Italicum, the Democratic Party Renzi minority: “Electoral law is not discussed, no connection with the referendum” – The Daily

“L ‘ Italicum is not discussed.” Ise-Shima, Japan, where he is involved for the final of the G7 conference, the President of the Council Matteo Renzi responds to Pier Luigi Bersani . Yesterday the former secretary said he was willing to vote yes to the constitutional referendum of October on condition that the government replace the electoral law – approved with such effort – with two rounds of college, that is, the French system that for years has been the proposal of the democratic Party. A proposal rejected yesterday by Democratic leaders, Debora Serracchiani and Lorenzo Guerini , on which the prime minister back today, explaining why the Italicum is untouchable. “It gives the assurance to those who arrive first to rule – says Renzi – It ‘a very simple law that says that whoever wins the elections can govern, is critical in the relationship between politicians and people. And eliminates the risk of permanent mess-ups “. For the prime minister-secretary also “there can be No link between electoral law and constitutional referendum.” But “those who want to vote no was all right to do it …”.

“We have offered people the opportunity to be masters of their own future, they will decide – added Renzi – I am convinced that they will do as they say they do not as it suggested by a leader of a party or the other. ” “No one argues that the strength of the policy may vote against – he continues – is the biggest reform of reduction in the cost of policy. If he wins the no we want the regions as they are, if he wins the yes there is a reduction of the political and the cost of regional councilors. It ‘a big challenge. “

And the minority Democratic Party says that” there is a government in Italy who is making some reforms firm for years. That the maximum of the discussion is the designation of parliamentary mode, an internal debate and self-referential political class, it puzzles me: if the main party internal discussion must be how, I understand the concerns, but it seems reductive “instead of face the “real debate of the left in the world between freedom and equality.”

But Renzi speaks all over the field also touches on the theme migrants after the shipwrecks of the last hours in the Channel of Sicily and after the intervention by means of the Italian Navy that allowed to save more than 4 thousand people in just under two days. For the prime minister to “speak emergency migrants it is currently out of place”, given the numbers of arrivals, aided by the weather and sea conditions, which are in line with those of last year. The prime minister, however, appealed to the international community: “We must now move from the phase of the share to that of concrete.” This is the answer to those who asked for comment on the leader who shared the immigration issue as ‘ global challenge ‘, offering their support. “The Migration Compact is fine” now “look forward to the realization phase” to start working with the first countries that have already been identified, such as Niger . Those below the Sub-Saharan strip, interested in working with the EU. ” “We hope that between now and next EU Council in a month the issue is not only an issue on the table, but there is an EU concrete message.”
