Renzi sees Mattarella, “I have the numbers and go forward.” But the referendum could be postponed – The Daily

The jump of the “bridge” that leads to a vote on November 6 to prevent the defection of voters in late October weekend that ends on the day of commemoration of the dead. The hypothesis of “unpack” the content of the referendum to avoid a ‘no’, on the whole the government’s line, which would open the crisis and would lead to a vote with two different electoral systems for House and Senate , sgraditissima hypotheses to the President of the Republic. And uncertainty, hypothesis revision dell’Italicum touch the representation and majority premium . These are the nodes of the meeting yesterday between Matteo Renzi and Sergio Mattarella , in a face-to-face who was to prepare the participation of Prime Minister to the NATO summit in Warsaw, which will commit the until tomorrow.

The summit, however, is transformed into a point on the Italian political situation, commissioning fibrillation ventilated leaks from the government of a handful of senators Nec . The storm of Alfano and interceptions that see him involved invests the government balances. Here, Mattarella Renzi wanted to ensure that even in this case, the government has the numbers in the Senate , where the majority always wobbles. For the institutional role that is assigned by the Constitution, however, the head of state, parliamentary sources explained, could only try in any case to ensure political stability – especially if the referendum will take place during the budget session – and hereinafter the legislature, perhaps with a government order. A diversity ‘structural’ views that refer to the same sources, would be the origin of a meet at times tense . Disproves the official version, and reports of a relaxed attitude between Quirinale and Palazzo Chigi.

So, if in fact emerged a majority able to unify the two laws, the head of state could not disregard it. Legitimate, look back at the renziani, requests for change the electoral law (such as asking all of the minority and also a significant piece of the majority Democratic Party), but such an attempt would clash with the lack of numbers in Parliament agreed changes (in the Democratic Party, Franceschini asks for example the prize to the coalition but the Dem left wants the College to French). Similarly, explain the same sources, we would not have the numbers for an alternative government. Therefore, there would be no other option than voting. From here, the renziana line: go ahead with the referendum and win at any cost.

Not surprisingly embodies the idea of ​​moving it a week. The Prime Minister was inclined to vote on the last Sunday of October. But then, by consulting the calendar, someone has noticed that there is the bridge of the Saints, an irresistible temptation for abstainers. So the orientation is now to vote on the new constitution the November 6 next . The Radicals insist on unpacking one of the questions and Renzi, when asked about it by the President, for the first time has not erected barricades: “I prefer a yes or no to the entire law,” he replied, “but you can discuss” . Provided that serves to bring the debate on the real content of the reform.
