The Chamber of Deputies has concluded its consideration of the amendments to the proposed electoral reform bill and the related 29 motions. The final vote, by secret ballot, on the first reading is expected this morning.

Yesterday , the Assembly unanimously approved, with the Government's approval (353 votes in favor), a subamendment allowing anyone away from home for work, study, or health reasons to vote in political and European elections and referendums.

Meanwhile, after the fall, with the majority down by one vote in the Chamber of Deputies in the secret ballot for the Brothers of Italy amendment on preferences, the Chamber also rejected the amendment presented by Futuro Nazionale, also regarding preferences . The votes in favor were 139, against 233, with the center-right split: Brothers of Italy voted yes, while the League and Forza Italia voted no.

This last vote on preferences was also held by secret ballot. But even before the vote, Giorgia Meloni's party, which has 117 members of the Chamber of Deputies, had expressed its intention to vote in favor.

The outcome of this vote also triggered a reaction from the opposition. "Today, a new minority government is being revealed, the Fdi-FnV coalition . We cannot continue as if nothing is happening in this Parliament," commented Riccardo Ricciardi, leader of the Five Star Movement in the Chamber of Deputies.

"A right-wing majority has been formed, " the current "majority no longer exists. Stop!" echoes PD group leader Chiara Braga. Luana Zanella of Avs agrees: "FdI is trying to use the Vannacci group as a crutch for a government in crisis."
