Constitutional reform: in October there will be a referendum – Blasting News

The Constitution of the Italian Republic was approved by the Constituent Assembly on December 22, 1947 and entered into force on January 1 of the following year. The Constitution consists of 139 articles with relative paragraph and divided into four sections, which are: fundamental Principi, Rights and Duties of Citizens, Order of the Republic and final provisions. Important for Democracy held, it is the parliamentary activity that takes place through the House and Senate. It also says that, taking into account art. 138 which provides for the revision or reform of the Constitution, it should not alter the republican spirit and the ideals on which it is based. It happens that, after seventy years from its birth, there is a reform of the Constitution carried out by this government, and that in October it will be submitted to the judgment of the citizens in a referendum to approve or reject the revision thereof. The electoral campaign for the referendum has already started and to take the field is the same Renzi, who carries on the reasons for the “Yes ” and announced ten thousand committees throughout the country. The referendum, say the supporters of the “No”, you can not play on a conflict and be transformed into a personalization of the vote on the figure of Renzi, also because there are dancing in the estate of Parliament and of democracy itself.

it should be noted that the committees for the “No” are made up of distinguished jurists and careful as Rodotà , Lorenza Carlassare, Gustavo Zagrebelsky , which put the emphasis on a reform that, through Italicum (new election law), would deliver the power in the hands of a single person who would like the right to appoint all its majority citizens leaving only 20% of its representatives, so the associations always count less. For Zagrebelsky there is a risk that, in case of victory of the “Yes”, steps away from the oligarchy Democracy. According to the proponents of the “NO” the Senate will become the chamber of appointed councilors who will enjoy parliamentary immunity, since by many it was pointed out that at this point it would be better to abolish it instead of leaving it standing with the excuse of having reduced the number of senators. Stefano Rodotà the referendum has nothing to do with the majority of address since the rewriting of rules should provide for the resolution of political conflicts without being biased. Moving forward on this path, according to overspend, because of a flawed electoral law, as is the Italicum would risk move from a representative democracy to a investiture.

For the Constitutionalists the outcome referendum will depend on the media that they should try to inform as much as possible because the citizens can decide fairly on reforms that matter directly to them. Renzi says: “If I can not push through the reform leave” and also says that a house to house campaign will be implemented, door to door to talk to people, emphasizing that, with the Reformation, the President of the Region do not earn more than Prime Minister. populist accents that are not suited to a leader who wants to transform the country. to stem the plebiscite effect, which would have triggered Renzi connecting the victory of the “Yes” to his person, are thinking of dividing the referendum question in six questions on the reform of the Constitution to have for the moment the opposition, supporters of the “No”, a clear vision of what you want.
