The premiership, dubbed the "mother of all reforms" by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, may begin its parliamentary voyage from Palazzo Madama. Parliamentary sources reported this yesterday. "Today (yesterday, ed.) confirms what we have been warning about for some time: there will be a majority barter in the Senate between premiership and autonomy. The news that the government's announced constitutional reform will begin in the Senate, if confirmed, appoints our fears that Palazzo Madama will be the place where Fratelli d'Italia and Lega will control each other," attacks Francesco Boccia, president of the Democratic Party's senators. "I believe that the legislation will be introduced in the Chambers next week," says Reforms Minister Elisabetta Casellati in an interview with Rainews, calling the opposition's attacks "instrumental". "It is enough to read the articles to immediately realize that there is nothing that is taken away from the President of the Republic"."President Meloni attempts to defend the Casellati reform's inability to terminate ministers in Bruno Vespa's book. Today, according to Meloni, she can request Mattarella to terminate a minister. It is a severe political and constitutional error", says Italia's deputy of Italia Viva Boschi, Maria Elena. "The vote of individual no-confidence, rather than the Prime Minister's request for revocation, is now the only way to remove a minister. That is why the Government's wording must properly limit the authority of appointment and dismissal. And it is critical that Meloni attends Parliament and is receptive to changes to the text since her sentence demonstrates that they do not know what they are talking about on this specific subject. We are present, but only if we do things correctly".
