“If this does not pass the election law is the very idea of ​​the Democratic Party as a vehicle for change that Italy is not. The poll of these hours there is dancing in the electoral law, of course. But also the dignity of our party. ” Matteo Renzi chooses a letter to the circles of the Democratic Party to launch the last appeal to his deputies in view of the start of voting, this morning, sull’Italicum. There should be another meeting of the group Democratic Party in the House before the showdown vote secret (will be two) ruling on the constitutionality presented by Forza Italy. A challenge that the government has decided to accept, as anticipated by the Sole 24 Ore last Friday, without posing immediately trust the ruling as well as technically it would be possible (there is a previous Cossiga). Applies voted last meeting, one that saw the dramatic resignation of Robert Hope from the parent company, and before that by the party leadership. And it is to respect the decisions of the majority who calls the prime minister and secretary of the Democratic Party: “The first rule of democracy is respect, all together, the consensus rule inside. When I lost the primaries, I recognized that the policy was to give those who had won. Now I’m not just asking loyalty: I’m demanding respect for a whole community that has been expressed many times on this subject, at all levels. ”

The alternative, regardless of the confidence that in all likelihood will be put on the three articles of the text that have changed in the House (on the final vote, by secret ballot, it is not possible), it is the end of ‘ government experience. “They can send home the government if you really want to, but can not stop the urgency of change that the Democratic Party is today,” writes Renzi. Remembering those who have ears to hear that he will still be the secretary of the “change” at least until the primaries of 2017. As if to say: in case of early elections lists makes your voice.

A test of force, therefore, the one that is about to experience the House of Deputies. With a letter directly to the

Democratic Party (and in the evening came as a response to “full confidence” of the 20 regional secretaries) and the decision not to put trust on Renzi ruling makes it clear not to fear the snipers of his party and want to cash in quickly the result. So fast that last night the leaders of the Democratic Party in the House were discussing with the government the opportunity to proceed immediately, already after the vote on the ruling, the votes on the articles of the law without waiting for the start of next week as established in recent days . And the minority Democratic Party begins to position itself: the ruling everyone – from dialoguing Nico Stumpo and the same hope to the more radical as Alfredo D’Attorre – will vote in line with the government. The message we want to give is clear: “If tomorrow (today for the reader, ed ) there will be a broad consensus on rulings – says Stumpo – becomes an unacceptable violence pose the question of trust immediately after. ” It goes without saying that even the “radical” D’Attorre points the finger at the hypothesis confidence: “I see too much security around. The trust would be something so traumatic that you can not say now how many of us would participate in the vote. ” To give a hand to the minority echo the words of Enrico Letta, these days back on the court with criticism of government action: “The trust would be a mistake. The matter is in the hands of the prime minister, and it is his interest to have a large majority. Renzi dell’Italicum can win the battle, but if he wins on the rubble is not a big win … I will be in the House, and my vote will also depend on the attitudes on the vote of confidence. ”

Meanwhile, the election of the new leader of the Democratic Party (in pole vice Ettore Rosato), originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed until after the approval dell’Italicum also not to accentuate the tension with the ‘ area more open to dialogue of its minority led by Hope. From today’s showdown moves directly in plenary.
