Referendum against Italicum, fails collecting signatures is insufficient – The Republic

Rome – referendum to change the Italicum , the proportional electoral law with a majority correction desired by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, will not take place. The promoters of the collection of signatures, the same that promote the “no” for the upcoming constitutional referendum expected in October, tomorrow will not deliver anything to the Supreme Court: the signatures are below the 500 thousand minimum requirement. Came to 420,000, according to calculations closed this afternoon. Professor Alessandro Pace, constitutional expert, promoter of the referendum, confirming the first indication of the CGIL: “To change the Italicum have not achieved sufficient numbers. We’re disappointed, but we will work harder to get signatures for the largest consulting October. “

the so-called Italicum was approved May 6, 2015 and will govern the upcoming elections of parliamentarians of the House. It ‘a system of proportional two-round majority-correction that includes a majority premium, a minimum threshold and 100 multi-member constituencies with the blocked list headers. Here, the anti-referendum Italicum wanted to repeal its two nodal points of the new electoral law: the “100 list headers blocked” and obtaining 340 deputies out of 630 (54 percent) for the list that 40 percent of the votes after the first round.

These questions, however, will not be placed Italians and the former trade unionist Alfiero Grandi officially announce tomorrow morning did not want to open another discussion on the day of the national leadership the Democratic Party. To get to the referendum had spent the ANPI and the Arch, more secluded the CGIL.

to anti Together italicum went bankrupt, then, the two signatures collected for so-called environmental referendum : a new question against the drills on land and at sea (not far from the one that did not get a quorum last 17 April) and one against incinerators: for both, the counts of the signatures were closed far from the threshold needed. He got hundreds of thousands of subscriptions petition (this is a petition and therefore will not lead to a referendum) to withdraw the decree Madia, which intends to privatize public services despite the outcome of the referendum of 2011.

the CGIL, again, is personally following the counting of signatures for the four questions against the Good school , in the Rome office of the Federation of knowledge workers: only in the night you will understand, with the arrival of the last van which withdrew the boxes of signatures in the northern city, if this proposal will be achieved half a million signatures. The promoters speak of “the wire numbers.” In this case, the “good school”, are four against the questions: powers of head teachers, school-work, good schools for private, evaluation committees which have to award prizes to the most deserving teachers.

we are witnessing a short-circuit of lost referendum (the drills), proposed referendum (the three questions to limit the Jobs act for which this past July 2nd were obtained 3 million and 300 thousand signatures) and the referendum for which you do not signatures (anti-Italicum and two environmental) are collected. We must also add the final rush for the “constitutional” in October, however, already been fixed to October. Those in favor and those opposed to the abolition of the Senate have ten days anchors for the collection of signatures, although they are not necessary. Matteo Renzi in the direction of the Democratic Party said that the committees for the “yes” that he claims are at an altitude of 400,000 while the committees for the ‘no’, in turn, say they are close to the threshold (symbolic at this point) of the half a million .
