“Reforms that Italian government is carrying on – describes Boschi - have a double goal: in one hand is a way for ensuring guarantee of government, in the other aims to simplify law-making process within the Italian Parliament”. “Criticism about reforms outlines that there is a risk of too much power concentration – states Pierangelo Giovanetti, editor in chief of local newspaper “L’Adige” – a risk of only one man commanding”. Minister Boschi disagrees: “Last seventy years in Italy we had 63 different government, it is an anomaly to abolish, we need a stable and representative government without “grosse koalition” or “technocrats” as well”.
And what happens if the Referendum on constitutional reforms (the date of October 2nd is not yet confirmed but remains likely) will be won by the the No-reforms front? “A total chaos – foresees professor D’Alimonte, one of the father of “Italicum” -, Prime Minister Renzi (according to him) will resign, no parliamentary majority will bring to new elections with two different electoral rules for each branch of the Parliament and as a consequence any certain government to be appointed. A scenario worse than Brexit”.
Concerning Referendum campaign (started a bit too early) there is not the danger that a four months long propaganda could bother Italian electors, already disaffected by politics? “Italian people should recover a role of active citizenship – points out professor Aines – as for instance happened in 1946 with the choice between Kingdom and Republic. At the same time Referendum will be an opportunity for many people to re-study our Constitution charter”.
A final word on self-government in Trentino. “Autonomy of some Italian region or province, as Trentino, - closes Boschi – will not be touched, on the contrary it will be valorised by the Seante of Autonomies”. With a sigh of relief by governor Ugo Rossi.
