Constitutional reforms, majority presents bill: Senate no longer regional. Cut to the delegates for the election of the head of state

The bill proposes the signatures of Leu's group leaders Federico Fornaro, from Italy alive Maria Elena Boschi, of the Pd Graziano Delrio of the Autonomies Renate Gebhard. For the M5s there are the signatures of the vice-group leaders Anna Macina is Francesco Silvestri, as well as the leaders of the Iv and Pd groups in the Committee on Constitutional Affairs, Marco Di Maio is Stefano Ceccanti. The two reforms require that the Senate electoral base is no longer "regional"But"Borough"And that the number of delegates that each Regional council sends to Parliament to participate in the election of the head of state drops from three to two.

The two laws were agreed by the majority together with the other two that are already traveling in Senate and that make the age of active and passive electorate (18 and 25) of the Chamber and Senate homogeneous. These reforms, explained in the report to the proposal filed this morning in the Chamber, aim to mitigate the problems on the "representativeness”Posed by the cut of parliamentarians.

The text, in three articles, intervenes on Article 57 of the Constitutional making the Senate electoral base "circumscriptional" and no longer "Regional" which allows the recovery of remains at national level, allowing medium-small parties to elect a few senators. The second change concerns Article 83 of the Charter, providing that the election of the President of the Republic "two delegates from each Region will participate, elected by the Regional Council so that minority representation is assured". The cut of one third of the great electors is parallel to that of the parliamentarians, who will decrease from 945 to 600: otherwise the delegates of the Regions would have had too much weight in the election of the head of state. The third article of the pdl establishes that the reform enters into force "the day after the entry into force" of the reform that has cut the number of parliamentarians, on which a possible incumbent is incumbent confirmatory referendum.
