Reforms, fight in the House: MPs standing on the benches – The Messenger

Reforms, fight in the House: MPs standing on the benches – The Messenger

Brawl in the classroom in the House, with deputies standing on the benches that are hurled against each other. The vice president Roberto Giachetti suspended the sitting. In a climate of high tension for the brawl caused by M5s, the fight broke out suddenly between a deputy of Sel and one of the Democratic Party, with the first one that has started going the second shouting “piece of m …”.

Immediate intervention of their colleagues of the two deputies and assistants, and the suspension of the session by the Vice Giachetti.

The session is suddenly turned on after a vehement intervention of Robert Fico, who attacked the Democratic Party. MEPs Pentastellati started crying so rhythmic “honesty, fairness,” beating on the benches hands or folders of the amendments.

Giachetti started to draw attention to the deputies of M5s, without feed through , and at this point has expelled the most frantic, Alessandro Di Battista, Carla Ruocco and Alfonso Bonafede.

Meanwhile, very slowly, between endless procedural discussions, the path of reform continues to the Constitutional Chamber, after the decision taken by the majority Wednesday night to continue a session “no stop.” The government has attempted an agreement with the M5s, but the condition laid down by the latter, namely the approval of three own amendments, was deemed not acceptable, which provoked the indignant reaction of pentastellati that, while remaining in the classroom , have not participated in the voting. And tensions have arisen even in the majority, including a lack of quorum that caused the irritation of President Laura Boldrini. While Forza Italy, in

 underline his disappointment at a forced march imposed by the government, appeals to the Head of State Sergio Mattarella.

But from Brussels intervenes Matteo Renzi with a warning: “It is astonishing that there is not so much those who express a dissent, that would be legitimate, but that since it has the ideas in the minority try to filibuster and block attempts. Our majority it stops. Very good, full speed ahead. “

M5s remains the opposition group that during the night he practiced with more force on filibustering, with continuous interventions on the order of business and regulation, which have blocked the vote on the amendments, which fell dramatically after Fi and League withdrew those obstructionist. Hence the attempt by the rapporteur Emanuele Fiano, the deputy leader of the Democratic Party Ettore Rosato and government, to find an agreement with M5s to unlock the work.

I have Pentastellati place but as conditions for approval of a certain number of amendments (initially seven and then went down to three) aimed at encouraging

 the “direct democracy”: elimination of the quorum in the referendum, obligation of the House to examine the laws of popular initiative, the possibility of parliamentary minorities to appeal to the Constitutional Court (the current text of the bill admits only to the electoral laws). The requests were rejected by the Democratic Party and the government, causing even the wrath of Beppe Grillo on the blog.

In the courtroom deputies of M5s continued their battle obstructionist, marking with the non-participation in the voting disagreement with the decision of the session river. The latter is then

 declared illegal by the other oppositions, so that the parent company of Renato Brunetta Fi has brought before the President of the Republic Mattarella.

But the tension is very high even in the majority, because of “niet” opposites from Minister Maria Elena Boschi to numerous amendments. A “stiffness,” according to Alfredo D’Attorre minority

 the Democratic Party, that after the end of the Covenant of the Nazarene, is “incomprehensible and comic.” In particular, the minority of the Democratic Party insists that is inserted in the transitional rule that allows a preventive judgment of the Constitutional Court sull’Italicum: amendment on which was vetoed Fi, but now it is withdrawn from the pact.

The line Minister Woods is still to make the fewest changes to the text approved by the Senate, in the hope that it will then confirm what was decided by the House in this reading. “Yesterday we have ensured that the reform goes ahead and we expected that after the end of the covenant of the Nazarene changed the method – threat D’Attorre – If this continues we will feel free to vote our proposals in plenary, differences emerge in the Democratic Party.”

Net reaction of the Deputy Secretary of the party Lorenzo Guerini, “I do not understand the controversy of D’Attorre. The minority Democratic Party has always been involved, we have faced for a long time making

 changes also took from them. I expect all of a responsible and loyal. ” And the first sign of this situation of internal tension to dem there was just the opening of the session, this morning, when the deputies of the majority were not sufficient to ensure a quorum.
