Italicum classroom 27, seeking compromise secret vote-confidence – FIRSTonline

Rome, April 22 (Askanews) – The electoral law will land in the House to the House on Monday, April 27, where he will begin the general debate, then gets underway next week, but by the beginning of May will have the final green. This timing given by the majority and by the government. After the defection of the opposition in the committee, which today gave the mandate to the rapporteurs, Gennaro Migliore and Francesco Paolo Sisto, now the deal has moved on each other confidence-secret vote. The Democratic Party is trying to convince the opposition groups to give up their secret votes in exchange for providing the waiver put the issue of trust, considered by many a tear too.

An attempt by an explicit appeal to popular area “open to all parliamentary groups in order waiving the requirement of a secret ballot. The electoral law – says Ap – sets the mode of expression of popular sovereignty and is well that the debate and vote on it are the light of the sun, “but at the same time” should be avoided in any way the use of confidence. ” Even Reforms Minister, Maria Elena Boschi, asked the opposition to refrain from claiming the secret ballot because the battle on the electoral law “must be done openly.” But few at the time to trust a similar compromise, so it’s hard to say how this will end the match. Also because according to the parliamentary regulation is the secret ballot that the issue of trust can be asked at the last moment in plenary, on every single article of the reform.

Today sanctioned his radical rejection even Silvio Berlusconi defining the Italicum an authoritarian system with which Renzi hopes to take all the power even with a few votes. And when the fiercest enemy of the reform is the parent company of Fi, Renato Brunetta, who since yesterday threatened the request for a secret ballot on the final vote.

Even for members of the minority Democratic Party the question of trust is a problem more so because Renzi confirm that for him the electoral reform issue is vital to the very existence of the government and the legislature, would thus escape consequences heavy on the main government party. The threat of trust has therefore divided more of a component that was already placing in no particular order. If at the beginning of the parliamentary battle was talk of seventy dissidents, now they are reduced to perhaps thirty, according to the same members of the minority. So, numbers in hand, calculating in approximately 400 deputies of the majority, including Pd, Ap, Sc, PI, mixed group and Autonomy, in the secret of the urn are likely to fail between 50 and 70 votes, summing the malpancisti dem and those of other groups that support the government, as UDC and civic Choice. But with the secret vote there could also be “rescued” from that component of Fi that has always disagreed with the breach of the covenant of the Nazarene, ie verdiniani. So the final okay all’Italicum should not take risks.

The numbers therefore give reason to Renzi who returned to reiterate that we will not stop from the swamp and who wants to go ahead, says a fer: “Renzi does not want to be the head of a government that for the ‘Once again, as happened to his predecessors, fails on reforms, so we put the face and has staked his government sull’Italicum “.
