Rome, 24 Nov (Adnkronos) – The one regarding stability “is a reflection that we have also carried out with the institutional reforms, with the prime ministership that we have proposed and will implement. It was Giovanni Donzelli, who just closed the regional elections, who raised the topic of electoral reform again.
The Manager of the FdI Organization, commenting on the results of the vote in Veneto, Campania and Puglia, explained: “We want to maintain this political stability regardless of who wins the elections. If the broad party wins, we will be ready to oppose it calmly, if we win, we will be ready and calm to continue governing Italy. But we believe that instability of government and constantly changing majorities during the legislature are of no use to Italy”.
In the majority, Matteo Salvini seemed more cautious: “Now let’s focus on the budget and security law, then we will have the opportunity to discuss the party’s organizational model.” Meanwhile, Antonio Tajani explained in detail: “Regarding electoral law, I have always supported proportional representation, also because I have always been elected to the European Parliament with proportional representation, a proportional system with rules similar to the election of a mayor or president of a region.

(Adnkronos) – For the deputy prime minister and FI leader, “I think even among the opposition there are those who support this, so that we can move forward and continue in this direction”. But the opposition did not provide a uniform response to electoral reform. “As M5S, we have always opposed this electoral law. When there is a consensus, it will emerge, whatever the electoral law. But we support the change, we support proportional representation”, explained M5S group leader in the Chamber Riccardo Ricciardi.
Elly Schlein is more cautious: “The right has not put forward a proposal, we will evaluate if they do. But we start from a worse premise: fear of losing, because with the coalition we have built, in 2022 it will not work as before – explained the leader of the Democratic Party -. Donzelli also said it, they know that those who are stubbornly united will lose with this electoral law. Another false premise is the premiership, a reform that we will continue to violently reject”. For the mayor of Naples and president of Anci Gaetano Mandredi, “I don’t understand why the electoral law needs to be changed, Meloni has a strong majority. For the center-left, the real problem is that efforts are needed to produce political proposals and programs”.
Riccardo Magi has no doubts: “It is clear that the unspoken need is to avoid a possible defeat of the center-right disguised by the need to provide stability to the country as Meloni claims to lead one of the longest-lasting governments in the history of the Republic – said the +Europa secretary -. The only need for a new electoral law is to restore the weight and value of the citizen’s vote but the right intends to propose a law in which citizens will decide even less than they did today with Rosatellum”. And according to Matteo Renzi, “the results of Campania and Puglia, after Tuscany, say that there is an alternative, from the Reformist DPR to the left. And this alternative, if united, wins. From tomorrow morning Giorgia Meloni will try to change the electoral law. Because with this electoral law he will never set foot in Palazzo Chigi again”.
