The premier and leader of the Democratic Party, Matteo Renzi, collects the advice of Giorgio Napolitano and, closing the Catania Unity Day, confirms his willingness to review the Italicum without preclusions if the numbers are found in Parliament to improve the electoral law also in view of the ruling of the Constitutional Court on 4 October.
But the reactions of the Pd minority to Renzi's overtures remain cold and corroborate the belief of those who maintain that, as on previous occasions, the Bersanians and Dalemians are not in the least interested in discussing the merits of the measures but have the sole objective of hitting Renzi in the hope of defenestrate him. It is no coincidence that Renzi himself argued that "we will not get dragged into the mud war" and that "the old leaders will not steal our future".
But the one who hits hard on the Pd minority is above all the Renzian Roberto Giachetti, clamorously defeated in the Rome administration by Raggi but who in the past went on a hunger strike against Porcellum: "Today - he declared to La Stampa - the Pd minority wants to return on the Mattarellum without shame because they are the same ones who, when it could be done with the Letta government, crippled my proposal forcing the 70 who signed it to abjure in the courtroom. There, if the Democratic Party (led by Bersani) had voted in favor with the Five Stars, it would have approved the Mattarellum, but now the Five Stars want a proportional ”.
Giachetti is convinced that today there is no majority on the Mattarellum in Parliament or even in the Democratic Party and that in reality all the moves of the oppositions aim only to dismantle the Italicum and that, instead of giving up the ballot ("There would no longer be a guarantee that there is someone who wins and governs”), the only possible change is the prize for the coalition rather than for the list
