The Bunga Bunga Law, the Rosatellum, has been approved, so define those of the M5S. In essence it is a transversal law that favors everyone, except the M5S. Senator Monti lives, saying that this law will continue to cause citizenship to be politically disenfranchised. Verdini exults, and in the plenary she takes the merits of the approval, with the murders of her fellow Senators. Now the text is in the hands of President Sergio Mattarella.
The Rosatellum bis is law with 214 votes in favor. In record time, in just 35 days and with 8 several votes of trust between the Chamber and the Senate, the reform of the electoral law is the fruit of the pact between Pd, Forza Italia, Ap and Lega, which then expands to support other minor forces, first of all the one led by Denis Verdini. That on the day of the definitive go-ahead steals the scene and intervenes in the Chamber claiming the decisive vote of his group: if today there is a majority and there is a new voting system "it is our merit". Not only. The former right-hand man of Silvio Berlusconi is officially placed within the majority of government and even presages also something for the future: "They say that the majority has changed. It is not true ", he speculates in the Chamber," we were there, we are there and we will be there until the last day of the legislature ". As Verdini speaks, the pentastellates' protests, which leave the hemicycle, rise from the benches of the 5 Stelle Movement. But the Tuscan senator does not make a turn, goes straight on his way and takes the opportunity to remove some pebbles from his shoes: "Norma for Foreign Made especially for me? If I ricandido I will do it in Italy ". Verdini also has for former PD: "I understand the bitterness of the bersaniani, a bitterness that perhaps should address first of all to themselves, to new times that do not understand and the mistake of claiming their own story without ever having made the accounts all the way ". And again: "In this hall, when it came to counting our vows, even arithmetic was denied, but this allows me to claim to myself and to my group, with pride, all that we have done, to starting from the role of political substitution that we have carried out, protecting the stability and the interest of the country. And so Ala will continue to do, on the maneuver and on the ius soli.
For the rest, the morning goes by as expected: no surprise about the numbers, the electoral law collects 214 yes, only 61 votes against. The Democratic Party holds up without cracks, the 7 'dissidents' dem do not participate in the vote. No major defections in the ranks of Forza Italia and Ap. The discontent, even heavy, of the last few weeks, at least on paper, seem to have returned. The definitive tear of the dempro remains, even if Dario Franceschini invites us to work to "quickly rebuild a coalition". The dem group leader, Luigi Zanda, stigmatizes the attitude of Mdp "since 2011 you have supported right-wing governments" and of the 5 Stars, who wanted to resort to the secret vote only for "a political maneuver". Even Zanda, in the Chamber, then returns to the theme of ius soli, hoping that the government will put the trust to approve the law. The 5 Stars, who took to the streets yesterday alongside Beppe Grillo, go down hard: the Rosatellum is "a 'bunga bunga' law that resurrects a condemned man". Then comes the 'mea culpa' of Roberto Calderoli, who announces the favorable vote of the League even though "with a blocked nose": "I was unfair to define my law as 'Porcellum', the filth came later". For Paolo Romani today we write "a good page in the history of the Republic", says the leader of the FI. As announced yesterday, in a harsh speech against the forcing of confidence, Giorgio Napolitano votes in favor of the law. Instead, vote against the senator for life and former prime minister Mario Monti, "this law will increase citizens' contempt for politics". From this evening the text of the electoral law will be on the desk of the President of the Republic. Mattarella, repeatedly invoked by M5s and Mdp not to sign the law, will take the time to examine it, most likely one day, at most two. The outcome of this examination does not seem to be able to reserve big surprises: the Head of State has very limited margins for not signing a law, which should be macroscopically unconstitutional in order to be stopped by the Quirinale. The result of the vote also plays in favor of the Rosatellum, which represents a very large majority and moreover transversal, as it unites the Pd and Forza Italia, centrists and Lega in the yes.
