Silvio Berlusconi has crossed the threshold of Palazzo Chigi early in the morning for the fourth meeting with the Prime Minister Matteo Renzi on the pact of the Nazarene and it came out almost three hours later. “Meeting positive,” said Assistant Secretary Pd, Lorenzo Guerini. “Confirmed the path of reform, an important step forward.” “Within the system of the electoral law already established – he added – we continue to work with the opportunity to bring some changes.” But “must be made with the agreement of all the parties.” And the biggest stumbling block remains preferences. “We would go very cautious,” said Guerini. “There is a willingness to confront, we see the comparison in the next few weeks how it will develop.”

Incassata the sprint by the Government of the Senate on the reform of the Senate and Title V, which should get the first yes from the Chamber tomorrow, at the center of the changes were therefore all’Italicum. Objective: to change the electoral law already passed by the House and in the process, since September, to be examined by the Constitutional Affairs Committee of the Senate. It’s up to the Prime Minister to square the circle, extricating himself from the position of Forza Italy and desires of the small parties, starting from the ally of government Ncd.

Increase the threshold below which triggered a run-off
At the interview between Renzi and Berlusconi also attended by those who in these days have been working behind the scenes for dem Guerini, precisely, and Luca Lotti, Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council; by Denis Verdini Fi and Gianni Letta. On the threshold to access the majority of the premium, “it seems to me that there are conditions to arrive at a convergence as well as for lower thresholds,” confirmed Guerini. It would therefore be spent raising 37-40% of the threshold below which triggered the ballot. With the click of the majority of the premium only to those who exceed the threshold in the first round. Progress also on the electoral threshold, now at 4.5% for the coalition parties and 8% for those not coalesced. The government said it was willing to lower it to 4%, although the number one Ncd, Angelino Alfano, one asks the 3% threshold for parties not coalesced.

Preferences and barriers nodes thorniest
On the rest, despite the optimism and the rush of the Prime Minister, the intention of the leader of the blue it seems to take more time. Especially preferences, never loved by Knight and instead point of honor for smaller parties. So much so that in the Pd salt the temptation to return to single-member constituencies. “I repeat to Matteo Renzi that the return to the” mattarellum “is in the DNA of the Democratic Party,” twittava this morning the deputy dem Roberto Giachetti. “With a timing suspect if it is remembered well Cuperlo.”
