The Chamber has approved the trust in article 3 of the Rosatellum 2.0. There were 309 yeses, 87 nos and 6 abstentions. THE first two votes of confidence in the Chamber they went smoothly yesterday, as expected, with a tension more reflected by the street demonstrations than by the pathos of the vote.
The real heart-pounding moment will instead be in the afternoon or Friday morning on the final vote, which will be by secret ballot. Even if the majority flaunt confidence, at the moment about seventy snipers are suspected and it is hoped that the number will not increase. And it is to speed up and secure the process of the Rosatellum before the budget law that we are also moving towards trust in Palazzo Madama.
Protests continue outside the building: yesterday afternoon the demonstration of the left was held, with demonstrations in Piazza Montecitorio and at the Pantheon. “Gentiloni had said that he would not intervene. He has lost credibility ”, said Pier Luigi Bersani as he arrived at the demonstration. Yesterday the Movimento 5 Stelle was also in the square, which called its constituents to rally again today. “This Parliament no longer has the dignity to represent citizens – Danilo Toninelli declared in the Chamber of Deputies – because trust is placed, as in 1923, on the Acerbo law and then on the Fraud law. Where is that Gentiloni passer-by who has to be called by Rosato to establish trust? This government and this Parliament are made up of unworthy people and liars. You don't have the dignity to represent Italians, you don't represent those citizens you silenced with a coup.
