On reforms, the Meloni government is traveling fast. Yesterday, another stage: the president of the Senate Elisabetta Casellati had bilateral meetings with the unions on the reform of the Constitution in the presidential sense. “There was agreement on the need to give stability to the government – said the Minister of Reforms – important openings in strengthening the powers of the Prime Minister and also in direct elections”. Basically, according to Casellati, there was “a positive dialogue and sharing on the two pillars on which our ‘open’ proposal for constitutional reform is based: stability and direct elections”.
But the CGIL secretary was more political than unionist. On the other hand, after the hug with Elly Schlein, Maurizio Landini returned to their house. The political break between the Democratic Party and the CGIL was consummated definitively during the time of Matteo Renzi and his “disintermediation”: the first DEM leader to escape union protection. It is not by chance that the Jobs Act has become the negative totem to be overthrown, and it is not by chance that the PSD secretary herself ran her entire campaign in Congress against this liberal labor market reform, pointing to it as a symbol of all bad. A hug, Landini’s, reciprocated, as Schlein is known wearing the warm Fiom T-shirts, leaving the other unions furious. Hence the evil ones think that Landini would like to become the leader of the opposition. And from yesterday’s statements, he seems to have taken the right path.
“Faced with the evident crisis of representative democracy, the main question is to change the electoral law”, commented the former head of metallurgists, thinking, perhaps, of a future landing in Parliament. Following his political style, he erected a series of walls: “We told Minister Casellati that we have no intention of opening negotiations to modify our Constitution or even introduce differentiated autonomy.” In short, for Landini, not presidentialism or the prime minister, but changing the electoral law. The leader of UIL, Pierpaolo Bombardieri, on the other hand, spoke of “an important comparison because we enter into the merits of the proposal also from a technical point of view”. As well as the CISL secretary, Luigi Sbarra, according to whom “it is necessary to update the institutional system to guarantee governance”.
