Reintroduce preferences or keep the lists blocked: He risks being the first of the crossroads to face in the discussion on the electoral law that the center -right is starting to start. So far there are only hypotheses, in front of which the oppositions have raised the antennas, also in light of the last interview in which Giorgia Meloni has made an allusions to an encore. There are those like Angelo Bonelli (AVS) who in front of this “acceleration” wonders if the premier wants to “go to early elections”. Who like the leader of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein is limited to saying that “there was no contact” with the majority. And who like the president of the M5s Giuseppe Conte remains at least: “There is no proposal. When it is and if there is, this availability “to the comparison” we will evaluate “. Meanwhile, Meloni is preparing, on Wednesday in the Senate, to reply to the criticisms of the oppositions, which in the Premier Question Time will question it on the commitments made with the USA in the meeting with Donald Trump, on the strategies against the dear-bold, on industrial policy, military expenses and reforms to be built. Fdi’s leader will hardly change the line on the premiered, the “mother of all reforms”, to be carried out. But the ten months stall in the Chamber make many believe that it is no longer a priority. “It has been reduced – the lunge of Davide Faraone, of IV – to an old style agricchio for a modification to the electoral law”.
“There is no construction site open on the electoral law, let alone if we want to destabilize parliament with two years in front …”, try to curb a big of Fdi. The reasoning, however, have started. It is discussing “between us inside the party and also with the allies, and the comparison will necessarily also expand to the oppositions”, admits Alberto Balboni (Fdi), president of the Constitutional Affairs Commission of Palazzo Madama where the DDL is about to be engraved that intervenes on the ballots for the municipalities above 15 thousand inhabitants. A modification show negatively from the oppositions. Balboni is also “favorable” to preferences, while recognizing that “they are not so necessary” if “the lists are short, four, five or maximum six candidates”.
Meloni has always declared himself against the sticked lists, but according to the moods that emerge for now in Parliament the idea of reintroducing preferences that are not entitled Fi and Lega. A novelty on site is the elimination of uninominal colleges, within a proportional frame with majority prize. «To us – says the group leader of FI in the Chamber Paolo Barelli – the proportional, always on a majority basis, does not mind. Increased majority, therefore, not an absolute proportional. But it is still premature ». The times are not tightened if you look at the horizon of spring 2027. If instead an early voting scenario of one year should be realized, not too distant accelerations are not excluded. Meanwhile, the reflections on the third term of the governors continue in the center -right. The next crossroads is by May 18, when the terms of the government expire to challenge the Trentino law that introduces the third term for the president of the autonomous province. After the sentence of the Consulta which set the limit in the ordinary regions to two, the various souls of the executive (on the one hand the League, on the other Fdi and Fi) are looking for a point of fall. The theme was addressed in the last Council of Ministers, last Wednesday, and could return to the table next Friday. Meanwhile, there is also waiting for the opinion of the Council of State on the electoral window for the Veneto: autumn 2025 or spring 2026, the two scenarios.
