AWARDED, PERA: āAN UNACCEPTABLE MESS, MELONS AND LEADERS REWRITE ITā
āThis is not premiered, this is just a mess, I hope that Meloni and the other leaders rewrite itā because āwe are faced with an unacceptable textā. Marcello Pera, former president of the Senate, now elected at Palazzo Madama with Giorgia Meloni, shoots nothing at the ānewā text, which came out yesterday from the majority summit. In an interview withberaking latest news he underlines: āWe are faced with a text so confusing, written so badly that no one can understand it, not even those who wrote itā.
Then enter regarding the amendments, on the drafting of which he initially supported the president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission Alberto Balboni, who is rapporteur for the text for Fdi, starting from the hot topic of the second prime minister. āItās a step backwards, a huge step backwards, this anti-tipping rule,ā he is quick to say. āBut thereās more ā the former president of the Senate blurts out ā the elected prime minister is already a problem: that is, there is a president āelectedā on Sunday who already becomes president āin chargeā on Monday, there is a difference no small featā we are faced with āsomething that doesnāt even exist in the current Constitutionā. And even the reference to the electoral law in the Constitution, although it has been nuanced, is not convincing. And on the possible no-confidence vote in the second prime minister? āGood question ā he replies Peraā if he too is disheartened, we vote, we voteā¦ But you really donāt understand this eitherā¦ā.
The amendment to the art. was also rejected. 4 where we read that the āwithdrawal of confidenceā in the Prime Minister occurs āthrough a reasoned motion by one of the two Chambersā. āBut what is this thing?ā, asks Pera: āHow is it conceivable that the majority would make a reasoned motion to disqualify their prime minister?ā. However, there are no criticisms for other modified parts. In line with the premiership, the power to dismiss ministers has also been added to the prime ministerās powers: āThis is fine for me,ā says Pera. The limit of two full mandates for the elected head of government is also good (āItās something that can be acceptedā). Now we await the green light from the leaders, the table with Meloni, Salvini and Tajani: āIām curiously waiting, I want to understand how they come out of it. I hope they correct it, because as it is itās not really digestibleā, concludes the senator of Lucca.
BALBONI: āCRITICISM PERA? HE ALSO WROTE AMENDMENTSā¦ā ā
āI have great respect for President Pera, he helped me write the amendments and if he helped me write the amendmentsā¦ then this is self-criticism, I donāt knowā¦ā. Interviewed by beraking latest news, Alberto BALBONI, president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Senate, takes note of the new criticisms of Marcello Pera, senator of Fdi who, in recent days, has tried with him to smooth out the amendments to the bill on the premiership, in view of the deposit next Monday. āProfessor Peraās reservations were there before and remain afterwards ā he underlines ā itās not that he contests the amendment because it is poorly written, but he contests the basis of the law which he doesnāt agree withā. āLetās be clear, Pera does not agree with the direct election of the Prime Minister, this is the truth. I have a bill in my hand which says ādirect election of the Prime Ministerā, I can change everything, but not the direct election of the Prime Minister, it is what is written in the title of the law, otherwise I will take the law and throw it in the bin, I will do it firstā, concludes the senator from Ferrara.
