Electoral law approved in the Chamber, the reactions of the parties and political leaders

Meloni: "Now Italians will be able to choose everything"

"With the definitive approval of the new electoral law, when Italians return to vote they will be able to choose everything: the party, the coalition, the programme, the candidate for prime minister and - once again - their own parliamentarian. The centre-right is reintroducing preferential voting, which had been missing for over thirty years, giving citizens back the power to directly choose who represents them", declared the Prime Minister again. "Stable governments and greater participation mean more continuity, more responsibility and more ability to give concrete answers to Italians." Among the innovations of the electoral reform, Meloni recalled, "we introduce rules designed to favor the stability and parliamentary coherence of any government, regardless of its political colour. Because whoever wins the elections must be able to govern, and whoever is elected must answer to the voters who chose him". Furthermore, "off-site voting for students, workers and family caregivers is also present, in the cases provided for by law: a concrete response to a request made by many citizens, especially young people, who live far from their municipality of residence".

Tajani: "With this law we offer stability"

"I said that there would be no snipers, I was a good prophet. We are absolutely happy", declared the deputy prime minister and leader of FI Antonio Tajani, speaking to journalists. "The center-right offers Italians a voting system to continue to guarantee the country the political stability necessary to strengthen the image of a credible and reliable Italy also at an international level. We say yes to long-lasting governments capable of implementing the programs presented to citizens, we say no to those palace alchemies so dear to the left which betray the choices of the voters", the deputy prime minister then wrote on X.

Lupi: "Compact centre-right, with stability and governability reform"

"The vote on the electoral law sends a clear message: the centre-right is united and will continue to work together until the end of the legislature to complete the reforms that the country needs. When we return to vote, we will do so with a system that guarantees representation, governability and stability, immediately clarifies who won and governs and who lost and goes to the opposition, and finally closes the season of palace games", declared Maurizio Lupi, president of Noi Moderati

Foti: "Oppositions finally united in defeat"

"I continue to think that those who vote against the confidence in the Meloni government are in the opposition just as Schlein, Conte, Fratoianni and Bonelli are in the opposition. I would add that today the opposition front was finally united in defeat. The disappointment lies among their benches, they asked for the secret vote hoping to be able to win with the snipers, I hope they didn't have any within them", declared the Minister for European Affairs, the PNRR and Cohesion Tommaso Photos.
