ROME “There are those who want to block everything. And there are those who want to change, starting with himself. From your resilience depends very much on the future of Italy. ” On the eve of a week (yet another) crucial in terms of the constitutional reforms in the Senate Matteo Renzi takes a pen and paper and wrote an open letter to the senators of the majority. “We are building a business,” wrote the Prime Minister noted the importance of “a state more efficient and easier” to restore dignity to politics in the eyes of citizens and authority to Italy in the eyes of European partners. But the news comes in the middle letter, when Renzi opens up the possibility to change the Italicum in the Senate, the electoral result of the covenant of the Nazarene already passed in the House: “We have agreed on the basic points: clearly the winner’s prize of majority proportionate , the principle of alternation. The debate in the Senate will allow to address the nodes are still open: preferences, thresholds, like that. ” Translated: the minimum threshold, now at 4.5% for the coalition parties and 8% for non-coalesced, they can be standardized to 4% for all. How are clamoring for the smaller parties, starting with the New center-right government and the opposition vendoliana Sel. And a solution on preferences – become a flag grillina – must be found despite the known opposition of Silvio Berlusconi, for example, explain the Democratic Party in the house, ensuring the election of the list headers and leaving preferences for others. Arcore clear that this is not played well at all, so that the meeting already scheduled for this morning between Renzi and Berlusconi immediately jumped because of “ailment” that take away from Rome for the former Knight ‘ whole week (see article on this page).
The fact is that in the face of opposition filibuster, with about 8 thousand amendments referred to only 6 thousand well-sel, the “swamp” in the Senate on reform of Title V of the Senate and is no longer a risk but already a humiliating reality. Hence the move Renzi: to provide the changes all’Italicum to get the go-ahead for reforms in the Senate within a reasonable time. The issue of thresholds is obviously a matter of survival for Sel, which is unlikely to be able to pass a higher threshold of 4%. With this basic premise – that is, the willingness to review the Italicum – both Renzi is responsible for the reforms Mary Helen Woods have taken a few days the thread of dialogue with the senators of the Democratic Party dissidents who gather around Vannino Chiti. Just Chiti is turning into “bridge builder” of the political agreement with vendoliani Sel that could break the deadlock in the Senate today: more time to discuss the points of the tie-breaking reform – election procedures and powers of the Senate, immunity, election the President of the Republic, the referendum – in exchange for the withdrawal of the proposed amendments for the purpose obstructionist. Which means, calendar in hand, get to August 8, having examined and voted on the amendments to the articles of the reform and crucial letting slip a final vote on Sept. 2.
