Referendum, the PD leaders sound the charge against the "slavina Meloni"

Not technical issues, but the democracy. This is what’s up for grabs next time referendumto Build the Alternative, the ‘chain‘ of the Democratic Party which saw the light in November in Montepulciano.

At Industrie Fluviali, in the Ostiense district of Rome, the area of majority dem has made an appointment to ring the charge in view of the appointment of March 22nd and 23rd. In the background there are the words of the prime minister Giorgia Meloni on the judiciaryafter the Sea-Watch ruling defined by the Prime Minister as “absurd”, as well as “abnormal” by the President of the Senate, Ignazio La Russa. And, above all, after the sentence of Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio on the “paramafia” system which, according to the manager of Via Arenula, characterizes the currents of the judiciary.

The institutional crisis and dem reactions

“If these are abnormal applications of the law, why don’t the ministry inspectors leave the next day to see if there is an abnormal application of the law?”, is the challenge launched by Andrea Orlandoleading exponent of the Dem majority and former Minister of Justice. Words, those of the Prime Minister and the Keeper of the Seals, which opened a “institutional crisis“, dice Peppe Provenzano. “We must not transform a constitutional referendum in an institutional crisis. Because this is happening because of the right“, underlines the deputy and head of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Party who sends a message to Minister Nordio: “If you really want to lower your tone, apologize because you spoke about mafia attacking the power of the State most exposed to the mafia threat”. An appeal, that of the dems, which echoes the call of the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella“high institutions respect the Superior Council of the Judiciary“. Words that the majority made fall on deaf ears for the Dems. “Yesterday the President of the Republic asked for respect for the institutions, starting from Csmand a lowering of the tone. Immediately afterwards the Prime Minister not only attacked the judiciarybut demonstrated indifference and hostility towards the head of state”.

The separation of powers and the institutional avalanche

For the deputy Michela Di Biase the Head of State “has re-established the respect that is due to Csm and how important it is separation of powers in our country. He did it because the words of Nordio who gave gods para-mafia the magistrates are not from a civilized country. In other more civilized countries, this would have led to resignation of the minister of justice“. Going into the merits of reformthe dems underline that the ‘combined arrangement’ between this, the reform of the premiership and the reform of the electoral law would lead to a “institutional avalanche“, the ‘copyright’ still belongs to Provenzano, which would have the effect of “finding ourselves Melons at the Quirinale“.

The deputy Federico Fornaro explains it like this: “This reform is linked to premiered. They want to take us to Budapest, a beautiful city. But I prefer Rome and ours democracy. Orban clearly says he governs one illiberal democracy. And this is the goal he wants to reach right. They want elections similar to a medieval ordeal, in which winner takes all. On the 22nd and 23rd, a technical issue is not at stake, but our very nature is at stake Constitutionof ours democracyfrom the separation of powers and of pluralism“. E Federico Gianassidem group leader in the Justice Commission: “The right is trying to overturn the nature of referendum challengewhich is the change of vision of democracy. This is one political challengewhich concerns the quality of democracy hey citizens’ rights which would be less guaranteed if the Yes“. For Gianassi, on the other hand, “in this reform there is nothing written about citizens’ guarantees. There is no specific rule on the process because this is not the government’s interest. But there is something more: there is the genetic mutation of the prosecutor“.

The call for participation and the surveys

For all these reasons, the ‘chain‘ Pd calls everyone to a ‘belly on the ground’ campaign. THE polls which are also mentioned in meetings at Transatlantico speak of an advantage of No on Yes. And also the host of the River Industries, Corrado Augiasinvites you to take advantage of it: “We have seen theturnout drop dramatically. This referendum could rekindle a flame of interest and participation. It’s that little flame that needs to be rekindled.”
