Renzi: today's Spain like yesterday's Italy. “But today we have the Italicum”

El Pais headline: "Bienvenidos a Italia" but the Prime Minister Matteo Renzi responds to the Spanish media who compare the current situation to what has been seen in Italy over the last few years, recalling the innovations produced by our new electoral law: the Italicum has definitively eliminated the specter of ungovernability for our country.

Renzi: today's Spain like yesterday's Italy. “But today we have the Italicum”

The Italian Prime Minister also intervened to comment iThe result of the Spanish general election which catapulted Moncloa into ungovernability.

Impossible not to think today, after the definitive data from the polls, of a comparison with what seemed to be a rule in Italy until a few years ago, that is to say an uncertain response that did not ensure any certainty for the future.

A parallel also made by the Spanish media themselves. El Pais, one of the main newspapers in the country, came out today with an exemplary title "Welcome to Italy". However, what the Iberian journalists did not take into account is that Rome could have definitively put an end to the political chaos deriving from an electoral law which did not guarantee the certainty of a government with a solid majority behind it, capable of legislating without resort to the traditional "broad agreements". A change that has instead been underlined by the Prime Minister Renzi: "It is today's Spain, but it looks like yesterday's Italy. Of yesterday because now we have canceled every post-election ballet. Blessed be Italicum, truly: there will be a clear winner. And a majority capable of governing. Stability, common sense, certainties. Point".

These are the words pronounced by the Prime Minister in a preview of the usual Enews.

The main purpose of the Italicum, the new electoral law approved last May which he will now have to face the referendum and the Consulta, is precisely that of guaranteeing the governability of Italy after the chaos experienced in the recent past (a thought of the 2013 policies is a must) immediately indicating who will govern after the vote and guaranteeing him the majority with a bonus adequate.

“The Italicum – continued the Premier – which, I remember, works like this. With the new electoral law, approved at the instigation of our government in May 2015, there will be a clear winner. And a majority capable of governing. Stability, common sense, certainties. Point".

A new electoral law is exactly what the main political parties are calling for today in Spain, a priority measure to be put in place when the ungovernability chaos is resolved.

According to the Prime Minister, the response of the Iberian polls, as well as that resulting from the Portuguese and Greek votes previously, has a clear meaning, which the European Union cannot and must not ignore. For Renzi it is necessary to “understand if Europe will realize that a short-sighted policy of rigor and austerity gets us nowhere. I will say this in the coming months. I hope in more numerous company” for “a battle against Europe, but for Europe”, also defending “Italy's interests”.
