The constitutional Court will meet tomorrow for deciding on the admissibility of the referendum question proposed by the League for the cancellation of the proportional share of the Rosatellum. The council has decided to participate at the hearing behind closed doors set in the morning, at 9: 30, Roberto Calderoli, as delegate of the Region of Basilicata. May be present – the president, Marta Cartabia has admitted to his request – but without taking the word. This is the first time that this happens, also in the light of the new rules introduced by the Court to an opening of his hearings. Can sit between the benches of the public while to take the word will be both the legal representatives of the organising committee, both those who are opposed to the question.
But the political fact is more significant, in these hours, is the pressure of the League for a return to the Mattarellum. While supporting the front to See a referendum for the majority pure. “We use the Mattarellum, a mix between proportional and majority that works, already applied, and we are going to vote. Then whoever wins, wins. Italy needs stability,” he said this morning, Matteo Salvini, Rtl. While an identical opening was made from his right arm, Giancarlo Giorgetti in an interview with the Paper.
The goal is to reassure Parliament and the Quirinal with respect to the want of “full powers” of the League. Salvini does so by proposing the return to an electoral system – the Mattarellum – that was developed by the current president of the Republic, and which still provides a third of the mps elected in the proportional. And then there is the aim of foiling the maneuvers in progress in the majority for the birth of the electoral law proportional cmen the roman German pontificals. For Salvini would be to go back 30 years, “reviving the political parties and partitini”.
