstentions. With this constitutional amendment the new Senate will not have the power to give and take confidence in the government, that power will be for the single room. referendum signatures back to 500 thousand . Back to 500 thousand the number of signatures calling for a referendum, through an amendment of the speakers. But if the proponents have collected more than 800 thousand signatures, triggered a lower quorum for approval, calculated on the majority of voters in the last election. Otherwise it will, as now, the absolute majority of claimants. The text published by the Commission increased to 800 thousand signatures required to call a referendum, but did lower the quorum majority vote calculated on the number of voters of the last election. The amendment tabled in Parliament today instead save the old formula: 500 thousand signatures, or five Regional Councils and the absolute majority of claimants. But it also adds the second option: 800 thousand signatures, and the majority of voters in the last election. In addition, an amendment of the speakers also provides for the possibility of holding a referendum proactive and address.More signatures for a popular law. To submit a proposal for a law of popular initiative will serve 150 thousand signatures, three times the current 50 thousand (250 thousand but less than the first version of the Bill Woods). And ‘as it establishes an amendment of the speakers at reform bill amending the text released by the committee in the Senate and will be voted on in the classroom Palazzo Madama: there should be no surprises and the amendment will pass. All clear in Article 26. Green light by the Senate in Article 26 of the draft law on reforms by 158 votes in favor, 28 against and 2 abstentions. The rule amends Article 96 of the Constitution and provides that only the House of Representatives must give to the court for permission to proceed against the President of the Council or of Ministers.
Deleted the CNEL. The Senate approved the article 27 of the constitutional reforms that abolished the CNEL. 203 senators in favor, 11 against, 7 abstentions. From the Constitution disappear Provinces . Green light to the abolition of the provinces in Article 114 of the Constitution. The Assembly approved it by 179 yes, 41 no, and 9 abstentions art. 28, which suppresses mention of the provinces between the joints of the Republic territorial.
