So far the most plausible hypothesis is that the reform Electoral arrivals after Christmas in the Senate without Rapporteur, ie without the vote of the Committee on Constitutional Affairs. Matteo Renzi has already called for a meeting tomorrow with all the senators of the Democratic Party to formalize the decision. The objective of the premier is to have the green light from the Senate all’Italicum by January, before triggering the convocation of Parliament in joint session for the selection of the successor of Giorgio Napolitano. To achieve this reform must be “anchored” in the courtroom before the Christmas break, so by 23 December.

The decision to “jump” the Commission is considered inevitable at this point, given the maneuver “obstructionist” confirmed by the bulk (well 18 thousand) of a mendments and sub-amendments presented last week. A decision but risks further aggravate the fracture inside the Democratic Party and, simultaneously, to undermine the pact with Berlusconi. Renzi has already put in the account. The Prime Minister believes, however much more dangerous to remain “hostage” of so-called “brakeman” internal and external.

Today the committee will vote on the agenda of the League’s Roberto Calderoli, which essentially asks nell’Italicum the introduction of so-called safeguard clause. This could be also a mere reference to a ministerial decree, and therefore strictly the government: “Unless the government distrust of himself …” quips Calderoli who believes it must be present in the electoral reform of the rule of referral. A proposal so far rejected by the government because, as he repeated yesterday in Eastenders Minister for Reforms Maria Elena Boschi, “there is no reason for an electoral law to pass because there is the judgment of the Constitutional Court (the so-called Consultellum, ed) that is autoapplicativa. ” Eventually, he said, between the “laws of passage” there is also the possibility of a return to “Mattarellum ‘, as stated in some amendments tabled by senators renziani and that yesterday was also supported by Pi er Luigi Bersani. Former Secretary, travel the reforms of the Olive Prodi, also recalled that election, “the Mattarellum, which is certainly better than the porcellum and even a tad bit better dell’Italicum.” That Bersani was not a proposal, but it is clear that hardly a minority of the Democratic Party could oppose a possible return to Mattarellum. For now though, the idea of ​​resurrecting the old law uninominale seems to be a move above tactics. Renzi knows that Mattarellum is the most hateful to Silvio Berlusconi and then actually mean the end of the Covenant of the Nazarene. The prime minister does not want to break with

the Knight, but at the same time trying to stop the attempt by the leader of Fi that wants the green light to the electoral law only after choosing “shared” the new head of state. It’s what he repeated yesterday Renato Brunetta. The leader of the House Fi has sent a letter to the same Berlusconi in which argues th at the “no” to a choice “shared” the Head of State should be answered with a “no” from Fi to electoral reform and that of the Senate today classroom in the House, who – said Brunetta – are “not our reforms.”

But Renzi no intention. “If there are we will go ahead anyway,” continues to repeat. It applies not only to Berlusconi but also for the minority inside. Among the proposed amendments is also to the list headers blocked against the Bersani Federico Fornaro, believes that the current norm dell’Italicum unconstitutional because “violates the principle of equality between candidates of the same list (one locked and the other with preference). ” A position that though the majority Democratic Party rejects. Senator Stephen Hill not only feels fully constitutional text but recalls that “the plant dell’Italicum was repeatedly shared decision-making bodies of the Democratic Party and is the result of a political agreement to overcome the swamp. The system of 100 leaders blocked an integral part of the Agreement. “
