Italicum, the day of the split of Pd Bersani, Letta and Hope … – L’Espresso

“The law fraud, in front of the monster Sovieticum that we presented today, appears even more democratic.” So the leader of Sel Arturo Scotto in his speech in the House after the announcement of the government that has decided to trust sull’Italicum. At the end of his speech Members of the party have presented flowers to the benches of the government for what they termed “the funeral of democracy” .of Marco Billeci

 Minutes later, in fact, the mild, thoughtful, laid former parent company announces its tear: no vote of confidence in the government Renzi. The Democratic Party is split, the decisive measure, the electoral law. By dint of pulling out of here and there, forcing Renzi produces a certain result, the Italicum approved by step charging, and a dramatic split in the Democratic Party where a wing is about Renzi as Enrico Berlinguer spoke of Bettino Craxi in 1984 at the time of the escalator. “At stake is democracy,” raises his voice Pier Luigi Bersani. He also did not vote of confidence, as Rosy Bindi . The minority of the Democratic Party joined the opposition. And in the evening we add another no heavy: the former premier Enrico Letta .

But the session had left more than soft: soporific. And the vote on the ruling of unconstitutionality, by secret vote at two in the afternoon had given the government the most damning results. More than one hundred and seventy votes difference, 384 to 209 in the case of the first vote, 385 to 208 in the second, the secret of the urn, a chasm between the majority and the opposition, proof of any ambush any snipers. Transatlantic, during lunch, many were betting that with numbers so hardly reassuring Renzi could have put the confidence to kill the debate. Only in two cases, the trust was used on electoral laws in 1923, Mussolini government on the law Acerbo, and in 1953, De Gasperi government on the law Scelba, the law-scam. Other times of tragedy and tension. Today, April 27, 2015, the climate inside and outside the courtroom was rather gray, iron and smoke, oppositions rusty, tired.

During the debate in the House, while the president reply to some comments on the application of the regulation, from the benches feels scream” collusion “. Boldrini stops and says: “Go ahead, insult, congratulations.” She adds, addressing the author of the insult: “I will have to answer”

 Instead of rice balls per hour was consumed by a game of poker with double bluff. The bluff opponents dell’Italicum: to show that the numbers were sure to then stretch some trap in some secret vote on an amendment minor. And to Renzi: pretend to believe the good intentions declared the minority inside the Democratic Party. So the prime minister who had already won the game continued in the only scheme that is congenial, as a player forced to endlessly repeat the same move: win big. Asphalt, as they say on twitter, opponents. Do not miss a minute. Run, run forever. He has won the secret ballot? You have to win big.

At three twenty touches to announce Woods confidence that Reset the debate. The classroom explodes. Insults, “do not hold flowers in the classroom,” complains the Boldrini with colleagues Sel. “There you will become a classroom of handpieces renziani. We say no to fascism Renzi! “Thunders Brunetta, and gotten the reproach of Ignazio La Russa,” this is a farce, not fascism. ” “This vote is a lost opportunity. It will be heartbreaking. And on election law exists heterogenesis ends, who makes for himself ends up favoring someone else, “reasons the dean of the House Pino Pisicchio, ancient wisdom Democrat. The League does not retain contentment. The 5 Star Movement raises the tone and promises two days of fire. But the powder is elsewhere. In Pd.

As soon as the Minister for Relations with Parliament, Maria Elena Boschi, announced the ‘ Government’s intention to put the trust on the electoral law in the House, in the courtroom have raised protests and cries of the opposition. Among the most agitated Senator Fi Bianconi who shouted “infamous” to the minister and then sent to that country the president of the Chamber Boldrini beckoning him (video by Mark Billeci)

 The largest party, right now, has not even a parent. A substitute is not the zealous Ettore Rosato, the real leader of the Democratic Party is called Matteo Renzi. With confidence sull’Italicum each bridge is blown. On 15 January a year ago the newly elected secretary of the Democratic Party had motivated the meeting of the Nazarene with Silvio Berlusconi with the need for a large majority to make reforms, “it is not our style to make them alone. Ah, what a disgrace matters of style, the song says Ivano Fossati, the hell with the style, the Italicum tomorrow will be, perhaps, a good electoral law envied by all, as it promises Renzi, but today is the name of a division through what remains of the Parliament and splits the Democratic Party, scrapping the last leader of the past. Fear or arrogance or both. Or for the repetition compulsion of a leader forced to always interpret itself. Without alternatives.
