"Tomorrow we convened the opposition to talk about constitutional reforms. I think it's a priority to say enough to the governments built in the laboratory inside the palace that pass on the skin of the citizens and bind those who govern to the popular consensus and give this nation stability, governments that last five years". This was said by the president of the council Giorgia Meloni at the rally in Ancona.
A key week opens for the debate on reforms. "We want to listen to the opposition's proposals, reforms must be written together," saidDeputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. Frost from Fratelli d'Italia: "We are open to discussion. If there was a preventive no that does not let us go forward we should proceed alone", says the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani. Tomorrow the meeting between Giorgia Meloni and the opposition. In view of the table on reforms, the secretariat of the Democratic Party was held. "It is not a way to distract attention from the issues that affect people and the needs of the country: work, health, PNRR", is what emerged from the Dem interventions. Giuseppe Conte will be present tomorrow at the meeting with Meloni.

The position of the Democratic Party: the table is fine but not the direct election of the premier
"Let's sit at the table, we can think about hypotheses that guarantee greater governability and representation, but we say no to the direct election of the prime minister and even less of the president of the Republic". According to what has been learned from some participants in today's meetings of the Democratic Party, it is the position of the secretary Elly Schlein, in view of tomorrow's meeting with the president of the council, Giorgia Meloni, on reforms. The issue - this is the reasoning that emerged in the meetings - is not how to guarantee full powers to the single woman in charge, but how to improve the institutional structure. The proposal of the Democratic Party would refer to the model of the German chancellorship, with the introduction of constructive no-confidence and the power of appointment and dismissal of ministers by the premier. Strong skepticism has emerged in the face of a possible proposal for a bicameral or constituent assembly, also because - it is the reflection - it would risk dragging the country into months and months of discussions, overshadowing the real priorities, such as work and health. The line of the Democratic Party, in any case, will be clarified by Schlein during the meeting with Meloni and will be the result of the synthesis that the secretary will make, also in light of what emerged in today's meetings with the members of the secretariat and with the dem parliamentarians who are part of the Constitutional Affairs committees of the Chamber and Senate. The definition of the Democratic Party delegation that tomorrow will participate in the meeting with Meloni is still underway. It should be composed of the secretary, the leader of the group in the Senate Francesco Boccia, the leader of the group in the Chamber Chiara Braga and the head of Reforms of the Democratic Party, Alessandro Alfieri.
