Rome, 29 May (LaPresse) – “Today, those defending the current electoral law are the very people who used to oppose it, starting with Conte and the Five Star Movement, whilst those who want to scrap it claim it hasn’t ensured governability – despite the fact they’ve been in power for four and a half years. I think that’s quite a paradox. Electoral laws can be changed on one condition: that the rules of the game are written together. This electoral law was backed by both the majority and the opposition; it was voted for by the League, Forza Italia and the PD. It was a shared law. With the Stabilicum, we will be faced with a text desired, written and voted for solely by the majority. And I fear – though I may be proven wrong – that they will even call for a vote of confidence” . So said the deputy secretary of Azione, Ettore Rosato, speaking on SkyTg24. “We will try to change something during the amendments phase; I don’t think they will take our requests on board, but even if they did and we therefore voted in favour, it would create a rift, a wall over democratic rules that would be a heavy wall,” he concluded.
Electoral law, Rosato: ‘Changes can be made, but the rules must be drawn up together’
