The Board of Regulations of Palazzo Madama unanimously voted on the opinion that provides for the dissolution and renewal of the Foreign Affairs commission chaired by Vito Petrocelli. “The President of the Senate is required, in order to ensure the regular conduct of parliamentary work, to provide for the necessary formalities for the renewal of the body, in analogy to Article 21, paragraph 7 of the regulation”, reads the opinion. The latter provides that “Permanent Commissions are renewed after the first two years of the legislature and their members can be confirmed”.
The President of the Senate, Casellati in Aula specified that the parliamentary groups are invited to indicate the designations of the members of the “new” Foreign Senate, by next Friday, May 12, at 1pm. Casellati underlined this after reading the opinion of the Coming to the regulation that dissolves the current Commission following the resignation of 20 senators out of twenty-two.
And Petrocelli, while the vote was in progress, also tweeted about “revenge” by the Democratic Party and Italy alive. This was before the vote came, a decision that arrived anyway. As the vice-president of the party Riccardo Ricciardi had already anticipated: «Petrocelli has been expelled, formally I believe there is still a formal step to be taken, but he is already out of the Movement. We are in favor of his decadence ».
Last week the members of the Commission had resigned en masse – all but one, the former M5S Emanuele Dessì, now in the Communist Party of Marco Rizzo and President Casellati asked the parties if they intended to reassign the vacancies very soon of mail.
