"I am engaged in an activity of listening to both the representatives of the majority and the opposition. As it is a constitutional reform, the objective is to achieve it all together with as much sharing as possible." With these words, the Minister for Reforms, Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati, answered the questions on the timing and modalities for the presidential reform repeatedly mentioned by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a priority for the current legislature. "I believe that my listening activity can end by the end of January, listening to the representatives of all the parties or the experts indicated by the various political forces. The proposal will be ready when I have listened to the positions and reasons of all the parliamentary groups, hoping to find a drop point". As for the timing, Casellati adds: "Before the summer the government's proposal should certainly be ready, but it is difficult for me today to give certain times. I will also have to listen to different constitutionalists." The former president of the Senate then adds: "It is since the ninth legislature that we have been discussing presidentialism, it is certainly not new today. We have been talking about it for a long time and I really don't understand who talks about impossible missions since proposals and initiatives in this sense have come in the past both from the right and from the left".
