Constitutional reform on the agenda. Prime Minister Meloni launched his challenge to improve the country. A fundamental step will be the reform of the position of prime minister: the direct election of the prime minister will guarantee Italy greater stability in its governments. «In these 75 years the protagonists, the electoral laws, the parties have changed, but the instability has always remained the same. The only thing that never changed was the basis of the system, which is the Constitution, and it was here that we now had the courage to intervene, which is why we launched the constitutional reform.”
Then, the reference to the ways of approving the reform itself. Regarding this reform “we will seek the necessary broad consensus in Parliament, but if this is not possible, Italians will have to speak out in a referendum. So it will also be you who will tell us if you want to put an end to the season of palace games, reversals, rainbow majorities, technical governments, governments that last 1 and a half years and bring Italy to the Third Republic. I am convinced that Italians will not miss this opportunity to implement the mother of all reforms and on which the possibility of implementing all others depends.” This is what Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said at the national assembly of the National Confederation of Crafts and Small Businesses and Medium Companies.
