The blind obstructionism of the opposition to the reform of the Senate embitters but does not bend Prime Minister Matteo Renzi who, on the contrary, relaunches: "If the reform of the Senate is approved, the Italicum becomes revisable" . In essence, Renzi is ready to negotiate on the electoral law, already approved in the Chamber, opening up to the preferences and adjustments of the majority bonus and the access thresholds for minor parties but on one mandatory condition: that the obstructionism end and that the reform of the Senate is finally approved. In other words: yes to negotiation but no to blackmailing minorities.
In an increasingly hot climate, the majority has collected another partial success in the Senate because today, despite the protests of the oppositions, the Council of the regulation confirmed the validity of the so-called "kangaroo" which allows to deduct the amendments precluded by the rejection of the amendment principal. Already yesterday 1.400 of the 8.000 amendments presented to reform the Senate were decimated.
Meanwhile, while the waters in the Pd house are less agitated after Renzi's acceptance of the Chiti mediation (rejected however by Sel), the relations between Renzi and Vendola's small party have become very tense, which yesterday lost the federation of Sel of Siena which he thus intended to protest against the refusal of any media coverage on the reform of the Senate
