Sergio Mattarella, President of the Republic, has authorized the presentation to the Chambers of Deputies of the constitutional bill containing "provisions for the direct election of the President of the Council of Ministers, the strengthening of the stability of the Government, and the abolition of the President of the Republic's appointment of senators for life." In this way, the Meloni government's proposed constitutional reform, unanimously endorsed by the Council of Ministers on 3 November, proceeds. The reform is divided into five articles that provide for the direct election of the Prime Minister, who would serve for five years and ensure the continuity of his mandate by being replaced only by a parliamentarian of the majority, and only for the continuation and implementation of the same government program. The electoral legislation is being changed to ensure governability, with a visible majority bonus granted on a national basis to guarantee "55 percent of the seats in the Chambers to lists and candidates linked to the president of the Council of Ministers." The institution of senators for life is also scheduled to be abolished, though not for previous Presidents of the Republic, who would continue to sit in Palazzo Madama.
