The Italicum back to the House: in the classroom in September motion of It – The Republic

Rome – In September, after the summer break, the Chamber of the House will return to work on election law for almost a year and a half after its final approval and in a context in which grows the “pressing” also in the Democratic Party, for its amendment. The debate will take place on a motion presented by the Italian Left, concerning the possible unconstitutionality of some dell’Italicum parties, and the consequent amendments to the electoral law. “We ask that the Parliament expresses a ruling before the Court on the unconstitutionality – says the parent company Arturo Scotto , the first signatory of the motion – and as at this time the debate on amendments is concealed, we think is right that we speak openly in Classroom “. The Minister for Reforms, Maria Elena Boschi , says that there has been no breakthrough: “The conference of the leaders of the House has not been scheduled the motion, has just approved the calendar of July while it is limited, as per regulation, to indicate the measures for the program of work for the resumption of September. “

the motion refers to the judgment of the consultation on porcellum, stressing that even the Italicum recurrence of the same “defects” of the old electoral law. The two issues highlighted in the text are the “unequal discharge of the vote and in violation of direct voting dates from the huge majority premium assigned” and “the lack of provision of suitable mechanisms to allow citizens to impact on the election of representatives” .

as for the former, it says the motion, it “is macroscopically present nell’Italicum especially in relation to the case where no list obtains at least 40% in the first round.” As to the second aspect of the motion looks as nell’Italicum, although the “preferences, however, provide leaders are allowed stuck” with preference “vote relegated to a subordinate role compared to the leaders, only covering the list that will achieve will win the prize.”

the news is still read by Forza Italy as a retreat of the majority sull’Italicum: “After the disappointing result of
administrative, with a majority less and less controllable and in the face of increasingly worrying surveys the outcome of the October referendum, renzi begins to falter. and to back down. that’s how the Italicum reappeared to the room and winks to changes …, “says Francesco Paolo Sisto.

But the Democratic Party leader in the House, Ettore Rosato , tow the conspiracy: “All laws, including the election, you can change if you want. Of course you do not change with a motion … “he says. “Of the motion it was not discussed at the meeting of the group leaders, but the text has been inserted in the September jobs program at the request of Si, in the share of each of the opposition.” To those who question if you think that the five stars will support the motion, the deputy chairman of the Democratic Party replied: “If they were consistent, yes, but consistency and 5 Stars is an oxymoron …”. Then he explains: “The Italian Left motion is a political stimulus that we understand, but we can not accept, notwithstanding the debate on the electoral law. That speaks motion of unconstitutionality, the point that we have already passed when we approved the Italicum.”

No back, say the Five Stars. The speaker is the parent company to pentastellata Room, Laura Castelli : “We have always been against all’Italicum, because it is a law that keeps alive the same unconstitutional defects that led the Consultation to reject the ‘porcellum’: the abnormal majority premium and the blocked list headers that do not allow citizens to choose from. Some say that the Italicum favor the M5S but that does not in any way change our position. “

Meanwhile, the minority dem back to pressure. “Whatever leads to a discussion on the electoral law for those who, like me, he has not voted for, I think it’s a matter of interest,” he says David Zoggia . “The support for the constitutional reform with the yes in the referendum is related to an amendment to the election law but also, on a more political level, the need to recover a tune with the country. I hope that Monday’s direction to address these issues.” And Gianni Cuperlo : “The electoral law does not votatae I repeat that it would be an act of wisdom to see her again. I’ve said it in very difficult times, and I say that not just because it was realized that could benefit five stars. I hope that there is already 1 September by the President of the Council and of the Democratic party’s will take note that a change is necessary and that a sign of openness arrivals already in the direction called for Monday. “
