Rome, April 16, 2015 – The Italicum continues to divide the Democratic Party . After the meeting last night which saw dem crack on the line dictated by the premier Renzi, the debate continues and moves from the classrooms to the media. The Secretary asks the party a ‘yes’ to the unconditional election reform. “It should be voted on as is,” he said last night. And raise the specter of a collapse of the government: “The life of the executive is linked to the electoral law, for better or for worse.” But the minority does not yield. The first slip off is even the leader in the House, Robert Hope that last night has put its mandate, speaking of “contradictions too big.” And headlong also Pier Luigi Bersani attacked: “If we continue at this rate – said at the meeting – I’m not there.” Result: they vote the line of direction only 190 deputies out of 310. The others are already out of the classroom.
And today is Bersani to pick up the thread showing that yesterday the ‘dissidents’ have joked. “ But which withdrew the minority. I’ve seen us more idea of fighting,” said responding to reporters outside the House. It adds: “Here we are talking about a problem of the democratic system in this country. I am appalled that in Italy we are discussing in this way of the things you are doing.” In short, the night did not dampen tensions. Indeed. Matteo Renzi does not speak and seems determined to resort to desperate measures: sull’Italicum, might get to ask the trust. A hypothesis that arouses the ire of the opposition, external and internal to the party. “I will not even consider that possibility,” responds trenchant Bersani.
Matthew Orfini calls for calm: “There will need to resort to a vote of confidence, “says the chairman of the Democratic Party while David Zoggia , a member of the majority, avoids throwing water on the fire:” We do not want to break, there is still room for dialogue “. All this while by the minority Democratic Party comes the acclaim for the resignation of Hope . “A gesture linear and consistent, the more ‘valuable in times of transformation and opportunism,” they wrote in a note 21 senators including Mineo, Lo Giudice and Gotor. Express solidarity for the former leader and call for continued confrontation.
In the evening is Lorenzo Guerini groped to reset everything. “No need for a pact with the minority – says the Deputy Secretary – In the assembly yesterday revealed” the will of the overwhelming majority of Members in the Chamber to stick to the choices of the group: there will be much more compact than it is told, a vast support of the Democratic Party. ” As for Hope, must “reflect” the resignation, according Guerini, “sbaglata have a choice.”
Meanwhile, in the House Committee on Constitutional Affairs slide to Monday the term of the amendments to the electoral law. The initial idea was to present the proposed changes tomorrow.
THE RELEASE OF BERSANI SU LA7 – In the evening, the former secretary has performed in some other jab: “We do not want to block or down the government, but to convince to change the path” of the electoral law reform “I think I say for the other sensitivity of the minority, Renzi is a heritage of this party. It ‘was more capable than me to widen the area of the consent of the Democratic Party. But too detach the roots is like selling the house for go rent. For the Democratic Party Renzi is an investment. “
And remember: Matteo Renzi “ is ruling with the votes I got I “, referring once again to the result obtained by the Democratic Party in 2013. Returning to the method dell’Italicum, explains: “As long as there is Renzi are quiet, we are on a democratic, but a mechanism in which one with 27% takes 55% in the second round, not that . This ballot correggiamolo however, making it more similar to a second round , giving representation to the system. “
In short, with the Italicum there are” systemic risk, “according to Bersani:” In my life I have never voted out of my company. If I did not this time feel to vote … “. He explains: “We are moving towards a system that can not be defined enhanced parliamentary because citizens choose the prime minister and members of parliament are appointed … But you can not even say that we are in a presidential system, it lacks any element of compensation.” “I made 20 years the battle against the theme of man in command – he concluded – I a system of ‘I think ghe’ not accept it. It ‘clear? With the proposed changes electoral law we do not solve this problem, but we take a bit ‘of risks. “
