The reform of the premiership would "leave" to the President of the Republic "the tasks that the founding fathers wanted", downsizing those that the heads of state over time "have had to meritoriously expand to make up for the shortcomings of politics", those "not strictly provided for by the Constitution". This was said by the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa, during the New Year's greetings ceremony with the parliamentary press.
PD on the attack: 'The president of the Senate throws off the mask, the real target is Mattarella'
"Today the President of the Senate and founder of Fratelli d'Italia, Ignazio La Russa, has thrown off the mask and indicated what the real objective of the reform of the premiership is: to reduce the current powers of the President of the Republic, despite the fact that the vast majority of Italians, as evidenced by the polls, have repeatedly shown that they have full confidence in the work of the Quirinale. All the more reason, therefore, to oppose in Parliament and if necessary with the referendum the premiership in Melonian sauce, certainly not designed to respond to the needs of Italy, but rather to demolish the foundations of the parliamentary republic and try to limit Mattarella's institutional action, constantly anchored to full respect for the balances enshrined in our Constitution". This was stated by Federico Fornaro, a member of the Constitutional Affairs Commission of the Chamber of Deputies and a member of the Democratic Party
