ROME (Reuters) – Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said he was confident that the House approves the new electoral law, despite Forza Italy is both the parade and a minority of his party is against it, but as compensation puts on the table a possible modification of the reform Constitutional Senate.
On the electoral law “vows there will be,” the premier said the newspaper the Republic before departing for the United States.
“A part of Forza Italy will not pull back” and as for internal dissent to the Democratic Party, “are those forty (MEPs) really ready to make the barricades.”
At the meeting of the Group of the Democratic Party, two nights ago, only 190 Deputies of 310 were cast, to approve the classroom Italicum without modification, while others have not participated in the internal matters.
The action to a confidence vote in the House to make sure to close definitely the game in May, Renzi does not remove it, saying that “it is an issue that we will address in late April. It seems more a procedural question that policy. We’ll see.”
But the minority of his party and the opposition that criticizes the set of institutional reforms because it would give too much power to the executive by removing them to parliament, Renzi responds readiness to modify the reform of the Senate with the return to the direct election of senators.
“On the Senate elective you can change. To me that’s fine. I do not think that it is a fundamental point. The important thing is that you leave the bicameralism equal.”
The constitutional bill, which resizes the Senate chamber of local governments no longer vote of confidence in the government, has already shuttled between the Senate and House and is expected to a new reading of the Senate.
In the current version of the senators are chosen by regional councils between councilors and mayors, but part of the Democratic Party would like them to be directly elected by the citizens to ensure that they are more representative.
