 Maria Elena Boschi

Rome, April 23, 2015 – After the defections from the commission of the minority dem, electoral reform, better known as ” Italicum “received green light without modification from the Constitutional Affairs Committee in the House. Best Gennaro (Pd) and Francesco Paolo Sisto (FI), rapporteur of the law was sent to present the measure in the House for final discussion which will begin next Monday, April 27.

The commission is ok in the past with the absence of all opposition groups : M5S, Sel, Forza Italy, Lega and FDI, as announced, have resorted to ‘ “Aventine”. It is not excluded that the government puts confidence in Parliament, but the real concern is the possibility that the opposition ask and get the secret ballot unleashing thus possible snipers who could turn his back on in secret Matteo Renzi and risk of dropping his government if it is placed the trust without the necessary votes.

The Minister for Reforms and Relations with Parliament, Maria Elena Boschi hopes that the vote does not go with the secret ballot “I hope that the parties decide together to discuss this measure without resorting to a vote secrets and ‘a possibility granted by the Regulation and therefore clearly and’ a faculty groups to ask, on this there is no ‘doubt. But I think the battles you can play openly. Let’s see what happens but I think ‘that Forza Italy has already announced the request for a secret ballot in an official manner, “he said.

To the Minister Woods responds Renato Brunetta , leader of Forza Italy who had already announced in recent hours to ask for the secret ballot and confirms: “fear of the government. One more reason ‘to ask the secret ballot. We think that MPs should express themselves on a measure so ‘delicate in the fullness of their consciences. Then ask the secret ballot. “

Silvio Berlusconi , leader of Forza Italy has made known his doubts sull’Italicum and vote against:” We can not allow to take the Renzi total power with 30% of the vote through a law that effectively with the barrage of 3% pulverizes the opposition. We had proposed the direct election of at least one who wins is legitimized by the people, and there would be only two parties, “said the former Knight at the meeting of the groups Fi.

The former president of the Council Enrico Letta recalled in an interview with Radio 24 that in the history of the Italian Republic has voted only once an electoral law to narrow majority and was not a nice experience as the previous concerns “porcellum” and “e ‘was a disaster. Letta also explains that “the Mattarellum and those of the First Republic, were approved in large majorities because, as he said Renzi same, the rules of the game you are all together. There ‘need of a large majority. “
