“Reforms are a priority, the Democratic Party listens to Meloni”. Speak Ceccanti

The constitutionalist and former dem deputy recalls the reformist spirit of the Ulivo, but underlines: “It belongs to the center-right, which would have the numbers to launch them alone, to create a climate of non-self-sufficiency”

“On the common rules, the mandate is to open an open and free discussion, not for unilateral conclusions”. As a suggestion to address the meeting with Giorgia Meloni on institutional reforms Stefano Ceccanticonstitutionalist and former deputy of the Democratic Party, ooffers Elly Schlein a thesis that comes directly from thesis 1 of the “pact to be rewritten together” of the Ulivo. It was 1996 and for the reforms, the “common rules”, the center-left hoped for a collaborative atmosphere with the opposition. It is also on this that one measures whether Schlein’s Democratic Party still has room for the reformism of the time or whether the party is destined, as the Third Pole accuses, “to be reduced to a movement with a minority vocation”. “If the Democratic Party makes the Democratic Party – says Ceccanti – we don’t start from scratch”. However, the constitutionalist dem underlines how the main responsibility for a true dialogue “is in the hands of the majority who are strong in numbers”. Meloni, in fact, has an absolute majority in both houses of parliament. He could therefore approve the reforms without the need for the opposition and then submit them to a popular referendum. “It’s up to them – he says – to create a climate of non-self-sufficiency”.
