If the hall of Palazzo Madama approves the reform of the Senate and its ineligibility, the Italicum can be reviewed by opening the introduction of preferences and the adjustment of the thresholds and the majority premium: said Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who is pressing the opposition and dissidents to give the green light to the reform of the Senate.

Renzi opens up on preferences, thresholds and premiums: if the Senate reform passes, the Italicum can be reviewed

If the hall of Palazzo Madama approves the reform of the Senate and its direct ineligibility with the longed-for overcoming of the anomalous bicameralism, the Government is ready to revise the Italicum (the electoral law) providing for the introduction of preferences and adjustments both to the majority than at the access thresholds. Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said this in view of the final tightening on the reform of the Senate and the feverish hours that await him with the votes in the classroom and with the close negotiations both with the opposition and with internal dissidents.

Renzi is putting pressure on the senators to approve the reform and is ready to make the necessary balances with significant adjustments to the Italicum which, however, will have to be agreed with the other political forces and in particular with Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia. It is no coincidence that a new meeting between Renzi and the leader of Forza Italia could take place in the next few hours.

First, however, the prime minister wants to see clearly the path of reforming the Senate. Awaiting above all the proof of the truth on the so-called Candiani amendment which provides for the reduction of parliamentarians and which will probably already tomorrow be a kind of litmus test on the holding of the majority and on the real possibility of approving the reform by 8 August
