An election day on September 13, when it is still hot and the risks of a rising infection are less. The orientation of the government, which mounts controversy, is not in time to be formulated. The doubts of some governors, of the opposition and of a majority on an Augustan election campaign for regional, municipal and constitutional referendums, open a new confrontation. Premier Giuseppe Conte speaks of "shared choice". But the date returns to 'dance' and the discussion arrives on the table of the delegation heads. It is the Undersecretary Achille Variati to reveal the government's orientation, in the discussion in committee in the House on the electoral decree which is being converted and is expected in plenary next week. The M5s rapporteur Anna Bilotti introduced an amendment to allow the vote to be carried out even before 15 September, the first date foreseen by the decree. And Variati explains that according to the opinion of the Scientific Technical Committee it is better to summon the Italians to the polls before the temperatures begin to drop and the risk of infection with Coronavirus increases. September 13 is the date proposed for the regional ones in Campania, Veneto, Puglia, Liguria, Marche, Valle d'Aosta, but also the municipal ones, the referendum for the cutting of parliamentarians and the supplementary elections for the Chamber and the Senate. But in the evening it emerges that as an alternative to the Viminale, we think of 20 or 27 September, dates which, however, would fall in correspondence with Jewish holidays. The government's goal is to agree majority and opposition, but also to minimize the risk of contagion: hence the election day, which some parties dislike
