The Italicum is the new electoral system. The House gave the final go-ahead to the law: the yes were 334, 61 i no, abstentions 4. All opposition, along with each other, before the vote have left the Chamber of Deputies. The poll was secret (as required by Forza Italy , League and Brothers of Italy ), but votes against came – from what we understand – the minority Pd , by some members of the Combination , the New center-right and one Forza Italy (contrary to the indications of the group). A few seconds of applause from the benches of the Democratic Party hailed the passage of the law. Many of the parliamentary majority who went to kiss the minister for reforms Maria Elena Boschi , from ministers Angelino Alfano and Roberta Pinotti and different undersecretaries.
The new electoral law “had a large element of clarity – had said just before the prime minister – For five years the government will be clear, winner . There will be a system in which our country will finally be the point of reference for political stability, which is a precondition for economic innovation. ” In the House the Deputy Secretary of the party Lorenzo Guerini added: “We value our consistency, so as to give answers to the commitments made.” To Pier Luigi Bersani , head of the “dissidents” of the Democratic Party and among those who certainly have voted against, “the dissent was quite broad. Now what’s done is done … but in the given political and approval of the law is the size of dissent is not insignificant. “
According to Robert Hope , leader resigned because of the disagreement on electoral law “if not 38 challenge by voting confidence to say that dissent is much greater. But the numbers are not to be interested, the fact is that it has approved the electoral law with less than a majority. This is the political point and that’s what I always told Renzi start. ” According to Renato Brunetta is a “Pyrrhic victory”.
Pending stamp Mattarella
But besides the political dynamics is now waiting for the countersignature of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella . The Five Star Movement with Danilo Toninelli , has appealed in the Chamber directly to the Head of the State because they give the ok to electoral reform. And the president is likely to end in the midst of pulling jacket from both sides: “Obviously over the role of President of the Republic – said the Minister for Reforms Woods – Do not shoot for the jacket Mattarella. But since it is a constitutional lawyer, I am convinced that the sign “. Mattarella was among the judges of the Constitutional Court that he had “failed” the Porcellum that several lawyers have compared the same Italicum. The established practice by the Quirinale provides an assessment of “ manifest unconstitutionality “, a practice that makes it clear that you can not replace in any way prior to a possible subsequent investigation of the Consulta. Among other things, the article 74 of the Constitution provides that the President of the Republic, in a case is referred to the Chambers of a law, must accompany this return with a considered opinion and that in case of a second approval is still obliged to promulgate it. Many among other past precedent of laws enacted by the Quirinale and then came under the lens of the Constitutional Court.
But beyond the items and practices, despite the silence of the Hill on the subject, just read the interventions of Mattarella in these nearly three months past the Hill to understand how respectful of parliamentary prerogatives, but also how strongly feel the need to make the path to reform. “ Another priority is made by the adoption of a new electoral law, a subject on which the Parliament is committed,” he said in fact inaugural address to the Chambers. “Reforms are a virtuous path. This is beyond doubt “, confirmed a few days ago talking to journalists.
Who it was and who was not
About 310 members of the Pd , 303 participated in the vote, the first was on a mission and six did not take part in the final vote. Area People (UDC and Ncd) of 33 deputies, 30 participated, 2 did not take part in the vote and one was on a mission. Forza Italy of 70 deputies, one was in the vote (it is Francesco Saverio Romano , who said in the House), 8 were on a mission and 61 have part in the vote. True to line the 17 deputies of the Lega Nord that have not been in the House, as well as 24 and 90 of Sel the M5S (except one who was on a mission). Even the deputies of Brothers of Italy did not participate in the vote: 6 of 8 (two were on a mission). The mixed group , of 38 deputies, 29 took part in the final ballot, 7 there took part and two were on a mission. The 13 deputies of To Italy-Democratic Centre , 12 voted and one did not participate. Of the 25 deputies of Choosing civic , 24 voted while one was on a mission.
Among those who said they vote no in the Democratic Party Bersani , Rosy Bindi , Hope , Marco Meloni (lettiano), Enzo Lattuca , Pippo Civati , Barbara Pollastrini . The prodiani Sandra Zampa and Franco Monaco did not participate in the vote as well as bersaniani Michela Marzano , James Portas , David Zoggia . In the New center-right vote it was Nunzia De Girolamo . Inside Forza Italy has voted no – remaining in the House as opposed to the rest of the group – Saverio Romano (bank Lease).
Civic Choice: “We determinants for the majority “
And the result is that now also a party that according to all the polls is almost reduced to a flicker, Civic Choice , claims to be indispensable in Parliament: “Today’s vote – said in a note to those who once were called montiani – shows that if the minority Democratic Party gets in the way, without the Civic Choice most in the House do not . It ‘a political fact of great significance in view of future policy actions and renewal of our public administration “.
The opposition, by Sel the League
For the Movement Five Stars have not explained the voting Toninelli and Richard Nuti : “You are doing an act of cowardice that will backfire – said in plenary – Do you want to throw out M5S to continue spartirvi cake. But we are on a diet and do not want it back. Because people do not have kicked in the pants? Why do people go to the theater and does not distinguish reality from fiction. The Parliament is a teatrone … We want to do a minute of silence for this electoral law as do so many other things? “.
They said no even former M5s of Alternative Free (in plenary he spoke Walter Rizzetto ) and Brothers of Italy , as announced by the parent company Fabio Rampelli . “We will not vote this law with which democracy commits suicide – he said – A distressing scene to see the heirs of Gramsci forced to vote a bad law because Renzi afraid to go home.” No expected also from the Lega Nord : “In this disaster Renzi is a teacher who takes advantage of the weaknesses of all, but it sounds a score without rhyme or reason: sang Hello Beautiful on notes Youth “has marked Giancarlo Giorgetti .
” bad law “spoke Nicola Fratoianni for Sel,” not because it has formal defects, but because it is inspired by a wrong installation, a wrong political culture. ” “You say – said the national coordinator of the party – that the law is made to give governability. But democracy means government by the people, and perhaps this is where the jamming. It happens that the people is a complex thing, it happens even that the people have something to say “why” you have made a law that builds a democracy deciding where the people are silent. Governance is a value, but if the government is able to find points of mediation, otherwise it becomes a summit separate self where the decision loses substantial legitimacy. We have another idea in which conflicts and resistances are not a scrap of history. “
Lorenzo Dellai said yes the Group of Popular for Italy, the” splitters “of Civic Choice. “The government by this vote comes out stronger, but the prime minister will have to listen to dissent” said Dellai. In favor even Civic Choice, as declared by the parent company Andrea Mazziotti Of Celso . He claimed his own vote in favor of the New center-right. Maurizio Lupi , the parent company, to support the thesis of the goodness of this law has used the words used by Brunetta in the first passage in the House, when Forza Italy had voted in favor of the same text. Forza Italy, adds, “is still scrambling to explain that this law was a turning point if the Quirinale Amato was elected and is a fascist resurgence after the election of Mattarella. I do not think that Fi might think today that were unconstitutional and fascist objectives that Berlusconi had in 1994 “.
