Having closed, at least for now, the one on preferences opens up a new case on the electoral law, this time on signatures. To balance the cancellation of any threshold of votes to contribute to the prize, the centre-right in an anti-cowl list quadruples the subscriptions to be collected for those who are not in Parliament (going from 1,500 to 6 thousand per constituency). A monstrous collection which - all things considered - forces the new formations, just for Montecitorio to present themselves in all 49 constituencies (the rule requires them to run in at least half), to have to present around 300 thousand signatures.

Against flirtatious lists
The Senate approves the measure, contained in an amendment reformulated by the FdI government, after a decisive clash between the majority and the opposition. The initial hypothesis, then revised in the morning by the majority, envisaged an even higher figure, proposing to go from 1,500 to 9 thousand per college. The opposition protests by speaking of a measure "from the South American regime, unacceptable and discriminatory". They defend it from the centre-right with FI recalling "the shameful cases of lists like Forza Lazio or Forza Roma" and explaining that the objective is to hit the disturbing lists while outside the Palace, from Onorato to the Prc, all the candidates involved are on a war footing.

Early voting hypothesis
The clash in the Chamber on the point before the vote is muscular: the opposition tries to ask for a suspension and verification of the quorum several times. President Ignazio La Russa is directing the proceedings and tries to maintain order and by illustrating the measure (which is not filed until the very end), he also reminds us that the law provides for the halving of subscriptions in the event of early polls. More than someone in the opposition argued about his exit, forcing him to clarify that he was simply citing the law in force. A few hours later, however, the president of the Senate - who also denies any type of clash with Giorgia Meloni on the management of the examination of the reform - returns to evoke the early polls. «The vote in September - he observes - is anomalous. If you don't want to vote in September, I don't rule out the possibility of voting a few months or days before." A theme that returns, despite the League's refusal, in the reasoning of various members of the majority. And one of the interpretations given by the opposition is that it should be speeded up to avoid the ruling of the Council on the electoral law.
The opposition to the attack
According to the Dem Dario Franceschini - for example - the prime minister "is tempted to speed up the vote so as not to give the Constitutional Court time to declare inadmissible various parts of the electoral law which are manifestly unconstitutional". Including the one on signatures against which Elly Schlein promises "we will make a wall". While Giuseppe Conte makes an appeal to Colle. «I ask the President of the Republic Sergio Mattarella to block this rule which is a disgrace», he says. And on the day of the death of the radical leader Emma Bonino she observed how, with rules like these, she would not have been able to enter Parliament.
