Parliamentarians cut, in the Senate already collected 49 signatures for the referendum: there are also 3 M5s. The Giarrusso grillino admits: "I joined"

They serve at least 64 signatures and the senators, who have time until December, have already collected 49 of them. The operation to slow down the entry into force of the constitutional reform of the parliamentary cut and request a referendum confirmatory to the electors proceeds at a brisk pace. The bipartisan committee is at work because the last word on the 5-star flag provision, approved with only 14 against at the beginning of October, touches the citizens. The senator gave the figures Tommaso Nannicini (Pd): "The members", declared to the agency Ansa, "belong a little to all the groups, except the Alloy. There are also three colleagues from the M5s of which I do not refer the names to respect confidentiality, but their act amazed me ".

The only one of the Movement to have come into the open is Mario Michele Giarrusso, that in the last few months has strongly contested the official line of the Movement: "I voted for the cut, but I am in favor of the citizens being able to pronounce themselves. Simply if it confirmed the choice made by the Movement, it would see us very strong ”. Giarrusso also said he proposed to colleagues to support the initiative: "It would be a good sign," he said. "It is a reform made in the interest of citizens. The citizens give us their support, I have no doubt that they will give it to us. The people are sovereign, we believe in direct democracy ".

It will also be how Giarrusso says that the "referendum is not against the cut of the parliamentarians", but the promoter committee presented this morning at the Chamber intends to campaign to have the reform scrapped. It is a "transversal" body that brings together parliamentarians of the majority and opposition, constituted by the radical party and open to the adhesions of anyone interested. "The number that decreases or does not decrease is a detail, the point", said the deputy Giuseppe Gargani during the presentation press conference, "is that the strategy of the 5 stars is that of delegitimize the Parliament and if the mandate restriction was added to the reduction of parliamentarians, Parliament and its function would be totally destroyed. We, through this referendum, must explain to the public opinion that Parliament has an essential and unavoidable function of democracy and freedom of the country ". The Renziano Roberto Giachetti he said he was confident: "The collection of signatures is open and I am confident that we will achieve the result both in the House and in the Senate and it is possible that some Regions, perhaps the most affected in terms of representation, can join us". So he concluded Andrea Cangini of Forza Italia: "Parliamentary democracy is the object of an offensive, this reform, as it was conceived, with an accountant spirit and without political sensitivity, further widens the gap between citizens and institutions".
