All the stories of Luigi Di Maio
The latest sorties of Luigi Di Maio and Fatto Quotidiano on the referendum and its surroundings
This, then, to defend the "perfect bicameralism", lost 345 seats from the 645 electives as many as he found arriving in Montecitorio in 2013, becoming one of the vice presidents and thus climbing the Grillino movement to become its "leader", the very tanned Luigi Di Maio could have saved it. A bit like the blunder of General Augusto Pinochet, dictator of Venezuela and not Chile, or of the mangled name of the president of China to shorten it, just to mention two mistakes or injuries committed for the same reason for which the Foreign Minister, already Vice President of the Council, Minister of Economic Development and Labor, he set out to defend the perfect bicameralism after having disturbed poor Nilde Jotti from the grave to make her the godmother of the cutting of parliamentary seats subjected to referendum. The young man – not bad at it – has studied and does not study at least some of the problems he deals with.
It's true. Nilde Jotti, the justly unforgotten Communist deputy of the Constituent Assembly, where she was also romantically linked to the party secretary Palmiro Togliatti, highly efficient and unanimously appreciated Speaker of the Chamber, president of one of the bicameral commissions engaged in a non-occasional but organic reform of the Constitution after decades of application also revealing the defects, and not only the merits, just by settling at the top of Montecitorio in 1979 he also surprised his party, a bit too conservative in the institutional field, talking about the excessive number of Italian parliamentarians. But he did so without flaunting silhouettes and scissors, as he would have done after many years in front of the Montecitorio Di Maio door. He did so by speaking in the context of a much broader reform of the Constitution and of Parliament, denouncing the damage experienced by the overlapping and repetitiveness of two Chambers having the same functions.
Other than the story told by Di Maio to Corriere della Sera , of the "superficiality" of the attempt to "unjustly download" on the institutional system ", including" the absolute parity between the Chamber and the Senate in the legislative procedure sanctioned by article 72 of the Constitution, the inefficiencies of a fragmented political class ”. Which therefore would become efficient and not fragmented by magic by having 600 elective parliamentary seats instead of 945: elective, then, so to speak why, also abolished the single preference desired by the voters in the 1991 referendum against multiple preferences, and by now blocking a the lists of candidates are sent double, the seats are actually available to the secretariats of the parties or movements, as those who feel more gifted and innovative prefer to call themselves. And, reduced, they would be even more controllable and disciplined.
We should begin to wonder how long Di Maio and the grillini, supported by the Fatto Quotidiano campaigns, will continue to abuse our patience with their improvisations, as Marco Tullio Cicerone asked Lucio Sergio Catilina in his day. Meanwhile, they cash in the referendum no to parliamentary cuts also by Romano Prodi : a false "turncoat", to keep the language of the fact , having not voted for the scissor cut in the Parliament of which he is not part.
