19 requests for secret voting on article 1 of the Boschi bill on the reform of the Senate were considered admissible. The president of the Senate Pietro Grasso he read one by one all the amendments on which the vote, which will start in the late afternoon, will be secret. Decision that prompted Ncd to request a further one-hour suspension of the session to evaluate the amendments subject to secret ballot. The request was also supported by the group leaders of the opposition. A little more danger for the government majority, after the president of the Senate yesterday he had defined the 75 million amendments to the Boschi bill on the constitutional reform presented by Northern League senator Roberto Calderoli as inadmissible.
According to the former national anti-mafia prosecutor, examining the "abnormal number" of amendments would require "blocking parliamentary work for an incalculable time". The approximately 500 thousand "already received" by the Constitutional Affairs commission are saved. The amendments to Article 1 declared inadmissible are 395 out of 908. However, among these there is one, number 1.203, signed by Pd senator Roberto Cociancich, which rewrites article 1 of the Boschi bill. If passed, it would void many of the remaining amendments. This would lead to voting the entire art. 1 already tonight.
