ELECTORAL LAW
Milan , January 27, 2015 – 17:06
The House of the Senate approves new election law, the Italicum (second version) of the Government Matteo Renzi: senators voted with 184 yes, 66 against and 2 abstentions. Now the election law back to the House for the definite yes, you should not encounter major obstacles given the wide majority he can count on the government in the House. Great exultation of loyalists of Prime Minister who immediately tweeted: “The reforms are advancing. Italicum now in the House. ThanksSenatoriPD #lavoltabuona, “writes Luca Lotti . This is echoed by the holder of Reforms Maria Elena Boschi : “It seemed impossible a few months ago, yet the electoral law is ok even in the Senate. You own #lavoltabuona. ” Woods also added that in the Senate, “there was no forced” on the approval of the standard of coordination on the electoral law. “The Presidency of the Senate has ensured impartiality and guaranteed all, and has deleted the parties.”
Immediately tweets even the same Matteo Renzi , committed to the Nazarene in consultations ahead of the vote for the President of the Republic, “And two. Election law approved in the Senate. The courage pays, reforms are moving forward. #lavoltabuona. ” Also met the President of the Constitutional Affairs Committee, Anna Finocchiaro, author of the amendment that incorporates the changes made to the text compared to the first draft, “I believe that what we voted today in the Senate is the best summary possible that we could achieve in this branch of Parliament, with these political balance. Everything can be improved, but all the same we know that the reform of the electoral law you looking for the broadest possible consensus between the different forces representative in Parliament and can not answer the wishes of one party. ”
Bagarre until the last
In the decisive day dell’Italicum, there have been controversies and confusion and the Palazzo Madama, also minutes away from voting. The opposition objected vigorously formal coordination to the text of the electoral law, proposed by the Presidency. Criticisms have been leveled by Roberto Calderoli , Vito Crimi and Loredana De Petris , because, according to them, the formal coordination would intervene on the contents of the text . Meanwhile, Gotor and the other senators Democratic Party announced that they would not have participated in the vote.
The new system will apply from 1 July 2016, when it should be also accomplished the constitutional reform of the Senate. Meanwhile any elections should be held with a proportional system and electoral threshold to 4%, as expected by the ruling of the consultation which declared unconstitutional a good part of the previous Act of 2005.
Gotor:” Lost a chance, “
“In full respect of a party and a group to which we are proud to belong, on behalf of a group of senators of different sensitivity, announce my intention to not participate in the vote,” said Senator Pd Miguel Gotor speaking at the Senate. “The next Parliament, after ten years of porcellum, will still be a majority of appointed. Has missed the chance – more – to restore the choice to voters, forget the fact that the right to vote is the ultimate expression of the sovereignty of the people. There was room to find a different solution from the beginning of the Democratic Party and of the majority, but has chosen a different route. The dialogue with the opposition is right and sacrosanct, but allow two veto rights in Forza Italy, or no to the single-member constituencies and yes to a parliament appointed, is quite another thing. Let me be clear: we are not opposed to the fact that a party is appointed from above to facilitate adequate representation of civil society, but the proportion had to be reversed compared to the majority established dall’Italicum. The deep crisis between voters and institutions, the policy must return the scepter of choice to citizens focusing on their participation and empowerment. All the more so – concludes Gotor – in light of the reform of bicameralism, which must continue, after which we will have a single room politics, with only fiduciary relationship with the government and a Senate composed of autonomous elected second degree. “

Nothing referral
The work of the Senate have been suspended just before the final vote. The President Valeria Fedeli has indeed given a few minutes to explore the question of formal coordination of the reform, which according to the opposition hid substantive amendments. The classroom for a show of hands declared it was not referred back to committee. “I thought we were talking among good people” debuted Calderoli, who said that the formal coordination was actually “a maxi amendment.” Crimi asked with animated voice that coordination was sent back to the Commission, and recalled that “the President of the Senate after the approval of the law fraud in 1953 flew the tablets.” “I wonder if we take for idiots – hand, said De Petris – It is no longer tolerable that a presidency is only the interests of the majority. Or it expunges from formal coordination extraneous items, or sends him in committee . We are neither stupid nor do we want to be walked again. “
M5S disputes
During the protests by the opposition in the Senate, was especially M5S to raise his voice and gesture towards the Presidency . Some people like Senator Maurizio Buccarella mimics the sign of who washes his hands by notifying the Chair and shouting “it’s all a mess.” Complaints also came from group Sel by Senator Loredana De Petris that claims the right to intervene: “It is not that every time – says finally taking the word – I have to go to the infirmary because you are all Cecati …. I can not feel bad every time …. “
