The Meloni government accelerates on constitutional reforms and in particular on presidentialism.
The prime minister said she was convinced of the need to change the Charter, however trying to have "the widest possible dialogue with the parliamentary forces".
For this he has launched a series of consultations with the various political forces, including those of the opposition.
Among the first to have an interview with the Prime Minister, the leader of the 5 Star Movement Giuseppe Conte . Which, however, on leaving Montecitorio, closes the doors to a possible pentastellate side to the reform project.
“The theme is that at least since this first meeting there has been no sharing ,” Conte said after the meeting. Adding: «We are for sensible solutions and also for a strengthening of the premier's powers but in a balanced framework, which does not mortify the parliamentary model which is very useful for inclusiveness and favors the resolution of conflicts. And the function of the President of the Republic is very important to us, which is a guarantee and serves national cohesion, he has a key role".
On the other hand, the exponents of the Third Pole were optimistic : «We have defined the perimeter of intervention: for us there is an absolute red line which is the figure of guarantee of national unity of the President of the Republic , the only institution that guarantees the unit, touching it would be a serious mistake. Instead, we are in favor of the indication of the Prime Minister on the model of
mayor of Italy», said the leader of Action, Carlo Calenda.
Meloni also had a first face-to-face meeting with Pd secretary Elly Schlein . At the end of the conversation, the dem leader declared: "What we do not want and to which we do not lend ourselves is the weakening of checks and balances provided for by the Charter, just as we do not touch the institution of the President of the Republic ".
A closure, therefore, to the possibility of supporting the reforms proposed by the Government, since, added Schlein: "We are not in favor of reducing the role of the president of the republic towards a model of a single man or woman in command".
