Rome is “a historic day,” says Matteo Renzi. But the Chamber of Deputies is half empty: the opposition solemnly proclaim the Aventine and leave hall, the day that begins with the intervention of the prime minister, the last parliamentary reading of the new constitution.
An abandonment motivated by the fact that, in their opinion, the Chamber should have put reforms in stand by waiting for the vote of the new no-confidence motion filed in the Senate. So the five deputies grillini present stage a small demonstration in front of Deputies against what they describe with the usual sobriety “the government of the prostitute”, the few Italian Forza get up and go out blatantly when he enters the prime minister, followed by the three members of the League. In the classroom remain the Democratic Party (with several dozen absent, especially the minority: Pierluigi Bersani, for example you did not show up), with the government’s counter manned by mass (though the owner of the reforms, Maria Elena Boschi, is in London as invited by the Westminster Parliament to illustrate the new Italian Constitution), the centrist Ncd and Ala.
“You can agree or not with the work of Parliament on this bill begins the Prime Minister – but what must be clear is that today won democracy, which is not called filibuster or escape from the classroom because it does not have the votes, but called for discussion and debate and then free and democratic expression of voting. ” Then the message lambasting the Aventine: “They say we go out of Parliament for the dismissal of the government. But when you go to vote, many of them remain out of Parliament, and I do not think it will be a problem for the vast majority of voters. “
Matteo Renzi choose a register all the merits, refuting one by one, in 25 points has carefully written based on the actions of opposites to the reform, criticism of its bill. Although, in Transatlantic, it lets out some sharper joke: “I wanted to make a speech entirely within the parliamentary debate because it is just put it on record that many of the objections to this reform are made by people who have never read our constitution, or who do not have it happen: for example, those who say that I would not be elected by the people, when the Charter makes clear that the President of the Council has voted by Parliament. ” Of course, he admits ironically, “hear many theories and many opposition complaints about democracy in danger, the only answer that I should have had a vibrant but of that ?, Roman. But I preferred to replicate point by point, because it is written remains. ” The prime minister looks beyond, to the constitutional referendum in October, in which “I play everything,” he says, and when asked what percentage should aim responds evading the question, “the center-left won in 2001 with 34% of voter remembers – but enough for me to win. ” His already discussed the establishment of committees to ensure around Italy. Committees, according to the grapevine parliamentary, could be presided over by none other than Giorgio Napolitano. For which, not surprisingly, Renzi has called yesterday the applause of the Parliament: “There is a senator to whom we owe everything. It is not here today, but without him all this step would not be possible: it is Napolitano. It was he to challenge you to make this parliamentary term the legislature of reforms. ” Then it pays tribute to Parliament, including the opposition: “For the first time the political class shows the best. Reform itself, and not just as they did other parts of the ruling class of this country. “
