The dissidents

But in the meantime it has become clear split in the majority: 16 dissidents of the Democratic Party (including Vannino Chiti, Felice Casson, Lucrezia Ricchiuti, Corradino Mineo and Walter Tocci) announced that they would not participate in the vote, while remaining in the House “as our duty,” unlike the senators of the Five Star Movement, who left the House in a row blatantly indiana.Tra the ‘dissidents’ majority also 19 Forza Italy (as Augusto Minzolini) 8 representatives of Ncd and two of the group to Italy.

What has been concluded today is in fact only the first of at least four steps parliamentary reform and, after final approval, the government has committed to submit it to a popular referendum. “It’s just a first step, the work that lies ahead is still tough and complex, but it is a critical step,” stressed the minister Woods. “They were demanding four months. It seems to me that we can all be satisfied: it is a first important sign of the desire to change the country and the ability to meet its commitments to citizens. ”

The comment of Forza Italy

It is also convinced the leader of Forza Italy, Silvio Berlusconi: “Thanks to your commitment and your loyalty. After months tormented, Forza Italy has once again become the protagonist, “he wrote in a letter to Members of Forza Italy, where he also adds:” I am close to you and I will still fight for and defend our freedom. I hope to do a 360 degree angle with the recovery, within a few months of full political freedom and electoral sottrattami with the decision of 1 August 2013 Our movement has become the only credible opposition to a government that has proven incapable up here to cut spending, reduce taxes, to achieve real structural reforms in the economy The last of GDP are the worst for 14 years and confirms the severe recession. ”

Woods remarked respect of ‘ commitment to approve the measure “within the suspension working and this has been possible thanks to the work of the Senate and of the whole structure of the Senate. Even in the most complicated – said Woods – has not diminished the determination. ” Of those who expressed dissent, Woods expressed regret “for those who have left the Chamber in a democratic debate. The disagreement can be expressed without going out. But the majority was large and so we are pleased with this result. ” The reform of the Constitution has just been approved in the Senate chamber reduces the representation of autonomy with less than a third of the members present, concentrating in the House the power to make laws, and to give confidence to the government.
